NFL: Offseason Thread
- Thread starter Mr Janny
- Start date
Those two-toned helmets were pretty bad.
I don't like every combo in the set, but at least Jax simplified the design.
A very minor change, but the 2018 night games are starting a few minutes earlier (all times are Central Time):
Sunday Night Football kick-off is now 7:20 (was 7:30)
Monday Night Football kick-off is now 7:15 (was 7:30)
Thursday Night Football kick-off is now 7:20 (was 7:25)

I was going to go ballistic if they didn't move that Thursday night game back 5 minutes. About ******* time.
IF you are interested in seeing the NFL Schedule "leaks" early these 2 twitter sites do a pretty good job of updating it as the games are leaked out:

Dwight Freeney is done. Hell of a player in his prime. I don't think he quite has the resume for the Hall but if there was a Hall of Very Good he'd be in for sure.
Never much of a run defender but when he was healthy there wasn't an offensive tackle in the league who could keep him from turning the corner and getting upfield. He and Robert Mathis absolutely terrorized AFC South QBs for a solid decade.

Congrats to him. Hall of Famer? His consistency and longevity are impressive but when I think about the best tight ends of the last 10-15 years I tend to think of Gonzalez and Gates first.
I’m a little slow in seeing this. I am truly hoping that Ted Lasso makes an appearance at the game at the HotSpurs
Vikings have picked up Trae Waynes 5th year option, and have also re-signed Terence Newman. I don't think we'll see much of Hughes this season (at least maybe not early on).

SIAP: NFL is changing kickoff rules. Players kicking off can't get a running start, no more wedge blocking. Receiving team must have 8 players within 15 yards of the kick line

They should quit ******* around and just dump the kickoff now. All these rule changes and half measures are just a waste of time when it's pretty clear what their ultimate goal is.
Reports were 71 concussions on kickoff plays in the last 6 years. Absolutely the least exciting play in the NFL anymore, even if one gets busted for 6.
