Instead of being obsessed with not getting guys hurt in camp/ pre season, let them play some. Let their bodies get use to being hit and hitting/tackling.

Agreed, but that doesn't obviate injuries generally, only contact generally. Hamstrings, sprains, muscle tears etc. would speak more to conditioning than contact. If players are doing stretching, weights and aerobic exercises properly why are those injuries appearing to occur so frequently. And with our guys. Medical/training staff not good enough? Off season regimens poor?
