TPS 2019: Spends 10 minutes talking about small shoulder pads. TPS 2049: Does 3 hour episode about Brady entering his 50th season wearing a band aid in the first game
@@Lifeovdavid It's not about the penalty - it's about the SACKS. If an O-lineman gets beat by Bennett and has to grab up on his shoulder pads instead of grabbing inside on the outer edges of the chest piece of the shoulder pads like is explicitly legal technique, then it doesn't matter if he keeps a measly little 5yd holding penalty or not if he can save his QB from a sack & a bigger loss of yardage. But, Bennett's pad choice is about preventing O-linemen from grabbing ahold of him AT ALL, legally or otherwise.
The announcers said it on a game when he was on the Seahawks that he did it so his tackling technique was on point because if you tackle wrong you'll get hurt because you dont got the pads
Bodacious_jev no it’s a new technique where you crab the top of the pads and control the guys lateral motion in exchange for leverage. It’s legal holding and is the best pass rushing technique in the nfl
@@jesuschrist912 That's by no means a "new" technique - that's straight up O-line pass blocking 101, you grab each side of the chest piece of the shoulder pads to control these SIGNIFICANTLY quicker players(the athletes playing D-line/LB today vs these slower giants playing O-line). Not only has this been standard practice, but it's about the only explicitly legal form of "holding" allowed. This is also why Bennett talks about sticking his arms out, using his hands, and not cheating his technique be attempting to throw a shoulder in there or something - pass rushers need to use their hands & arms to prevent the O-lineman from getting inside on them and getting ahold of that chest rig. This is where techniques like swim moves, chopping and clearing the arms, D Lawrence's technique of grabbing ahold of the O-lineman's outside arm with both hands after he's beat them outside, and dipping his inside shoulder down to the ground, using the lineman's arm to pivot around to the backfield. The whole battle at the line of scrimmage is about who can get their hands inside first. If you aren't one of these freak athletes that can run around the edge like guys are standing still, or have an unstoppable bullrush or something, it all comes back to that hand technique, O-line and D-line.
If you ever played football you completely understand Michael Bennett and the benefit of having smaller pads and how bigger pads definitely limit your range of motions
I am a high school linemen and I can say that having small shoulder pads improves your play so much cause you get better range of motion and offense linemen can’t grab you as easy
I mean he explains why other players in the league do as well, and how wearing pads have changed over time. Does anyone have an attention span that can last longer than 10 minutes?
Lol I wore WR shoulder pads my whole football playing career as a defensive lineman. Range of motion and flexibility was key for me. When I put them on it looked like I just had my jersey on 😂 loved it though. Can’t stand bulging pads.
8:26 “Benjamin Watson in his rookie year with New Orleans” me a lifelong pats fan: um the patriots drafted him before the 2004 season and played with the patriots for quite a few years before going to Cleveland in 2011 and then the saints and then ravens before going back to the saints and coming full circle back to the pats. He was one of my favorites growing up get it right.
You can tell a difference between the people who have played, and who have not, when they make a football video. Its definitely not superstition when it comes to range of Motion for defensive and offensive linemen. Hell even the kickers would agree
