Antti Raanta’s Gear

Recommended Posts

Some discussions as to whether Antti Raanta was wearing his old leg pads or new lighter gear in the game against Buffalo. I found a photo that proves he was wearing his custom Brian’s Iconik leg pads and not his reported lighter weight Baeur Vapor HyperLite leg pads. You can see the logos if you zoom in on the first photo.

Here is a link stating Raanta also uses the Baeur Vapor HyperLite leg Pads -

Of course both brands are customized for Raanta’s desired color scheme. 8940836A-2EBA-4DF9-9107-FD841F0765DB.thumb.jpeg.a3716e693d8b7b46e492aa441b1d7886.jpegCECE09B8-709E-42FD-8FEF-0F48B6F9F6F2.thumb.jpeg.3b543fdd518cf25fa1915365f605b691.jpeg6532CC0D-A9C0-4265-8B67-646383E46155.thumb.jpeg.8f7562ad846c8330c0ed93309c730edf.jpeg

Correction - @Harbingersprovided this response in the Buffalo thread:

“Yes his old gear is his Brian’s. Which Tripp at least claims is his “lighter” gear.”

So I appear to have been mistaken as to which gear was lighter. Thanks Harbingers. 

Like I said. I’m just repeating what Tripp as said over the past few Raanta start games.
 

We all know how excitable Tripp is so no idea which set is lighter. But Tripp calls his old gear his “light” gear.

    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers. 
    • Poor guy went from the Ravens to this disaster
    • You have to make the best of it and find moments of happiness.  So, I picked up the Falcons D in my money league for this week.
