[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 167316, member: 1640"] Not sure why but almost every year I worry more about injuries in off season practice than I do any other time. No one needs to quote the statistics to me about more injuries happening during the season. I did not say the concern was rational. I just remember something CPJ said three years ago when someone seemed to be questioning whether or not Tech practices were sufficiently preparing the team for games. He said, "We try to practice as hard as we can on things without killing each other." The phrase "killing each other" has come up more recently also. So the concern is how you get a team ready for game speed, level of intensity and hitting without taking out your own players. I don't know how Nathan Cottrell was injured but I think about new guys trying to learn a system and being set up for some devastating hits by the defense while they are learning. I hate to think about a talented back going down before he even sees the field because in practice you are trying to thread the difference between not killing each other and getting each other prepared for the real shooting war.
