[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 834948, member: 10441"] compared to joe schmoe on the street? sometimes. There are plenty of softies in the NFL, especially when put up against their peers. and mentally? more softies than you think. and no, it's not about building calluses against injury later, though practicing like you play will certainly harden some players. But I think making preseason easier has just pushed those injuries into the first third of the season rather than have them happen in TC. is it making a difference? maybe in timing. I think more guys used to get injured in TC, but then they were done and replaced then. now I think teams are having to replace more of those injuries in the earlier part of the regular season. and you don't have to line them up and run them into each other at full speed. Maybe our drill was different. Depending on skill levels we'd lay on stomachs or backs and be facing towards the chute or away. Sometimes you'd have to flip turn and attack the chute. Other times you just popped up and attacked in the chute depending on what the coaches wanted to see and who you were against. I think you can tell a lot about a player doing those just by head up or down. and you can give an advantage to either guy and see how they respond. and you can enclose the space to keep it about desire, will, and competition and less about bashing heads together or running at each other full speed.
