What is it with you guys? I'm glad our nose guard isn't ripped, otherwise he'd be whipped around like a rag doll. Show me a HOF nose guard who is "in good shape". These are fat athletes, and it's really incredible what they can do at their size, and they have immense amounts of power and strength, but you got to remember what nose guards are for. They need to plug holes and running lanes, and to do that you need to be pretty damn big.
