VICIS actually has an inner and outer shell with a series of columns in between. The inner shell is solid and the outer shell is kind of soft. I can actually put my fist into it and it and the knuckles sink in a little bit. Any contact with the helmet, causes the outer shell to conform to the impact point, and the columns distribute the energy so that the skull absorbs significantly less force. The Axiom from Riddell is pretty great too. It has a lot more flexible points than the speedflex, including the base of the skull. But for my money, the VICIS Zero 2 is the safest helmet I've ever worked with.

I go through ProTuff Decals. They have our information on file so re-orders are simple, and they allow me to send custom designs that they turn into decals. Yeah, every team has to apply their decals. Helmets go to their parent company (we only deal with Riddell), for reconditioning and recertification after every season. They come back freshly painted and with a certification for the current season. Helmets are only allowed to be recertified for 10 years, after which they are no longer eligible to be used. The decals are easy to apply and are actually easy to remove within the first couple days if you want to adjust the location. The adhesive really doesn't "lock on" to the helmet until about after a week. At that point, removing the decal is much more difficult, and there is no way it can be reused. Taking it off doesn't require a heat gun, just a good strong pull. Sometimes, if there are several layers of paint from older helmets, taking off the decal will remove the paint down to the original shell. It's why the head coach no longer lets me use stripes down the center. I pretty much learned through trial and error. A lot of the kids were putting the logos at all sorts of wrong angles and it looked horrible to me so I took over doing everyone's helmet. Roughly three to four per day during the summer practices.

I'm a helmet addict so this would be my dream career. I actually took a volunteer coaching job at my old high school, and now I design, order, and put on all the helmet decals.

I was amazed that was him when I saw the video of his bust reveal. Sad to see how much he deteriorated.

But Marcellus Wiley don't like to be ***** by anybody except Mrs. Wiley

I've found myself following the league less and less over the years. I'm 45 now, and the game today is just too different from the sport I fell in love with as a kid. It's kind of like if you change enough ingredients, you eventually have a whole new recipe.

It amazes me that the Steelers have only had three head coaches in the last 55 years.

Anything is better than http://www.mynfldraft.com/NFL-Mock-Draft They don't even have the Bills making a pick.

It's Russ Brandon. You didn't actually think we were going to be rid of him did you?

He does have a championship ring

Same here. at 44 I've reached a point in my life where my emotional well-being no longer hinges on the outcome of a sporting event.

Fart-loving Tooth Decay! I'll fix you!

Should've had Robocop present the helmet

Hyde was already a Captain last season. 2022 Captains Offense: Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Mitch Morse Defense: Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Von Miller, Tremaine Edmunds Special Teams: Taiwan Jones, Tyler Matakevich https://www.wivb.com/sports/buffalo-bills/bills-name-captains-for-2022-season/

Pretty sure this locks up his status as a defensive captain with the likelihood of Edmunds and Poyer departing

I'm already there. It's become next to impossible for me to tune into an NFL game and expect to see a fairly officiated contest. Look at the Bills/Dolphins game in Miami. Josh Allen had 63 pass attempts, and there wasn't a single pass interference or defensive holding call on Miami.

Can someone please compel this guy to switch to the VICIS Trench.

Every time I think of the 2010 draft and look at Torell Troup, I'm reminded that Rob Gronkowski was picked next.

I just hope that whoever buys the team runs the organization as poorly as Snyder did. In a competitive league like the NFL, we need as many inept owners as possible.

Edmunds is the second coming of Aaron Maybin

I still refer to this as "The Immaculate Deception"

Only three screws? Is this a cost saving measure or does he have to earn the fourth through his on-field performance?

I got the exact same jersey for my Corgi pup. I put it on him when I let the little guy run around on my old high school football field.

I agree that mock drafts are pretty useless outside of the top few picks, but I always like to go to http://www.mynfldraft.com/NFL-Mock-Draft. For the most part, their projections aren't very accurate, but I love the features they have where you can look at mock drafts for all four major sports as well as the archives for past drafts. If nothing else, it's a good reference point to look back on.

I could be wrong, but I think players are required to purchase the existing inventory of jerseys with the number they want to abandon. That might have factored into the decision. I remember Adrian Peterson had this problem when he wanted to switch numbers back in 2012.
