Then you should know better, I know your coach taught you to keep your head up and why.

I'm certainly no expert, but I do think the neck is strong from twisting and snatching. I've seen many ugly face mask tackles, but no injuries. Anyone know of any. I think a hat or knee to the face would suck big time. Saw a guys thumb get caught between two hats and explode.

With redesigns to the helmet a detachable facemask would make the game safer. Please, tell me I'm wrong.

You are wrong. The facemask undergoes forces from all angles, all game. Only a few are dangerous. If you did that, we would have probably 20 stoppages of play a half to get more equipment in.

Yeah my coach said a lot of things.

My coach never told me the dangers of a facemask being ripped off and a knee or helmet hitting me in my exposed face. I apologize. Also high school was a long time ago and a lot of weed and alcohol in between.

It was just an idea. No big deal. I was wrong

Bryant is lucky the face mask gave way before Buga tore his arm off.




He should have been ejected from the game.