Looking at old clips of Franco Harris, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Mean Joe etc etc (Steelers fan for life here). I sure seen them wearing a lot of padding and it sure looked like they were moving pretty fast and well, and kicking major butt to me….of course I was a little kid in the 70’s. Franco sure had on those hip pads when I saw him make that immaculate reception touchdown. And I don’t know what these guys are trying to look like and for who on screen….but men in big shoulder pads and form fitting little pants…..uuhhhhhhh is definitely and extremely pleasant to look at!!!!. Nowadays, they all look like they are about 20 years old, don’t get enough food and aren’t done growing all the way up yet.
You can move your arms better and higher with smaller pads which is important to wide recievers and defense backs. For d lineman, like Bennett said, he can use his arms better and ensures he used proper technique every time. Whoever made this video and said that both of those factors are “placebos” and didn’t make sense has obviously never played football
Apparently, Bennett and Eric Dickerson don't have the same outlook when it comes to how many pads you need. Amazing how Dickerson could still run so fast with all those pads.
After 10yrs he still one of few DEs rarely injured. So he's done well with having little pads. Just need to get rid of helmets to reduce concussion incidents
Listen as a linemen smaller pas not only give you a better range of movement but it makes it harder for lineman to get a grip on you small space in between you armpit and you pads
You forgot the technological advances that take place in football. This alone, answers most questions, and justifies a majority of the athletes decisions as to why they use smaller shoulder pads. The Rules of the game are completely different compared to the game of football a decade ago. This too is a large factor.
Shoulder pads aren't much of a big deal depending what position you play, I never played with a cup, thought it fucked with my mobility, even if I had a few close calls i still wouldn't use one, i honestly loved shoulder pads being a decent size I was I linebacker and spin moves worked so well with them I'd get a holding call or a really nice spin move and get the tackle right off the spin or seconds from it, honestly depends on how people feel with their shoulder pads
Less padding will actually make the game safer, if you look at rugby you don’t see head to head injuries because they tackle properly. Pads make a defender feel safer when throwing their body at the ball carriers head.
Thank god there is someone else is saying this! I have and continue to assert you view and people think I am nuts or just ignore it. You are literally the 1st person I have run across who bring this up
No cap dog!!!!!!! You said it best "no cap"!!!!!1! What a fuckin legend. What a fuckin animal love you brother fuck me brother no cap. Cap no cap!!!! No cap!!!!! Kappa no kappa!!!
This video could’ve been done in two minutes Michael Bennett’s shoulder pads are small because it gives him a great range of motion done finished thanks come again
Personally the smaller shoulder pad do help. I traded my big shoulder pads for smaller ones and I can stretch my arms anywhere and they are much lighter
the actual pads are made for kickers and QBs... they're modified though. the side piece cups get cut off all the way and the top epaulets get cut in a little bit to give him that small pad size. It makes sense for him to do this for a greater range of motion, but this is borderline not safe for him.
this video is like when you’re short 300 words on an essay
That's exactly it. My man's had to fill those time gaps with something lol
Tryna reach that 10min mark
Bro get to the fucking video holy shit
I got 3 minutes in and said I'ma head out
You got 999 likes
It’s true that having big shoulder pads give you a lesser range of movement
lol no shit.
I hate it especially because I have had linemen pads my last 3 years of playing football as a wideout
Mike Thick well obviously 🙄
corban Starkey I played line backer and trying to raise my arms above my head was a nightmare... my shoulder pads weren’t even that big 😂😂
I seems to me these ppl (TPS) dont know that
The thumbnail said "why so small"
I've been asking that question for years

