Angle tackle drills, etc can really lead to some vicious hits.....I know the two hardest licks I ever received/gave were in an angle tackle drill in practice, and on a kickoff. That said, line play leads to hits to the head on nearly every play. Being a little undersized, I relied more heavily on angles, technique, quickness, and more often than not, just riding the defender out of the play, which probably saved my brain quite a bit. There were those pulling plays, etc that led to heavy contact, and I certainly got hit in the head/used the head more on defense.
I won't even get into the car wrecks.....gives me a little concern, to say the least.
As long as you don't look like that Stooler fan in your sig... :andy:
