is it not tied to # of minutes played? i know that is nitpicking, but i do think it is something that is based on factors coaches control. and the forward-looking truth is they will be more based on durability (i consider the fact that injuries are less severe today based on durability to mean durability impacts them, not the probability, but that is not the only aspect of injuries, is it?). so i think the question is, injuries based on things the coaches have some control over, or no injuries.
i am kind of split. i think forcing coaches to adapt is good, but a key season-ending injury in the NT is a little too brutal for my tastes. i would vote for an option for more injuries in the regular season and no injury effect on the post season, but im sure that is not going to happen either...
