If you ask me, it is because they are not following the dictum of "practice the same way you play"

Ask any rock n' roll musician -- if you practice through some dinky little 5 watt bedroom practice amp, you are not going to be prepared to get up there on a BIG stage with a light show and pyrotechnics and blast through a gigantic Marshall stack. It's completely different. The only way to learn how to handle a loud guitar, or play in front of 18,000 people, is to PLAY LOUD.

You learn to do it by doing, there's no other way.

Football is the same deal -- you can't learn it or do it properly, by being half-****ed about it. When they took all these guys out of pads, took away the practices with the pads on, and reduced the amount of off season practice, they weren't ready for the fact that the guys are still playing the game the way they always have!

Also when changing the CBA, they were not taking into account that these guys are professionals who go 110% all out, all the time whether it's practice or a game. So in my opinion, that's why there are so many injuries going on in training camp, not just with the Saints but all over the league.
