Ok things are getting heavy around here with the PED stuff and the loss. But aside from the sprinkler business, another funny thing from yesterday's game was Breno's helmet. It was COMICALLY small. I saw it before the announcers did.
Any idea what's going on here? Does the dude just have massive head? It looked like he grabbed Tate's helmet by accident or something.

He has a really long neck, which I noticed a few weeks ago. I think that's part of the issue. I also think he has a small facemask that makes his helmet look smaller. It might be to help his peripheral vision. I can't see him getting away with a helmet with reduced sized padding in it. I know of guys that did it in order to get a smaller helmet, but that was back in the days when helmets were lined with spongy foam and you could shave it down with a razor to make the helmet fit your head more perfectly so it wasn't popping off. You'd just go a size smaller and shave the lining down. I think he'd get busted for doing that, since it is impossible, unless he's got an air helmet and has totally removed the bladder and shaved the foam it is encased in (the air bladder that fits on your head and is pumped to a certain tightness can be taken out and replaced as they sometimes pop/lose air consistently). The air bladder part fits right on your head like a an old style leather and padding bicycle helmet does.
I think he just has a long Merton Hanks neck (some people have 2 or even 3 extra cervical vertebrae believe it or not), and then with a small facemask and the small shoulder pads he wears then his helmet looks kind of funky. I am 90% sure that's what it is. Long neck, small mask, small shoulder pads (for less to grab on to, which is great for a tackle).

It's so small I wonder if it even provides any protection to his head. Perhaps that's why he's had so many bonehead plays.

I've noticed this pretty much every time I've seen him for awhile now. I'm guessing nobody brought it up before, because it was never mentioned on air?

I always thought the same about Brian Urlacher. Maybe it is the shape of a guy's head or they truly have a smaller helmet.

He's got a tiny forehead and his top of his scalp is about even with his eyebrows. Haha. _________________ R.I.P. Dad. I miss you. You will never be forgotten 1/12/39 - 8/7/08

Since Canhawk crowned me .NET helmet guru, my contribution to this thread is that he has a chinstrap in the cooler but more common high hookup configuration, instead of the uglier but more rare lowhookup configuration. the main difference is that the wearer of the high hookup can maintain his coolness when the helmet is unsnapped. It seems to be a Ridell REVO speed helmet from this angle, im not sure though.
