Shoulder pad, shoulder pad, under helmet grabbing neck, hand on the side of he helmet not grabbing anything.
Taysom's helmet doesn't just DOWN at the ear either as you can see by the multiple photographs. You MAYBE could make the claim that his pointer finger is hooked under the helmet in the ONE picture, but if you look at the shape of how the bottom of his helmet is formed, the rest of his fingers can't be grasping a helmet because there is NO helmet there to grab. It doesn't extend DOWN at his ear where the rest of his fingers are grasping.
So I guess if you want to claim that he had a pointer finger under the helmet and the rest of his fingers grasping nothing and that's a facemask, then so be it.
I think the photos to me clearly show his hand slid from jersey around his helmet and off.
