Heard a doctor on sports radio the other day say getting rid of the helmets in football could decrease concussions

I very much agree that if u take away the feeling of protection, self preservation would change the nature of the contact.

Yeah, helmets were protection and not a weapon back in the day when '65, HD, and D80 played.

And on BB&B today you can clearly see what that has done to each of their cognitive reasoning skills.

Back then helmet = turtle shell.

Haha!! He was saying helmets are added weight and are thrown around like weapons, only to provide more contact for the brain. The helmet works sometimes, but a concussion is when the brain strikes the cranial wall and bruises.. that can still easily happen with a helmet on.. we see it all the time.

Also it was brought up that changing helmets 7 times in a season increase concussions. Wearing the same helmet all year is healthier for the brain than putting in a new helmet every week.

I support almost any theory on making the game safer. No way could they ever convince people no helmets is safer, but little things matter.
