Is Mariota making a grave mistake?

What the hell is Mariota and the staff thinking!? They should consult fan message boards before making this kind of decision lol

 

When a far dude falls on your leg something’s gotta give. A brace prevents a knee injury, but won’t prevent a broken leg.

Also what does him losing 10 lbs have to do with him pulling a hamstring?

 

“We’ll see. It might be a different story when the pads are on,” he said. “But for now, yeah, I feel comfortable, I feel good. The whole knee brace, it felt restricting, but at the same time I have to be smart and try to be safe out there. We’ll see. I’m not sure. I haven’t made that decision







Wasn't he wearing one when he got injured last year?

 

. However, what about for preventing knee injuries? This year the Dallas Cowboy linemen were horrified to learn that they were being required to wear knee braces during practice. Not to soothe old injuries, but to try to prevent new injuries.

Dr. David Geier reviewed the evidence on knee braces to prevent injuries during football. One study reported that knee braces did indeed reduce the rate of injuries to the MCL (the ligament on the inside of the knee, the inner-knee counterpart to the ACL). Two studies found no effect of prophylactic bracing on knee injuries. One study reported an increase in knee ligament injuries if braces were worn. And another study reported an increase in foot and ankle injuries if knee braces were worn. So the evidence is definitely not very consistent in regards to the ability of knee braces to prevent injury in football

Do knee braces prevent knee injuries?

 

Apparently, JCB thinks a knee brace is equivalent to wearing an Iron Man suit.

 

Him being too lean made him more succeptible to soft tissue injury, me and Riverman both stated as such last year.

 

I like this Iron Man suit idea... intriiiiiiiiiguing.

Sidenote: When are they gonna make a Cyberball movie? I mean if Rampage can be a movie, why not Cyberball!
