frostyj Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Is it just me or have more helmets been coming off in the last year or two(this pre-season as well)? Is this by design or by players not straping up correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm not sure what it is. Alot of the players hair has gotten bigger with the dreds and long hair like Clay Matthews. Maybe they're not getting fitted correctly by the equipment manager? I do notice that some of them have 2 straps and not all 4 buckles are snapped in. Kind of like the guys who wear the gloves but don't velcro their wrists or like when Emmitt Smith used to leave his belt undone on the pants.

Xameil Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Didn't this issue come up a few years ago. I think it was determined it was due to either hair, and/or players not strapping their helmets correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Skins Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not that I'm complaining (because it's another one of those rules that disrupt the game) but isn't there a rule out there that forces the ref to blow the play dead if a player''s helmet comes off? I'm not seeing much of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
