Dannyc58 : 6/12/2012 2:00 pm

AMAZING.

BEST HELMET OF ALL TIMES

Wow

Sneakers O'toole : 6/12/2012 2:01 pm : link

haha

no, seriously most awesome helmet ever

Adam XLII : 6/12/2012 2:01 pm : link

the whole defense and OL shoudl wear it.

that's sick

Ricky Jackson begs to differ

Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 6/12/2012 2:02 pm : link

Elite Mob is gonna

Blue Baller : 6/12/2012 2:03 pm : link

freak out

No cheap OL will be able to grab that

Adam XLII : 6/12/2012 2:03 pm : link

and pull his giant neck around. injury preventer too!

Horrible

Joey in VA : 6/12/2012 2:03 pm : link

What's next, chain mail and a lance?

elite mob might blow his load

Adam XLII : 6/12/2012 2:04 pm : link

like this

BoldRuler : 6/12/2012 2:06 pm : link

Might have something to do with dirty OL play

BigBluDawg : 6/12/2012 2:08 pm : link

Which was a complaint of his last year, Players grabbing at his face mask and aggravating his injuries.

Is Tuck's helmet the 'Silence of the Lambs' model?

Marty in Albany : 6/12/2012 2:09 pm : link

;-)

He should

Joey in VA : 6/12/2012 2:09 pm : link

Just wear a fishbowl with a tiny breathing hole punched into it.

Wow,

Dave in Hoboken : 6/12/2012 2:09 pm : link

and people used to think Canty's helmet was odd.

BigBluDawg

Sneakers O'toole : 6/12/2012 2:10 pm : link

hit the nail on the head.

What does that think weigh?

old timer : 6/12/2012 2:10 pm : link

Good grief.

If someone gets their finger caught in the mask, Tuck can shear it off by turning his head.

Joey,

Adam XLII : 6/12/2012 2:11 pm : link

why does this helmet bother you?

Wow that is indeed a gladiator type of helmet

Mason : 6/12/2012 2:11 pm : link

...

no eye protection at all?

SDGiant : 6/12/2012 2:11 pm : link

I guess it deals with his biggest issue, but getting poked in the eye is no great shakes either.

That won't weigh much

Sneakers O'toole : 6/12/2012 2:11 pm : link

Perfect for Tuck.

You've been around this place enough to know that I hate everything. I am Grouchy Smurf, there is no reason why, the hate just lives in me and comes flying out when people fawn over something.

I hate most things too

Adam XLII : 6/12/2012 2:19 pm : link

BUT I LOVE TUCKS NEW MASK

I wish I could finally see this helmet in a NFL game

Mason : 6/12/2012 2:20 pm : link

I'm a minimalist

Joey in VA : 6/12/2012 2:21 pm : link

I've tried Nihilism but it didn't work for me. Too many bars, too too many.

Haha.. awesome.

arcarsenal : 6/12/2012 2:22 pm : link

I love those types of facemasks

illmatic : 6/12/2012 2:22 pm : link

I'm surprised to hear that some people don't. It looks awesome and it protects better.

An entire defense using facemasks like that would look bad ass.

I don't really care one way or the other

Sneakers O'toole : 6/12/2012 2:24 pm : link

Players should wear whatever they feel works best for them.

I really don't like that facemask at all

Jints in Carolina : 6/12/2012 2:30 pm : link

Looks like lattice to me

Jints in Carolina : 6/12/2012 2:31 pm : link

I'm with Joey

dorgan : 6/12/2012 2:31 pm : link

I hate Randy too.

slap a dark visor on there

redbeard : 6/12/2012 2:32 pm : link

and Justin will look like a flippin' cyborg

Reminds me of a lobster trap

Get Prince one of these. HIs play will improve 10 fold.

count me in as a "hell yeah!" vote

Greg from LI : 6/12/2012 2:39 pm : link

Looks evil

Maybe the reason for his chronic neck injury

mikey19107 : 6/12/2012 2:39 pm : link

is because his facemask gets heavier every year.

put me in the minority on this one

FETS : 6/12/2012 2:41 pm : link

I think it is awful

Looks like he getting ready to go fight the Ninja Turtles

Motley Blue : 6/12/2012 2:42 pm : link

Well, you could still grab that thing

81_Great_Dane : 6/12/2012 2:43 pm : link

but there's a good chance your finger would get torn off. So I guess it makes sense.

Wonder how much it limits his vision?

micky : 6/12/2012 2:44 pm : link

FYI...

JosephSkiba : 6/12/2012 2:44 pm : link

The facemask is titanium...light as a feather...

