You didn't even read your sources.
The first sentence of the first paragraph of the first reference reads, "It’s way too early to blame the rash of injuries during 2013 training camp on the new practice rules and limitations implemented in 2011 as part of the new labor deal." The second sentence states that hasn't stopped "speculation."
At least pretend to educate yourself . . .

1. My initial point was on quality of play. If they can't be trusted to agree what a catch is then how can we trust them to handle the concussion protocol correctly? Especially given they have no long term studies.
2. I posted those not for the obvious NFL covering their own tails. But to show that Polian and Belichelk who are aware of the quality of play on field and how these rules are hampering them plus leading to increased injury.
3. Your link doesn't work. The pro concussion people have all said they still don't have enough info. The NFL concussion protocol is a knee jerk overreaction. None of this would be an issue of they weren't going in blind just trying whatever to see what sticks.
