Over the past several years Patrick Roy Jersey , Steelers players have developed a habit of complaining about the league’s efforts to make the game safer. When it comes to the new rule that prohibits lowering the helmet to initiate contact, a pair of Steelers players welcome the change.
Offensive lineman Ramon Foster (pictured) likes the new rule, in part because each of his four concussions occurred when a defender used his helmet to hit Foster in the helmet.
鈥淓very time has been a D-lineman or a linebacker head first,鈥?Foster said, via Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.聽鈥淟ast year when we played the Patriots, 52 [linebacker Elandon Roberts], the same thing, head first. He鈥檚 a heady guy. I hate heady guys.鈥?/p>
So Foster welcomes the new rule with open arms, and non-lowered helmet.
鈥淚鈥檓 not opposed http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/kendall-wright-jersey , not even a little bit,鈥?Foster said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 because I know what the safety of the game is, and if I can pull my head out of the situation 鈥斅爉eaning my helmet 鈥?then I will do that. If they鈥檙e trying to protect it, I鈥檓 not going to fight that.鈥?/p>
Safety Morgan Burnett also likes the rule change, even though past Steelers safeties like Ryan Clark and Mike Mitchell were at the forefront of complaining about safety rules.
鈥淵ou can tell that the league is taking control of player safety, and that鈥檚 really big for players,鈥?Burnett said. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 want to see any guy get hurt or have any effects from this game once they leave the game. So I think that鈥檚 real big and very important, to make player safety first.鈥?/p>
While it’s possible other Steelers don’t feel quite that way, the fact that any Steelers are willing to speak out so clearly and strongly in support of safety is both encouraging and surprising. And as long as the new helmet rule doesn’t fundamentally change the game Peyton Manning Jersey , that’s a good thing for everyone.
DENVER BRONCOS (5-11)
OPEN CAMP: July 27, Englewood, Colorado
LAST YEAR: Coach Vance Joseph’s first year was debacle in every phase. Denver’s anemic offense cycled through three QBs during soured season that included eight-game skid, franchise’s longest in half-century, and featured eight double-digit losses. Exhausted defense surrendered too many points and special teams were anything but. GM John Elway thought about firing Joseph but decided to give him second chance and then bolstered roster.
IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: QB Case Keenum, DE Bradley Chubb, RB Royce Freeman, WR Courtland Sutton, WR DeSean Hamilton Jonathan Marchessault Jersey , RT Jared Veldheer, LB Josey Jewell, CB Brock Tramaine, S Su’a Cravens, P Marquette King, part-time pass-rushing coach DeMarcus Ware.
IMPORTANT LOSSES: CB Aqib Talib, QB Trevor Siemian, RB C.J. Anderson, TE Virgil Green Wayne Gretzky Jersey , WR Cody Latimer, ILB Corey Nelson, QB Brock Osweiler, strength and conditioning coach Luke Richesson.
CAMP NEEDS: Broncos need Keenum to stay healthy first and foremost because behind him are two players who have combined four NFL starts, all by Paxton Lynch. Former first-round pick will be duking it out with 2017 seventh-rounder Chad Kelly for backup job in toned-down version of QB derby that’s been annual rite of summer in Denver since Peyton Manning retired.
EXPECTATIONS: Broncos haven’t had back-to-back losing seasons since 1971-72, and they have every intention of returning to playoffs in 2018. Having Chubb as cohort should make superstar LB Von Miller even better, and Denver’s infusion of offensive talent through draft and free agency should take some pressure off defense that’s been carrying team for three years now.
