    The Colts currently have the sixth-most sacks on the season with 36. The Baltimore Ravens are comfortably at No. 1 with 47, but top three is definitely in reach for Indianapolis. Currently, the Miami Dolphins are third with 38 sacks on the year, just two more than Indianapolis.

     

    As the Colts push for the playoffs, the pass rush will need to remain a factor. It’s not a coincidence that Indianapolis is riding a three-game winning streak at the same time the pass rush is dominating; the two are connected. In order to win in this league, especially late in the season, you have to be able to get after the quarterback. Indy is doing a good job of that right now

    Given that both NASCAR and Indy Car through independent studies over twenty years ago discovered that the added weight of a helmet can increase the violence of a whiplash and that was a cause of a majority of their concussions, im wondering if this motion also is a factor in the NFL. We often see the whiplash motion of the head and neck during violent tackles. Furthermore if it is, why league couldn’t develop some sort of neck/head support to prevent it that doesn’t interfere with the motion needed to play? 
     

     

     

    Bill Simpson (Simpson racing and a leader of safety technology) used to come to Colts games all the time because he was good friends with Tom Moore. We would go out after games and hang with Tom and Bill (Bill sat in the row in front of us) and he was always trying to come up with stuff for helmets and trying to make the game more safe for players. That man had some amazing stories!

    Sometimes the padding isn’t able to reduce the concussion. Some concussions happen from the whip lash of the neck vs the head. Happened to me in a roll over

     

    AR definitely needs that as well if that's the case

    If you look at the all 22 Pierce is open a ton. Minshew is just not throwing it to him.

     

    Because he'll drop it if you throw right to him

     

    He's Pierre Garcon. 

     

    You need to throw 5 yards away from him, then he'll make some acrobatic catch.
