I really wish the lockout was the reason but I think history tells a different story

True. If this was the only year it happened, then we can blame the lockout.

I think we've finished near the top of the league in players landing on IR, or missing multiple games, for several years now.

Does the league (or some other party) hold statistics on man-hours lost due to injuries?

I know NHL for example does, and if NFL does it would be interesting to see how high the Saints rank in that list in the span of say last 4 years.

O lineman get hurt every preseason, every season and every post season.

Leonard Davis played well last year, but he was due $6 million and thus became a fiscal casualty for the cap-strapped Cowboys. He turns 33 in early September, but could be a solid starter for a couple more seasons.

He is still unsigned and knows Payton..i dunno

Pass on him. He has gotten old quick and can hardly move on the field anymore. A liability both in passpro and the run game.

Didn't Shockey have a problem with the team docs? I keep thinking there was something like that. Not that docs can prevent certain injuries.
