The green dots means the helmet has a radio in it for the qb to hear the play call from the coach. Thats all. Pretty stupid and ugly if you ask me.

 

Bingo.
If you look thru the games, only QBs have them.

 

I call it the Vick rule. Onley one player on offence is alowed a radio in their hellmit(leage rule) A few times last year Vick would line up as a slot rec. and Shaub at QB. Both players being QB's had radios in their hellmits. Thats a penalty! It gives officals a better way to tell who has a radio.

If I'm wrong, let me know?

 

Not sure how thats a penalty.
Is there a rule that states that no more than one player is allowed to have QBs helment on?

And im sure they did it, so equiptment people wouldn tthriow them in with all the hellments.

 

its for the coach to call the play and there is only one aload on the field at a time

 

why dont any MLB's have radios in there helmet?

 

Becuase the NFL is about encouraging high scoring games.

 

Thanks to the Patriots 'spygate' incident they may allow a defensive player to have a radio installed for 2008.

 

Only one offensive player may have a communication helmet on any given play.

The communication is only allowed for the first 10-15 seconds (not sure) of the play clock. A league official turns the radio on and off during the game.

 

WEll it does not have to be the QB. BUt 100% of the time it will be because the green dot just ids the radio helmet. There can only be one radio helmet on the field for the Offense.

The Def the rules committe tried to vote on a radio reciever for Def as well but it was voted down this past year.

BUt with the stealing signals stuff it probably will get passed this year. and you will see one green dot on Def as well. It just keeps getting voted down

 

thats because only one guy on the field is allowed to have it so they give it to the QB
