Remedial question: What caused the change


Oct 9, 2017, 11:18 AM

in the size of shoulder pads? In the Ford era they were huge, especially linemen and linebackers, but even many running backs. Now even linemen seem to have a thin shell under the jersey. Was it a technology change, or did players just start to figure they didn't need those huge pads?

Probably better technology...

they figured out a way for the thinner pads to last for four periods.

I guess the next step is insertable pads. Would be almost unnoticeable

Except for the string flapping in the wind to remove them after the game.
