Re: Injury Report - Week 7 - Broncos @ Saints
Agreed. All across the league. They were talking about this on NFL Radio this week. The injury plague is league wide. I believe that the game has advanced to the point where it surpasses the ability for the human body to handle the speed, weight, and power placed upon each other.

Re: Injury Report - Week 7 - Broncos @ Saints
In war, if attrition rates are high, you need bodies. Therefore, it is good that we didnt trade away any draft picks. Maybe next year we trade back in the draft and get more picks. The reason we are among the top teams in injuries is that with an ever aging and injury prone roster, we converted from a finesse offense to a smash mouth offense. It took San Francisco a few years to find the personnel who could survive in their offense. For years their starting QB and starting RB went down every year. We have found many of the ones who can't survive in this offense.

Do not get me wrong, I see where you are coming from. I also know that agents use that increase in cap each year to argue for more money and a cap increase will go to the top players while the team adds 7 players with minimal compensation to say they have done their part. |

Re: Injury Report - Week 7 - Broncos @ Saints
the numbers are pretty disgusting.
How about we go to a "Healthy Report"? Seems like that list would be shorter these days. (FYI, that's a little thing called sarcasm, for those that can't tell.) |
