The concussion talk has died

How about going back to leather helmets. You probably wouldn’t see defenders leading with their head. The no face mask thing might be problematic. My dad tells a story how a teammate lost an eye blocking a punt. They were coached to cross their arms when blocking kicks.

I think you might see a running clock in the future.

With teams now running 75+ plays per game it's basically DOUBLED the amount of impact hits per game in less than a generation; that's the 'trade off' to passer friendly football.

But a running clock would likely bring that # of plays down to 1990 levels, where you had 35-40 plays total.

They will always have helmets. Maybe plexiglass face shield like lingerie football. Actually they are going to play lingerie football.

Yes, basically already there. All you really have to do is take down the pads and teach guys to tackle.
