I always find this argument sorta funny. Somehow there is a magical "training staff" out there that has all the secrets to keeping physical freaks healthy over the course of a 16 game season in which opponents are essentially trying to run them over. People get hurt in football. It is a violent game. There's not much a training staff can do other than keep their players healthy in the "not gonna puke 4 times a game because they're 45 Lbs overweight" kind of way.

Anyways if we're looking for reasons why we've had so many injuries I'd look closer at talent levels. When guys aren't talented enough it means maybe they're out there busting their asses in a more haphazard way trying to gain an edge. Caution to the wind somewhat. You put people on the field who can't quite cut it and then they start subconsciously trying to negate those insufficiencies and I can imagine more players get hurt.
