I find it strange that this is a concern all of a sudden. It's not as if the mechanics of the game have recently changed, nor the construction of the harness style shoulder pads
AFAIK (or shirt collars). Previous efforts to curb knee injuries have resulted in rule changes only after long study & deliberation. How could this danger have been lurking unrecognized for so long? And why, of all the ways a player can wind up folded under like that, must this particular technique, and only against a ballcarrier, be singled out as a cause?
