Sephiroth Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Would be great if Gates came back at the same level he used to play at, but I know that's probably a pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to eliminate face then why not put a clear strong and flexible shield inside the iron mask leaving no space in between so fingers can’t get in?

Virginia Giant Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 But could you imagine the fog and sweat that would be on those things? Grass, dirt, etc. they’d be taking time between every play to clean them. I think it’sa good idea but it would come with hassles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 For tinted you need a medical clearance for migraines or light sensitivity. I bet it’s pretty easy to rock tinted visor if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the new plastic bro There has been clear plastic available since the '87 onward If the need is there, they are going to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a whole lot but for a QB or Receiver that fraction of an inch could be the difference between catching the ball or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Keep in mind too, how often does this happen in the NFL? It was a freak type of play. Granted introducing a helmet much akin to a hockey helmet and making it the norm wouldn't take or affect much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
