Default Zeek, to be honest...

I would not even allow it on kickers or QBs. Lead Tape should suffice.

They are equal players to every other player. If the QB shake in the pocket with lead tape on him, he just got happy feet. If the kicker shakes, he's just a little scary!

But really, this is what has not been discussed for many years with stationary figures with magnets.

On QBs, even if you put him 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage and a defensive team has a bull rusher who is being blocked by an o-lineman right into the QB. Once the O-lineman is forced back into the QB, the DL can not penetrate anymore because of the force of the magnet. That stops a potential "sack situation". Guys hide behind the stationary argument (at least in the DFW) so just having wisdom and knowing when someone trying to run a game on me, I just want to point this out.

Lead tape should be used on every player or even putty. In the CBSMF, we will have a magnet test to ensure that magnets are not being used in any manner.

Default Magnetic affect??

So Reggie, being new to playing at this level or working on getting there and looking to buy some "stuff", how does a magnetic field cover affect play/players if any?

Default OSHA House Call......

Fellas,
Lead tape is great! BMEFA went weighted this year to 4.0. Application is easy compared to lead strips, putty or clay. Washers and Nuts (1/8" I think) also work great on TTC's with the lead tape. Caution!!! remember to wash your hands and donot eat while your handling any type of lead. Lead is a very toxic subatances and causes I wide range of health problems. It's easily absord through the skin. It's ok to use just remember to wash your hands and keep your kids away from it.
