Orrrr does it bring about more concussions because you do the same thing in a game that you do in practice, if not more violent in a game scenario, but you don’t have the protection of the maxi-pad in-game?

#TheMoreYouKnow
Data seems to mixed on its efficacy but I think the premise that it increases concussions might be without merit. (for now). Its biggest impact might be to protect an institution from a lawsuit.

Here are a couple articles I found:

No, that doesn’t make any sense

But hear me out. What if the data doesn’t know jack shit?
Thankfully this is the kind of data and study that a high schooler could set up, so there is a really strong chance of a direct causal link.

Also, your logic on game play vs practice is absolutely atrocious, but I’m guessing you’re trolling.

The positive of that is you have a bunch of position coaches that know that and will hopefully be grinding their asses off to be next in line and be ready to go.
Agreed. I also have full faith that Rhule will be able to hire a solid DC if need be.

We all really need to enjoy this season given Tony White is probably gonzo next offseason.
That's very true. However, Rhule has always fielded a solid defense. Plus, I feel pretty confident in Dvoracek or Knighting stepping into the DC role next year and thriving. I'm more concerned with filling the positional spots...

Probably have to give a raise to one of them that isn't the DC so they don't bail.
