Rayguns 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Auburn has been a leader for years with proper helmet fitting. Notice how often you remember Auburn players losing helmets during games vs other teams.

Watasha 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Auburn has been a leader for years with proper helmet fitting. Notice how often you remember Auburn players losing helmets during games vs other teams. I remember Ben Tate losing his lid about 4 times a game...every game.

tigerfangs 269 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Very important for safety, but this year if the top pops the player sits a play.

Equipment room manager throws me a helmet - "NEXT, yea you jockstrap!" THAT's how we use to do it!! Lmao... That's so funny to me. Its funny but its true... My helmet was 2 sizes to big. When I said something and got a new one, It was a size too small. But i liked the tighter fit better then too loose.

AU64 10,122 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Maybe it was the editing but looked like the kids were taking the process seriously. I expect that the NFL concern about concussions has caused the college players to pay attention to the guidance they are getting from the coaching staff. Glad to see AU getting some notariety about doing the right things.

oxford tiger12 0 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just a side note, but I read an article a couple of weeks ago that indicated Auburn was renovating the equipment room. I assume that video was shot before the work started. I know they have already done a lot of renovations to other areas since Chizik took over as coach Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122372-vid-from-schutt-sports-auburn-helmet-fittings/#findComment-1588234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBiker77 10 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Very interesting. It also made me think about that helmet fit is something that is checked at least on an annual basis since players continue to grow while at AU.

weagle110 0 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yeah over the last 5 years or so it has turned into an epidemic, players losing helmets. But it has nothing to do with how they fit, the players nowadays want to have their faces on tv more so they dont buckle the chin starps enough... Both with snaps and how tight the straps actually are... Its ridiculous.
