It's not a penalty. I believe the league reviewed it a couple seasons ago and decided that it counts as part of the uniform.

He had to do it by himself, Anderson was no help taking the pressure off of Abe. Because of that, smart opponents would stick an extra man on Abe. Getting penetration can be quite difficult as you can imagine but he was still able to pull a sack sometimes. Thats why its vital for Anderson or someone else to pull through and step it up on the pass rush. Stirg d’Nahsif:

Bring back milloy? Why? Erik Coleman has been moved to the starting strong safety spot and he is a huge upgrade over the old and slow milloy. Decoud is now the starting free safety. With coleman, decoud, and william moore the falcons are much more athletic and versatile at the safety position. Do some of you guys even watch falcon football? Bring back milloy? Why?

Look at Chipper. That boy's a mess. We was thinking maybe it's his thumbs. That, and the new glove. When we was playing ball we would always keep our thumb in the glove so it wouldn't get hurt. When we was at bat we would always try to not let the ball hit us in the thumbs. When we was healthy in the thumbs we was winning enough to be state championship.

How can they allow instant replay in an exhibition (excuse me: preseason) game!? This Tampa-Miami game just might be over in time for me to watch the Falcon game Saturday night! My God!

However, I agree that there seem to be an awful lot of players getting their helmets knocked off, both this season and last; and not just the Falcons. Need to tighten those chin straps, men.
