True. But they will have to address it somehow. Big injuries are good for the small 24/7 NFL news industry. Bad news for big Sunday NFL industry. Not to mention getting new generations to the game..
Many people incl. BB explained clearly: limited practice time hurts OL the most esp. since they are coming less and less prepared for NFL from the way football is played in college.
More resources and before that real determination to fight PED could keep bodies smaller, ligaments safer. Very tough battle but some sports addressed it with significant success.
And then the use of helmets. Instead of being safety measure/equipment they are allowed to be used as a weapon. Short term gain of the spectacle, long term ruin of the game and players.
Rugby is a tough full contact sport w plenty of blood and no helmets. But the short term and long term consequences of injuries are nowhere near this.
Turfs, TNFs, inj. rules etc etc. Plenty to be done to keep top players available in playoffs . but its much easier to chase deflated ghosts..
