Oh, he knew but wasn't too worried about it with all the other business at hand. Also, remember Godell asked us to stop and if we had complied there would have been no problem. He didn't start throwing sanctions around immediately......or he'd have had to do it to all teams.
It's all the old players who didn't prepare for the future and played with inferior gear and the fear of lawsuits that drives this now. I personally believe leading with the helmet is dangerous to both parties. It's a "relatively" new practice over the last decade or so it seems to me.
