I'm still not a fan of the huge disparity between incoming rookie speeds and speeds of veterans that are still deemed to be burners, but at least there is improvement.

what are you talking about? Nelson and Scandrick are definitely injured in the roster

And that's a pretty accurate picture of the Cowboys backfield right now...there's a reason none of them have been deemed a starter yet

They finally gave WR John Brown from the Cardinals a haircut! He hasn't had dreads for a while lol

Man, pro athletes are getting too big. More muscle and leaner, but still heavier, and their bone structure/frame is still the same size. An adult's frame is what it is, and can only support so much weight. I really think it'd be better if NFL players dropped their weight by 10% across the board. By better, I think we'd see fewer injuries to joints/knees/shoulders/hips if these guys weren't toting around so much beef at world-class speeds.
Will players start dropping weight overnight to lower injury risk? No. But it's possible that this will become a trend in the future if studies support this theory, much like full-contact practices have been scaled back to protect the brain-health of players.
By no means can increased weights explain away all injuries in a violent game, but I think it's a major contributing factor. Same goes for the rash of Tommy John surgeries for pitchers.
I heard an interview with Dr. James Andrews, the Tommy John surgery guru, and he mentioned the increased size of athletes as a factor.

I think he was talking about everyone that is on IR in real life is listed as ACL tear in game even if thats not their injury.
