Helmet Rule...


Sep 3, 2012, 1:12 PM

Clemson needs to get a replay of the Auburn players wrenching Boyd's helmet and send it to the NCAA. The players who did it should have to sit a game and we should include a note that say unless this rule is changed, if one our players gets hurt because of the moronic, ill conceived rule, we are going to sue the #### out of them.

Total BS rule that is not only a competitive disadvantage, but put a reward on dirty play.

"Excuse me? I don't go down to your work and tell you how to flip the burger!"


It is an ok rule


Sep 3, 2012, 1:14 PM

it just needs tweaking. I noticed a lot less helmets coming off in general over the first week.

Re: It is an ok rule- but oddly


Sep 3, 2012, 1:15 PM

one that I saw the guy got hit in the head after he lost his and looked like he sustained a concussion

Reviewing the play to see if it was a penalty isn't going to

do much good for the first kid that gets his neck broken. Then they will suddenly "see the light" and realize the rule "endangers" players.

Helmets popping off like they were at times


Sep 3, 2012, 1:27 PM

endangers kids too. Something had to change and this is what we have. They will change part of the rule to fix the helmet ripping off (probably a "point of emphasis"). I think we can agree that the rule wouldn't be here if 1. helmets hadn't been coming off as much and 2. 1000+ players were not suing the NFL about head injuries.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I hardly ever saw


Sep 3, 2012, 2:34 PM

more than 1 or 2 helmets coming off per game last year. Better rule would be for ref to flag a player if play starts without his helmet strap on. Wouldn't catch all, but would be far less dangerous.

I noticed that the Auburn QB had a much more secure looking chin strap than what our helmets had. Brand difference?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Exactly. I mean, only a fool would WANT his helmet to come


Sep 3, 2012, 5:41 PM [ in reply to Reviewing the play to see if it was a penalty isn't going to ]

off during the play!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This rule has created more chances for injury than not


Sep 3, 2012, 3:06 PM [ in reply to It is an ok rule ]

having the rule every did. Dirty teams can exploit the rule to get star players off the field at crucial times.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And that is an unintended consequence


Sep 3, 2012, 4:44 PM

Give it more than 1 week to see how the rule is. Coaches will be on the refs about twisting and pulling

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Rule needs to be removed....only going to see the ripping off of helmets more and more


Sep 3, 2012, 1:18 PM

I think players keep their helmets loose...cause it hurts like hell when they r ripped off.....some nasty #### players out there

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Helmet Rule...


Sep 3, 2012, 1:18 PM

I totally agree with you!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Here is an easy fix


Sep 3, 2012, 2:01 PM

Enforce existing rules for facemask, unnecessary roughness, etc. Also, the defensive player flagged has to sit out the next play.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Here is an easy fix


Sep 3, 2012, 3:00 PM

I think it would be a good idea for the facemask rule to be extended to the entire helmet.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Automatic ejection for the ones like I saw on Tajh


Sep 3, 2012, 3:42 PM [ in reply to Here is an easy fix ]

this week.They were putting him in a headlock and twisting the helmet off. Fifteen yards and sitting out a play is not enough for that.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Agree^^^


Sep 3, 2012, 2:06 PM

I noticed it on several occasions myself and was disgusted with the lack of a call of unsportsmanlike or personal foul!!! It was a well officiated game except for those calls, or lack of calls I should say. I am sure the tape will be reviewed by league officials with the SEC, ACC, and NCAA but I'm sure nothing will come of it, unfortunately!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Nothing a screwdriver wouldn't fix - we just need to put on


Sep 3, 2012, 2:23 PM

the helmet at the beginning of the game - do away with chinstrap snaps and put screws right into the helmet.


One of the worst rules ever!!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Just screw them into the scalp? ;-)***


Sep 3, 2012, 2:35 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Worst rule ever....


Sep 3, 2012, 2:51 PM

It was obvious with the number of times Tajh "lost" his helmet, it was being ripped off, and of course, not a single warning or call from the ref's.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The rule sucks, I saw much more helmets coming off


Sep 3, 2012, 2:52 PM

in our game and the syracuse game. Somewhere like 4 or 5. The helmets need to have the strapping system re-engineered. Slapping someone on the wrist when the helmet fails doesn't help the problem but unintentionally ads the issue of the D playing dirty.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's as stupid and useless as the old Halo rule


Sep 3, 2012, 2:57 PM

for kickoffs and punts.

Just like that aforementioned rule, the helmet rule and the new kickoff rules will be gone soon because they hurt the brand and water down the game.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The tighter the more secure....the more it could injure a player when they rip it off***


Sep 3, 2012, 5:48 PM

Re: Helmet Rule...


Sep 3, 2012, 5:52 PM

Some poster said there was a penalty for ripping off a helmet. Other than unsportsmanlike conduct what is it. Is there a specific penalty?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

in other words....good idea, needs some work!***


Sep 3, 2012, 6:03 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No this is a safety issue and needs to be corrected before next weeks games


Sep 3, 2012, 6:08 PM

Ncaa needs to jump on it....oh yeah they probably won't do anything with it....would take them several months to a year

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Helmet Rule...


Sep 3, 2012, 6:30 PM

I know I mean Tajh's helmet didnt come off 3 times all of last season then 3 times in one game. Once after the super tightened it and it about pulled his eye brows off when they tore it off his head.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Helmet Rule...


Sep 3, 2012, 6:31 PM

I don't think more helmets were detached from their owners more than last year, I just think it was highlighted more with the new rule.
