Covid Thread - NFL Impacts

Recommended Posts


NFL was forced to adapt during coronavirus pandemic, and some changes could stick
 

"The quality of play this year from the start — for the most part, you wouldn't have known the difference," former New York Giants vice president of player personnel Marc Ross, now an NFL Network analyst, told USA TODAY Sports. "The quality of play was still high."
 

That was likely due in part to the increased roster flexibility the league granted all 32 teams in 2020. Clubs could carry up to 16 practice squad players including, for the first time, veterans (up to six) who had more than two accrued seasons of service in the NFL. An unlimited number of players could also be recalled from injured reserve after spending three weeks on the list. (Normally, a team can only designate two players to return from IR and only after he's missed at least eight games.)

Preseason, for instance, will likely return, though the new collective bargaining agreement will shorten it to three games while limiting joint practices. Still, those tend to be important forums for unproven players trying to make a roster.

I really like the 3-week IR with unlimited returns. Let the players who can't go heal up and come back, without having to lose half or all of the season.

I want both Marsha and Mahomes to be placed on the COVID list.

 

Give me Henne vs. Gabbert and I'll watch

We might even get to see the Right Josh in mop up duty in garbage time. That would thrill the knuckle draggers ATOP

Can't happen.  He finished the season on the 49ers 🙂

That won’t stop Goddell and the refs if that’s what they think the fans want.
