Not sure this will go well.

They can't be serious. That's some magical thinking at work.

Magical thinking is right. The "mouth shield" has holes in it.

Look further down at the diagrams.
The "holes" are filtered and offset. There are two layers with a filter in between.

Not that I think this'll work but it is more complicated than it first appears.

My concern as a player would be with efficient breathing...

It's not affixed to the face so vapor will billow out around it.

Not much different then having a visor on your motorcycle helmet, and not as bad as your team forfeiting two weeks of its schedule for a quarantine. If it's the plastic shield or no football at all, I know what I'd rather see this then a bunch of 2 to 0 games.

True, and when you're in TX in the summer and you're not actually moving on your bike it's stiflingly hot. Stop for gas and it's a race to get the helmet off. I'd totally prefer it to no football but I do wonder if we might see different or more frequent substitution patterns.
