Nice news..

Sheehan said D Payne was fined for not wearing a mask in clubhouse/lockerroom area

Will be interesting to see after cuts where the numbers/% will be. That’s where it matters

This is a good point that frankly I hadn't considered. I think if anything it will be worse once we get down to 53, meaning the guys who are still unvaccinated as of today are probably the ones who feel comfortable that they'll make the 53.

Despite what Ron says, if I'm a bottom of the roster guy and I'm scrapping and clawing to try to make the 53 or the practice squad, I'm not going to give them a reason to cut me and I'll go get vaccinated.

But if I make $4M and I'm definitely on the 53 no matter what, I might be more inclined to stand on my personal principles.

Does anyone know whether the practice squad is counted once the season begins?

84% of 90 would be 14 players unvaccinated. If all 14 are on the 53, which does make sense like Schneed points out here, then we are at about 73.6%. But if practice squad counts we are at 79.7% or 4 more players vaxxed to meet the 85%.

Great question I assume it counts, because they're in your building.

Good math, agree that if it counts, and if all the unvaccinated are making either the team or the practice squad, then they'd need 4 more to get to the 85%.

Nice…..that is good news.

Just stopped in to see if there was any good discussions going on in the forums.

Foolishly opened this one first.

Funny tweet by Thom Loverro:

"You know, if a doctor showed up at the park, opened his trunk and told them I’ve got syringes filled with iguana piss that will make you faster and stronger and it’s undetectable, there would be a line through the parking lot #WashingtonFootball #NFL"

Where's the lie though ?

Another Covid issue is the international games. The teams playing outside the US are going to have to have their ducks in a row, and players will have to be vaccinated to travel to England. My mom just got told she couldn't get on a plane to come back to the US because she needed an updated test result. ( she is vaccinated and was only in Germany for 3 weeks)

What a mess that could be.

I guess the NFL could get adapted protocols (like allowed to go in and out of the UK but full bubble style no going out during the trip), the same way Japan adapted the rules for athletes and people working for the Olympics.

Really surprised nobody here is discussing Ron's latest response to the vaccine deniers on this squad.

It's from the latest MMQB, where you can read a big interview with coach here:

If you are an NFL you just have to get vaccinated. Period.

I'm not sure what a "vaccine denier" is, but I think he's referring to individuals who are disseminating or circulating false or uncorroborated information about the vaccine. I don't think he's referring to individuals who are hesitant to get it, those who do not want to get it, or those who are advised not to get it - for various reasons.
