Does the "neck roll" help in avoiding injury?

[VWG]

Just wondering. How much does the neck roll help in avoiding serious injury during a game?
Seems that there could be something more done to prevent injuries from happening in the future.

Neck rolls keep the neck from extended movement. But the only sure bet to keep from getting injured is not to play! Now who would want to do that? Another way to help limit neck injuries is to teach good tackling techniques, which I'm sure most coaches do. I know ours do. They took a boy out of practice one time cause he kept hitting with his head ducked.

I dont know about injuries, but they can make anybody look more intimidating
