re: Football Lineman with Knee Braces

For whatever reason I just assumed the OL were all wearing them because it’s pretty standard now.

Knee braces aren't the end all-be all, but can make a difference. The problem with wearing them too much is depending on them to provide all the stability. Kind of like a weightlifting belt can cause a weak core when used too much. I trust the Kelly knows these details and is implementing them properly, but we all know that 0 would not have.
I am happy to see this because I guarantee that Kelly isn't just putting them in braces and not educating them on proper use. Good times ahead, boys.

Is there evidence that the braces substantially reduce serious injuries?

I know from personal experience. Torn my ACL in high school and wore a knee brace afterwards. I played right tackle and I know for a fact without it, I would’ve re-tore it. The amount of times you get rolled up on or knee buckles from pass set someone pushing you backwards, they definitely help. I’m all for knee braces.

Crazy that they weren't doing that under Orgeron. I just googled Florida, Alabama and Georgia O lines and I couldn't find any pics where their linemen were not wearing braces.

All I know is if they are good for Stone Cold Steve Austin, they are good for me.

FWIW, if you constantly play with a knee brace, your knees will be used to playing as such and won't develop the same strength as you would without a knee brace. It has a positive and negative effect, to a point.

Explain how that statement makes any sense. I've watched tons of LSU football and I'm a season ticket holder.

Nope but the rant knows best. They played 20 years ago and it helped them so it must be good. They also think ladder drills improve agility....Tommy moffit was using an outdated system from 2000 and that they know more than anyone.
News flash for the ot, want to have improve stability in the knee.....set up an individualized program for each person to Train it, the hamstrings, the tibs, and the hip flexor and monitor the stability weekly.
Lot more that goes into knee stability than just putting on a brace.

I mean that is yet another small example of attention to detail matters.
Mike Jones said he didn't know what you ate mattered still just blows my mind at just how complacent O and the staff got after 19.

I would think that wearing knee braces when you don’t need them would cause your knees to become dependent on them and thus weaker.

it does
the rant doesnt care about the science of that though....right now anything BK does is gold, anything O did is dumb as frick. same thing they did with O and miles.
when the truth is in the middle. lots of things Bk does are amazing, just like some of the things both O and Miles did were awesome.
i fricking hate the black and white opinions with no science to back up the opinion.

Safety aside, is the loss of mobility a net loss to performance?
Posted on 4/5/22 at 3:15 pm to lsu777
Dude why are you being so sensitive on this site? Lol. I’m the OP and found it as a smart move given the history of injuries to this team. You can tell me science this and that, at the end of the day, like I mentioned earlier, I know from experience. I know without a knee brace it would’ve buckled plenty. It gave me extra stability from previous injury. A lot of these guys have dealt with nagging injuries so why not require it. Could their knee still snap? Yeah. But at least you tried something to protect it.
You must have some kinesiology background to be so offended

It is my understanding that the muscles which invest the joint are the main source of stability. It must all work together.

I suspect that for some, maybe especially those with prior injuries, this may be the case. I can find no systematic data.
