This is a picture from a Bears practice this week, is it common across the league for the linemen to wear these in practice?

if helmets were designed with those things in mind it could look like cool rock shell stuff. could also put them on the shoulders and on big gauntlets. everyone would be havel the rock. bigger is cooler

I wonder what the breakdown looks like for % of snaps taken in practice vs. % of snaps taken in live games. If the helmet padding in any meaningful way reduces subconcussive impacts that could be very beneficial for linemen going forward.

He's not in a no-win situation where he's got to submarine the OT to save the play. His job is to turn the run back inside for the pursuit to clean up, he could have beat the OT to the sidelines and forced the ballcarrier to cut inside the OT(and back into the pursuit). Even if he squares up and gets turned into a speed bump for the OT he's probably forcing the cut inside at less than full speed and #42 is making the tackle.The safeties intent was to plausibly make the tackle himself, but "intent" is a lovely and inherently subjective way to interpret rules and is going to cause more problems than it's worth. You didn't suddenly open the flood gates for toss plays being free real estate that any slap-dick team is going to get 5-10 yards a pop on because it isn't fair. You weren't eating up the league when you could take out the knees or earhole guys on crackback blocks. Maybe it isn't entirely fair when you've got like, Trent Williams to pull- but that's footbaw baby.

blarzgh posted:Like, y'all actually think there is some other reason they're making that block illegal? For what it's worth the NCAA--doubt the source but they're usually more hardcore on these things---did a study and found the dangerous stuff mostly happened downfield. So they banned offensive and defensive low blocks if they were more than 5 yards from the line of scrimmage rather than outside the tackle box. I think it's fine to make that illegal, I have also been thinking for like 20 years that cut blocks anywhere should be illegal is all. Yeah it'd kill the modern run game but...well people would figure out ways to adapt.

The problem isn't the new rule its the enforcement. The reason its only disallowed around the tacklebox is because players get injured in the wash, in the open field its a lot less of a risk to get all caught up thats what an athletic article said anyway.

Doltos posted:In no way in any possibility will a 190 lbs DB make a ball carrier cut inside an OT without a cut block. If he's got outside leverage on the ball-carrier and he's got that outside arm free, he's doing his job as a force defender. He's responsible for filling the gap outside of the OT, however it goes. He was already in that position before he dives. Most DB vs. OL interactions don't end up like a Looney Tunes bit with the DB on the sidelines looking out the earhole on his helmet asking which way to Albuquerque or whatever, or for that matter even end up with the DB on the ground. Considering the play in question doesn't even seem to involve the DB making contact with the RB, but rather the RB getting tripped up trying to evade a pile of bodies- I don't think even if the DB gets owned it's going to be a problem, the pile of bodies is going to slow it down for the pursuit either way.

Five of the six flags planted are still there and can be seen, butt the only thing that can be made out is their shadows. They've longsince lost any color. The sixth (actually first) flag isn't visible because it was knocked over when the lander took off.

It would have all been buried beneath all the players running around doing coke in the 80s and early 90s. Like, imagine peak Lawrence Taylor or the early 90s Cowboys having social media while they buying U-Hauls full of drugs and hookers. pasaluki posted:The Bills have them too they are called "Guardian Helmets" A few other players wore that too, notably Steve Wallace with the 49ers when they won their last Super Bowl in ‘94.

Being a force defender means engaging the block or putting your body in position to get blocked. He has a huge OT in front of him, OTs can move now, that play happens constantly in the NFL, people will get plastered.
