Osage Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 The main pro I see is a matter of injury prevention. There could be a secondary benefit of playing more freely, slightly (but not completely) free of the worry that somebody is going to end your season by taking your knees out. Lots of cons, tho... cost, discomfort, restricted movement chief among them. But if you go to an SEC game (or similar), most or all of the interior linemen are wearing external knee braces. So there must be value there somewhere. Discuss please. If you your kid is (or was, or theoretically would be) a high school varsity center, guard, or tackle, would he be wearing knee braces?

tucker52 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 My son is a rising Jr OT , been wearing knee braces since first game of freshman year. They are mandatory in my mind. He hates them but will tell you they saved his knees at least 3-4 times in 2 years , After beating OR in the play offs last year first thing he told me when I met him on the field was those braces saved his knees twice tonight. I consider them a good investment in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everything I hear about him tells me that he is a great kid. You should be proud of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongx Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 It was a nay for us. And that was a mistake. After the fake turf went in, he had acl tears in each knee. He was a DE. Hindsight being 20/20, the answer is a yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
