Knee Pads Revisited
« on: January 16, 2011, 02:16:33 PM »
Watching the Seahawks - Bears game and a Seahawk is down with a head injury, apparently caused by a knee to the helmet.  Mike P claims the NFL is looking at making it mandatory to have knee pads covering the knees.

I have a hard time believing a knee to the helmet would be mitigated by a pad, but maybe.

The pad wouldn't have made much difference. Both players are going at each other and the hit was just in the right place.
