the helmet cam is cool

I wonder how realistic these days to have a camera on the lip of the helmet that looks at the eyes and where they track

So have we seen any full contact tackling drills yet? Tackling is a physics problem not too dissimilar to military air defense. Interception in an evasive action environment in a manner which allows the target to be wrapped up with force and brought down. I am dubious of arguments that it can be trained at less than full speed and full contact.

Have you ever read John Boyd's papers on energy/maneuverability or on the OODA loop? They are fascinating reading and your post above makes me think you probably enjoy them.

Just posted this in the Mora has changed thread. He is usually always shown in these clips making some kinda motivating comment or compliment. Not a single shot of him, or any staff IIRC.

Why can’t we make throws so that WRs can catch balls in stride?

Because he's on the run to his weak side and throwing it probably 30+ yards off balance? A perfect dart under those circumstances would be Mahomes like.
