Mouthpieces

Post by fortdawg »

What do you think about the anti-concussion mouthpieces? Anybody have any experience with them?

From what I read about the goings on at the board meetings it appears some of your women folk need a pair of rolled up socks for a mouth piece. :mrgreen:

Yes these things work really well. They have a thing called a "facemask' now too. The only down side to the facemask is the players can no longer fold their helmets up and stick them in their pockets. :mrgreen:

If you can get your kids to run through a wall, do you really need mouthpieces?

There is a new coach in the area by name of Brick Walls. Reportedly he never wore a helmet when he played, so no mouth piece nor face mask needed.

I remember on football Fridays a school a kid was so into the game that night he'd keep his mouthpiece in his mouth the entire school day.
He wasn't exactly a brainiac, but that guy would punish you in the trenches for four quarters.
