[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 37835, member: 56"] Very true. I was thinking about this the other day and wondering about the following: Offensive line injuries are pretty common on all teams. On most teams, they seem to have leg injuries such as knee &/or ankle injuries more commonly than we do at GT. Now, certainly part of that should be true due to Tech requiring them to wear the knee braces. The brace may limit mobility a little but sure seems to add more stability and strength to the knee area. Conversely, we seem to (at least to my recollection) seem to have more shoulder injuries among our OL than most other schools. Does anyone else wonder if this is due to the number of cut blocks we do? In other words, the increased impact of a 300'ish pound guy landing on his arms/chest/shoulder area on the ground just tends to move the injured area from lower body to upper body? Anyone else ever considered that or have an opinion on it? [/QUOTE]
