Icons Changing for Online Play?

[Saluki]

To make a long story short, I played a game yesterday with my beloved Ravens amd[B] Chris McAlister had the Lightbulb Icon underneath him.[/B]........We'll, I play a game today and Chris now has the Lockdown CB Icon underneath him and that sort of tripped me out!

Do players Icon change for Home/Away, certain players they are guarding, etc... or was it just a game error b/c I hope Chris really has the Lightbulb Icon and not that useless Lockdown CB Icon but I know before that he only had the Lockdown CB Icon (before thus latest update that is)

Some players have multiple weapon icons, sometimes they'll show up depending on formation your running or the position you put them in. For example when i run a 3-4 with Carolina, Beason has the Brick wall, but when i switch to 4-6 he has the light bulb.

I didn't know people actually cared about these icons. What is the importance of them?

Agreed, i turned them off and hate playing people who have them enabled.
