You really have to think the league is abusing TEs anymore. They just can't be big enough, fast enough or tough enough. It's very quickly becoming a position that's almost guaranteed to get injured even more so than running backs. They're running routes down the middle of the field against linebackers and safeties at full speed and getting hit at full speed. As Lapham said it's like being in multiple car wrecks every game. How long can this be sustainable? Something really needs to change, but what do they do? Stop using these big guys like this? Someone else will do it if you don't unless the league puts an end to putting these lives on the line like this? They want to pretend player safety is paramount, but they continuously keep running these kinds of plays. Perhaps the medical bills will force it. I mean if I were a medical insurance underwriter I'd never write a policy to cover TEs..
