Aren't players taught to watch the guys hips anyways?

What a stupid theory. The visor gives absolutely no advantage.

Maybe if QBs were allowed to wear dark visors.

Then I can see a valid arguement.

What about AI ?

:lmao:

No, A.I. is the man.

I blame the Sixers for never putting more stars around him to help out.

It's going to be very, very weird seeing him in a nuggets jersey.

It's an image thing, the NFL is very particular about how the players look:

The NFL this year banned helmet visors unless prescribed by a physician. Players wearing them resemble Darth Vader.

"They tend to depersonalize the game," Hunt said.

"More than anything, it's for photographs and TV. All you can see is the black visor. You can't even see the person's eyes. It's distracting."

Arizona Cardinals tackle Lomas Brown, without permission, wore a tinted visor last month in St. Louis and was sent off the field in the first quarter. He had to show referee Bernie Kukar a note from team doctor Wayne Kuhl, confirming the visor was to protect Brown's eyes.

"I couldn't believe I had to get a note from the doctor," Brown said.

"They have more rules in this league. What's next?"

He also NEVER tipped when him and his possy would play 3-card poker in Atlantic City.

I know several dealers and waitresses that have said this.

Him and Chris Webber showed up late to the game and they were benched.

I don't care, because he did more good then bad.

Not being a homer, well maybe a little, but I wouldnt mind LaMar Woodley either.

It's like BP himself bred them from birth some 20 years ago to play for a 3-4 defensive team that he would eventually coach in 2007-

IMO, Woodley is ready to make more of an immediate contribution his first couple of years but Alan Branch may have the most 'upside' of the both.

Either way, I'm sure that both of these guys are on BP's radar screen. Branch, that huge NT who comands 2-3 blockers and still pushes the pocket and/or Woodley who can rush from a 2 or 3 point stance and blow up plays in the backfield as if he were a Demolition SEAL.

Both fit this defense like Saville row suits :cool:

D-backs and LBs watches a QB's eyes all the time and create turnovers in doing so.

If QBs started wearing them would it be an advantage for them?

I didn't say QB's I was talking specificallty about LT. And actually Jim McMahon wore one and still threw a lot of INT's I would hate to see how many he would have thrown with a regular helmet.

I knew you were talking about LT I was just asking others how they felt about QBs wearing them.

Jim McMahon made me laugh.

Nice comment.

I think Robo QB was the only QB to wear one. I think it has to do with possible sight issues especially in rain and snow.

Vick goes clear (Probably cause he runs as much as he does).

Cant think of any others.
