I was not sure if the Badgers were counting on this guy.

Sad to hear. Hope this doesn't cause problems for him later in life.

With Kaz's new technique for our players, I hope we avoid severe migraines

It sounds like he is OK when not playing football. He can still workout. UWBadgers has a better article explaining the injury. http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/072012aaa.html

 

It's funny how some players suffer concussions and migraines and others don't. Just luck or something to do with a person's brain anatomy? Glad we have the research facilities to look into this.

 

Kaz should re-examine his technique that he's teaching. Given how strong these players are, they can generate a hell of a lot of force. If the main point of contact is the head and absorbs a lot of the impact energy, I don't think any kind of helmet can adequately protect the brain. Don't want to be losing DT/Es to injury or have them suffer long term damage!
