Yes, but blaming it on the strength and conditioning coaches is an oversimplification. These coaches cannot make the players work out on their own during the off season, and the practice rules put in place by the Players Association limiting padded practices is a huge culprit here. To toughen the soft tissue and get into "football shape", you have to take hits in practice, there is no other way. They keep making those practices more and more limited, and injuries keep going up because of it.
