Maybe Bunch and Masker weren't even dressed out. I don't think there is a limit for home games. Travel rosters have a limit of 74 for visiting teams in conference games. 2 Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 It would've been smarter to put Bunch in, but it would take extremely unlikely circumstances for it to matter much. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 All I know is I was damn frustrated when Vedral’s helmet came off on the friggen first play in the game.....and we needed him. it didn’t even look like a hard hit. Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 i don't get the loose helmet thing - maybe it protects the neck. 5 years ago helmets never come off - now it happens often. Quote Link to comment

That's why they made the rule. Modern helmets have a slot in the ear pad to allow your ear to slide through easier. That may be why they pop off more. Gone are the days of sore ears and stretching the helmet around you head to spare your ears. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

These guys dont want to be uncomfortable. If you can take your helmet off with one hand it doesn't fit correctly. Some of these guys have bigger helmets so they can fit their hair in there Quote Link to comment

Some of these guys have bigger helmets so they can fit their hair in there In high school, we had to cut our hair short before they fit the helmets. Obviously not a thing in college or the pros, but I bet it'd help helmets stay on at a minimum. Quote Link to comment
