Are injuries increased because of the practice rules as you claimed? Or are injuries increased because of players targeting knees to avoid penalties for helmet to helmet hits as you also claimed? You don't know. Claiming injuries are up because of decreased practice is uninformed and lazy.
Quote:You are the one trying to bring the chargers rookies into this .....
You're the one who claimed the practice rule changes were to rest veterans and had nothing to do with head injuries. I just used two rookies as examples your logic is flawed at best.
Quote:one has been hurt
Williams' injury happened during OTAs even before minicamp.
Quote:and the other was hurt probably because he hasn't been able to work with the team freely.
At best that is completely false. At worst, completely laughable. Discs don't herniate and ACLs don't tear because "probably because he hasn't been able to work with the team freely."
These are significant injuries that require a great amount of force to tear tissues completely in two.
Quote:My thoughts on the concussion protocol are my thoughts. I don't see the need for it at all.
Your thoughts on the concussion protocol are completely out of touch with current medical practices developed by numerous board certified neurologist independent of the NFL. The NFL didn't come up with the concussion protocol, they adopted the best practices of doctors that didn't have anything to do with the NFL. What education, training, or experience do you have that makes you more qualified than any of the thousands of neurologists who use the concussion protocols that have been developed over decades? Absolutely none.
Quote:Players know the risks.
After hearing Jamal Adams answer a question regarding head injuries recently, I really doubt that is true. After hearing one player say dinosaurs aren't real, but mermaids are real; I know that isn't true.
You don't think concussion protocols are necessary so I know you don't know the risks, either. A person who doesn't know the risks claiming other people you have never met know the risks has zero credibility.
