In-season padded practices would plummet under new CBA

[SBprimetime]

When I played football, our coaches used to baby us when it came to full contact and we were rarely able to hit each other in practice. I played mostly defense, and I felt like our lack of getting reps tackling and getting a feel for it in practice really hurt our tackling overall. Maybe most of our players just sucked, high school is not the NFL. While I do feel these restrictions will probably reduce injuries and wear and tear on the players, there is a slight possibility that it may negatively affect how many broken tackles we see over the course of he season.
