[QUOTE="Coloradojacket, post: 671184, member: 3070"] So for what it is worth here is my take on concussions in football. and yes I know that back in the past kids did not report as much on concussions.....we called it getting your bell rung. 1. Kids watch too much pro-football. I coached youth football for 4 years and had to constantly teach kids how to tackle and how to even block. They said well that is not how the Bronco's do it and I would say, yea great. 2. I believe that the creation off all this passing offense has created more concussions. When we used to run the ball the play was in a much more contained zone. Hard to build up speed in a phone booth. Also blocking was tught to be lower on the body as well as tackling lower. 3. Yea players are bigger and faster 4. No kick offs are not an issue. You see when they measure the stats on injuries in kickoffs they use a formula, injuries/plays. Naturally there are fewer kick plays. [/QUOTE]
