wondered the same thing when I saw it live.

My likely guess is a sensor to track movement.

The NFL is starting to use them this year.

Every NFL player will wear two tiny sensors in his shoulder pads this season in the first "live" phase of a project the league hopes will enhance the in-stadium experience as well, with further media expansion and integration with teams' existing training technology likely down the line.

I don't think that was it, I wondered if it was something for the radio communication to helmet? Do those use a box for that or are those devices all self contained in helmets? Since this box was rectangular and larger than a hand. Didn't look at all like the picture they showed.

What do you think about the hit? It didn't look intentional to me. Our receiver was pretty low to the ground and moving head first. Not sure how the safety could have avoided it?

When I was on the CF board I came across this picture of their captains. It looks like the two captains on the right have something sticking out the side of their sock. I wonder if it's the same thing they pulled out of Cotton-Moya's shoulder pads?

I was going to ask too. Maybe someone can ask on the cyclone board or wherever.

Whatever they are, it didn't work well enough to win. Maybe they need electric shock motivation after they get down by 3.

I agree. Would not have been happy if one of our safeties had been ejected for it.

He intended to blow the receiver up. After that, the only question tends to be where you hit the receiver. If you hit him in the head or neck area, you are almost always going to get flagged. It doesn't matter if you hit the receiver with your helmet or your shoulder IF you hit him in the head or neck. That was a comment made by Mike Pereira the officiating guru. You avoid it by pulling off the hit. Thorton did it on a swing pass that got dropped. He was going to light the guy up and laid off when the ball got dropped. The way the game is officiated has changed. Smart players adjust.
