The league is so worried about injuries, they need to start making these guys wear actual cleats again. In the race for speed, they have been wearing lighter and lighter footware. I have heard the analysts on Sirius there is a serious belief amongst the Medical staffs that this is resulting in higher occasions of foot injuries, especially Lisfranc injuries. If the league would mandate a shoe with a minimum standard of cushion and protection, it would put everyone back on equal footing with no advantage to anyone. I heard they were looking at making certain position players go back to bigger shoulder pads, it only makes sense they would mandate a shoe with adequate support.
