Payton Manning has worn one on his front leg for years, ever since he had a scare a few years ago.

I think it is something to adjust to, but probably shouldn't dramatically effect his play.

Post Re: Kraft says Brady will wear a brace on his knee this season

Nothing is going to affect Brady's top speed running.

He was slow before (and making jokes about it) and he'll be slow after (and making jokes but with a brace on).

So there's probably going to be no discernable difference in his speed.

Of course we'll all be screaming for him to "get down Tom - - - get down, slide slide."

Well, he is on the Colts. And is very horsey looking. Easy mistake to make.

I was just wondering...could this brace have blades or little spears or something that pop out from the side upon impact? Maybe deliver an electric shock, at least? No? Dammit.


Luckily, I'm sure TFB will manage just fine wearing a brace anyway!

They could market this brace to Raider fans.

While discussing the proposed rule on TV, they replayed the Pollard hit about 412 times this morning. I guess it made me a little pissy. Beyond my normal 'getting ready for work no coffee yet not a morning person pissyness', that is. I'm better now!

Three questions. How much does a brace protect his knee? Lets say he was wearing the brace when he got hurt. Would the injury have been the same?Also will this change the way Brady can move in the pocket?
I'd leave this to an Orthopod, but I don't think any brace is designed to protect its wearer from a hit like the one that Tommy took. I think it's purpose is more to give him extra support as he moves around and maybe prevent reinjury that is motion- and not impact-related. But, I'll concede either of those points to anyone who knows more about it than I do.

Brady was slower than McDaniels before the injury, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that top-end speed isn't a crucial part of his game.
