That doesn't surprise me at all.

Yannick was first guy I thought of last night when Floyd went down

This, even if he is not good against the run at this point, I don't care. We need a pass rusher that can approach double digit sacks for once in our lives across from Bosa

Will have very little impact for this team imo, I bet he produces less than Gregory did for us last year.

Floyd, less than Gregory? What are you willing to bet?
I remember back in the day when like maybe 2-3 guys per year would suffer season ending injuries, but otherwise everyone toughed it out. Now everyone gets hurt constantly and has to sit out 3 weeks for a hangnail.

Hearing older players like Aaron Rodgers talk about how hard the training camps used to be, and how comfortable they are now gives me little hope for the future of the game. The game is soft now. All these NFLPA regulations that require no contact and extra time off. Sports in general has babied athletes, fretting over how much money they have invested in them and player safety PR, yet they're getting hurt more than ever before.

Those guardian helmets actually being used in games now is insane.

I thought the same thing last night when I saw both DE's go down. I thought these are some soft players nowadays hell back in the day it was a rare sight to see a starter go down.

Health and fitness training has changed the game as much as anything. Fifty years ago, kids would have to go down to the local gym and lift weights by themselves, then grab a burger on the way home. Now, even high schools have weight rooms that the pros of the 70's would envy. The size and fitness of guys now had made for much more violent collisions and injury potential. If today's players practiced as much with pads as they did even in the 90s, roster size would have to be increased to 60+ to have enough players to last the season.

At least we will always have the memories of drunk Kyle sauced in front of the media acting like he accomplished something just by getting to the Super Bowl 🙄
