Time to em-brace the OL?

[Ring Leader]

Another starting O-lineman (Biadasz) down and probably our for the playoffs. It's a tall order for even the deepest teams to compensate for a 40% attrition rate at a position group that thrives on continuity like the O-line.

Is it time to go full leg braces on the O-line? I mean how much agility do these behemoths really sacrifice protecting themselves from these unpredictable 300 lb leg seeking missiles and nasty rollups?

I wonder why teams don't force the lineman to wear braces? It's so easy for a defender or RB to roll up on their leg. But do braces help defend again the majority of the injuries involved with a defender rolling up on their leg?
