  1. Teddy Roosevelt was the first to mess it up (politics as usual), then they kept making it worse, to make it more exciting. The game was never intended to be played with a hard shell helmet, which is now naturally used a battering ram during play. The NFL won't go back to the original game, but there would be popular interest in that if some consortium would investigate it. Restore the game of true grit.

  2. This move seems more reactive than proactive, as the Ravens have looked far less than cutting edge in terms of injury prevention and recovery. Problem is, and it's industry wide (but no excuse), stale conventional thinking has been institutionalized. Irony is, the athletes themselves are where the real knowledge lies, as they've been through it and know what works and what doesn't. The medical professionals mostly rely on their backgrounds and new scientific studies from their counterparts that want to make names and money for themselves. But most is learned from the unbiased subject (the athlete) of the real trials. In terms of what I think the Ravens are looking for, perhaps better to just survey a large population of over-30 players and learn what they have learned about how to stay in the game. Can't argue with real outcome. "61 Custom Rebuild"
