This. Pretty sure it is all about injury protection which after the last couple years I am in support of.I understand the backplate not being exposed because things can get caught in the backplate easier when it's exposed all the other rules though.....
Edit: Also, I understand the knees being covered, never understood why guys didn't want to, sometimes you just land a little weird on your knee and if there is no padding you can ding yourself up even if it is just a minor knee bruise.
From what I've seen, Dobbs has been playing really well this preseason--making it hard to cut him. I am one of those VOLS band wagon fan-- I am all about New Orleans now, and if Dobbs actually made second team with Big Ben as old and gimpy as he is, I would be loving the Steelers.Probably small but I don't follow Steelers so who knows
