# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching didn't he go into rap? Or am I confusing that with Montavious Pitts and/or Joshua Stanford?
Malcolm Delaney says hello.
Very good point. The article says that it "absorbs a hit like a car bumper" but to your point, that isn't really true.
If he was in top 10 of NFL QBs his salary was not commensurate with his performance or value.
I think you're right though they will do something even if it isn't a long term deal to show some thanks and goodwill for the potential longer deal to come.
It would suck to have a QB play top 10 for you for two years and learn your system. Then have another city come along and pitch him on playing time system, etc... and you're back to the draft or re-upping with EJ. But thats the Bill, wouldn't shock me.
Alabama doesn't have Powerball which is why Derrick Henry is declaring for the NFL Draft today.

# | OT: New Flexible Football Helmet design to mitigate concussions A really interesting article shows that repairing the damage done to the brain due to these concussive hits might be on the horizon:
Science Translational Medicine
Here is an article that summarize the article for those without access:
Science Alert Article
The reason why it might help with repairing the damage due to concussions is that this technique, if it is proven to work in humans, is that the neurotoxic amyloid plaques are found in people who suffer concussions. Its not a sure thing, but the research may prove promising.
You make him out to be a second tier starter lucky not to be holding a clipboard. He finished in the top 10 NFL QBs (#7 I think) in one of the more relevant QB overall ratings.
So you want a #7 to play for chump change this year. Play another year for chump change.
And then you'll pay him?
See any problems with this strategy?
The car bumper analogy doesn't really fit. Car bumpers (and other parts for that matter) are designed to "crumple" and absorb energy by plastically deforming. This means that the material cannot return to it's original shape and in the process dissipates energy. Think about if you backed into a tree at 5 mph. Your bumper would be dented even at the lowest impact speed. This helmet on the other hand is designed to return to it's original shape, thus it returns energy into the system. Therefore, the car bumper analogy doesn't work.

Here's hoping he is a beast his senior year!

# | OT: New Flexible Football Helmet design to mitigate concussions Helmet looks cool and I'm sure it will help with certain types of head trauma, but it still doesn't solve the basic problem of concussions, i.e. in stopping the brain from moving in the direction of motion and hitting the inside of the skull. I'm not a brain expert, on any level, but from my reading on the subject matter this appears to be the main causes of concussions. The player's skulls are not being fractured or even bruised, but the movement of the brain, due to momentum, continues to move until it hits the inside of the skull. This sometimes causes bruising of the brain depending on the velocity of the hit, but more insidious is when the damage is caused to the neurons themselves that make-up the brain. The connecting between neurons can be snapped and if enough connections are snapped between neurons over time, dementia occurs.
Hold your horses on the "safety" aspect of the helmet. This hasn't been tested at NOCSAE yet. It first needs to meet their minimum standard and then it can be compared against existing helmets.
Eh, Jim wasn't exactly a peach in his youth either. He was pissed that he was draft by the Bills and ended up going to Houston of the USFL instead. If the USFL never folded then I doubt he would've ever played for the Bills.
"Dibs!"

Malcolm has been playing so well overseas. I'm actually quite surprised that Jarell and Erick got shots in the NBA before him. You would think one of these teams would give him a shot.
Former Wizards Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton are in this game too.
Who would have thought we would even have this may ACC win for the entire season. Buzz has them motivated and moving in the right direction.
Assuming they can get past the NOCSAE helmet standard, then VT would test their helmet regardless of if they "planned" for VT to test it or not. Virginia Tech buys helmets that are on the shelves and approved for use in the sport regardless of if the manufacturer agrees with the testing methods.
It makes me sad to know that Swag Kelly is Jim's son. As a Bills fan I always appreciated what Jim did for the team. To know his son turned out to be an entitled A-Hole sucks.
Or dead because that happens too.
Oh, you babies. I saw Allan Bristow fight Larry Bird.
His team is in the same group as Jamon Gordon's team, so they will play each other twice this winter. #GoHokies!

# | Justin Fuente's New Staff Offers 2016 Prospects, Sets Visits with Signing Day Rapidly Approaching How many turnovers did Durr created in that highlight package? Kid is fantastic at getting through the trash to make a solid tackle. Kid looks like Kyshoen Jarrett on defense and Alonzo Tweedy on special teams. Just a human missile with a nose for the ball.
Love the user name
