Some teams really don't have the money to buy 5-6 $500 pairs of knee braces. Not to mention that they are fitted so it won't always fit the next guy in line. I think every team would love to provide their players with knee braces, but it's not always in the budget.

[color=red]Since bad knees run in our family, we insisted that the trainer put our son in them when he played.  They didn't interfer with his playing OL, and he doesn't have knee problems[/color]

Has PNG seen a decrease in knee injurys since they seem to be the ones that use them? Just asking because I don't know the answer.

PNG 2009 and 2010 offensive lines only suffered one knee injury combined. It came in the playoffs last year to the center, Parks. If I'm not mistaken it came more from hitting his knee on the ground extremely hard and not from a typical reason. They are very effective, but very expensive.
