Without live tackling you probably do have guys out there loafing more than they usually would and might, therefore, be more prone to tensing up before getting hit, which would lead to more injuries since tensing up makes you more susceptible to injury. The only reason I say players may be more prone to tensing is that when going 100% the muscles may not have any more ability to tense up, or the movements could be coming so quickly that they don't have a chance to tense up.</p></blockquote><p></p>