Tuck's been watching a lot of Spartacus, obviously

10to80for6 : 6/12/2012 2:45 pm : link

Hope he doesn't need

Pitt G-man Dan : 6/12/2012 2:45 pm : link

to spit much.

these guys think he's a pussy

the_fridge : 6/12/2012 2:45 pm : link

When did Tuck start playing goalie?

BlackLight : 6/12/2012 2:46 pm : link

He's really throwing down the gauntlet.

Mad Mike : 6/12/2012 2:48 pm : link

Canty must be on phone with the helmet designers right now, formulating an appropriate response.

Is the idea with the angle of the bars

Enoch : 6/12/2012 2:52 pm : link

that a lateral pull will tend to direct the facemask down into the shoulder pads and prevent further neck rotation?

Besides appearances, that's my best guess.

Joe,

dorgan : 6/12/2012 2:53 pm : link

there must be a significant price difference if that is titanium. Got a percentage on the difference?

I hope Canty does it too.

Tuck's next submitted design to Skiba....

I didn't know Tuck was Russian.

Love the Joey.....

Stu : 6/12/2012 3:28 pm : link

Holy cow...

Pete in CO : 6/12/2012 4:02 pm : link

I pity the OL to get his finger stuck in that grille...

that'll learn 'im.

He should come out with this beauty.

Geomon : 6/12/2012 4:25 pm : link

And yes that's a legit facemask from way back. That would scare the shit out of me if I saw that on the field.

Is there any way

Semipro Lineman : 6/12/2012 4:45 pm : link

for the public to buy a facemask like that or are they only available as custom made orders? I know a lot of guys who would love to upgrade their facemasks to something like this?

Rob_MTL : 6/12/2012 4:54 pm : link

He should just try to go with the Master Shredder look

Thank you Mad Mike

thank you

The center line

Nick in LA : 6/12/2012 9:29 pm : link

On the bottom is slightly off the center line of the top, pass.

Tuck

Torn Tendon : 6/12/2012 9:33 pm : link

Will end up snapping some lineman that gets his fingers stuck in that mask. Hopefully the refs will see a hold on that grill.

It's funny.. I feel like his facemasks are a challenge.

arcarsenal : 6/12/2012 9:41 pm : link

It's like "alright.. let's see you get a fuckin' hold of THIS one".

It'd be cool if the enire DLine got that facemask.

Dave in Hoboken : 6/12/2012 9:45 pm : link

That would be quite a sight and pretty darn intimidating.

Are you not entertained

giantsfan227B : 6/12/2012 9:51 pm : link

great

GeneInOC : 6/12/2012 9:52 pm : link

you know he's going to miss a few weeks for low blood-oxygen levels.

actually looks VERY cool with the blue visor

darasman : 6/12/2012 10:39 pm : link

I am not into the whole fascination with player's facemasks, but this is pretty cool....

If he wears a visor with that facemask

Dave in Hoboken : 6/12/2012 10:41 pm : link

which I imagine he would, no one is going to get their fingers in there or pull on the facemask. It'll give him complete protection against shit like that.

I wouldn't even try.

arcarsenal : 6/12/2012 10:51 pm : link

Someone's finger is going get caught in there and snap.

I doubt any NFL players

halfback20 : 6/12/2012 11:03 pm : link

fingers will fit in that facemask lol

There's a few spots on the sides...

arcarsenal : 6/12/2012 11:08 pm : link

..where a pinky or index finger could get caught. Who knows. No one's going to get a good grasp of it, though.. that's for sure.

Unless he has migraines

Lionhart28 : 6/13/2012 11:19 am : link

or eye problems, won't he have to wear a clear visor with that?

The Hannibal

NJGiantFan84 : 6/13/2012 11:21 am : link

Lecter mask has been even more Cannibalized.

Looks like a Hockey goalie's mask.

mjt832 : 6/13/2012 12:54 pm : link

needs a metallic visor under there.

Darasman .. I don't know how I missed that.

mjt832 : 6/14/2012 1:51 am : link

very cool with the visor. Looks almost Darth Vader-ish. TC should make the entire DL wear that combo. Can you imagine all these Big Blue "Robots" coming at you with no eyes (as an opposing QB)?

How is he

RETUSAF : 6/14/2012 3:42 am : link

going to find a fumble when he looks down?

funny thing is

NNJ Tom : 6/14/2012 8:07 am : link

even with all those extra bars, the face mask doesn't extend very low. He is still open to shots to the jaw. That doesn't look any larger than a standard cage.

Seriously...

Midn_Chae : 6/14/2012 8:11 am : link

WTF is Elitemob? We really need his reaction to this new war-mask. This has been up for two days, and he's a no show.