TPS 2069: why football players used to wear shoulder pads and helmets
This guy has obviously never played football if he thinks it's a "superstition" that smaller shoulder pads give you more range of motion.
I never played football and I knew this, it just makes sense if your not a dumbass
I played receiver and smaller pads do give you a better range of motion.
Also less pads for oline men to grab
EXACTLY! Like if theres no pad to grab then they'll hold him forcing a penalty.

It’s harder to grip his pads you don’t have watch this video to find out why it’s obvious
Bryan Cherry that’s how ur supposed to block
Bodacious_jev no it’s a new technique where you crab the top of the pads and control the guys lateral motion in exchange for leverage. It’s legal holding and is the best pass rushing technique in the nfl
The goal is to get underneath the shoulder pads wym

Right bro and you can move your neck n have a wider field of vision and quicker head movement
Does it really takes 10 minutes to explain why his shoulder pads are small????
Well.. they gotta go over his childhood first

TH-cam wants all videos to be at least 10 minutes. Something to do with advertising I’m sure.

I always liked the smaller pads too. I felt that the bigger pads made getting into your stance and firing out more difficult than small pads.

What size shoulder pads would you like? Bennett:yes
I seen that it was a 10 min video so i googled it and within 10 seconds i found out why he wears kickers shoulder pads 👍

Smh I’m disappointed.
Do team captains from worst to best
5:00 “Los Angeles chargers” 🤦♂️
I wore qb shoulder pads as a lineman in hs it gave me more movement
so he’s not as noticeable to the refs when he keeps jumping offsides
Great vid
Hey great vid
I can agree. Played DE, and used tiny pads mad for kickers just like him. Big pads slow you down, restrict movement and feel awkward.
Apparently, Bennett and Eric Dickerson don't have the same outlook when it comes to how many pads you need. Amazing how Dickerson could still run so fast with all those pads.
I always thought he did it to look smaller so people underestimate him
Do best "you got mossed"moments ever
Mike Singletary Always Wrapped It Up. Michael Bennett Went In It Raw.

And now he has a shoulder injury
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
After 10yrs he still one of few DEs rarely injured. So he's done well with having little pads. Just need to get rid of helmets to reduce concussion incidents
As someone who played football it most certainly does help his range of motion
I played both sides of the ball late eighties and early nineties @ LB/FB. The shoulder pads then made it hard getting your arms up over your head.
HE ALREADY STATED IT WAS TO USE HIS HANDS MORE AND NOT RELY ON SHOULDERS
Listen as a linemen smaller pas not only give you a better range of movement but it makes it harder for lineman to get a grip on you small space in between you armpit and you pads
This guys shoulder pads: ▪

You know I've wondered this for a while but couldn't find out why
Interesting. And I love Justin's voice.

It's also "an" LA team, so who cares

The answer to a question I didn’t know I had
Doesn’t matter what sport, you’re always better without the pads on
Less padding will actually make the game safer, if you look at rugby you don’t see head to head injuries because they tackle properly. Pads make a defender feel safer when throwing their body at the ball carriers head.

Every teams greatest tight end ever
Karrop37 Eagles is Ertz but the other PA (I’m from that state) team the Steelers haven’t had any good ones in the last 10-20 years tbh
I played DB until I was about 30 amd I wore the smallest shoulder pads I could find. I had to be able to outstretch my arms to the fullest point.
Bruh he just got traded to the cowboys
So ik he is retired but tf do u get mad about that
Anwer: he is so muscular and big
Thank you guys for watching this video.... 😂
Dang the rams and chargers have a jersey swap day?
That is true though shoulder pads decrease your range of motion a lot.
It makes lineman harder to block not being able to grip your shoulder pads on the sides of your chest area
No cap didn’t even knew he wore shoulder pads 😂😂😂😂😂
No cap dog!!!!!!! You said it best "no cap"!!!!!1! What a fuckin legend. What a fuckin animal love you brother fuck me brother no cap. Cap no cap!!!! No cap!!!!! Kappa no kappa!!!
Brady been wearing the same pads since he was playing at Michigan.
it doesnt even look like hes wearing shoulder pads
I wondered for years what that was about
How about a video about the worst championship hangovers. Or the worst seasons after winning it all

I play inside lb and having smaller sp helps i can barely raise my hands and my pads arent that big and my jersey is tight
Nice vid
5:33 why did the guy look like smoke off the pjs
It also makes it easy to slip by an offensive lineman it's less to hit
It does give you more mobility
I play d line and love wearing small shoulder pads their great if you know to not use your shoulder as Bennett said.
Has this guy ever played football. Bigger shoulder pads equals smaller range of motion. That’s a true statement.
Your next video should be the Minshew mustache
"LA CHARGERS SAFETY ERIC WEDDLE" *shows rams player Eric weddle..

He looks just like the fighter crazy horse Charles Bennett I legit thought it was the same guy lol
Regardless, that junk look crazy 😂😂😂
But i understand the purpose, very true.
5:00 "los Angeles chargers safety" idk if he was joking or not but 😬.....
I'm honestly surprised that the NFL even allows shoulder pads that damn small on a Defensive lineman.
Watson’s rookie year was in New England not New Orleans
5:00 “LA Chargers” Eric Wedel plays for the rams
the actual pads are made for kickers and QBs... they're modified though. the side piece cups get cut off all the way and the top epaulets get cut in a little bit to give him that small pad size. It makes sense for him to do this for a greater range of motion, but this is borderline not safe for him.
