In addition, I don't get the fear of injury in the preseason as approaching the situation rationally (except maybe for QB). If dude gets injured and out for the season in preseason game 2 or week 1 of the regular season, what's really the difference? The only argument that makes sense to me is you have guys competing to make the roster that probably have little chance of making it and their mentality in the preseason game may be to throw caution to the win in order to make a play and get noticed which might put other guys on the field at greater risk. I agree with that being a concern and the solution is to have an agreement by both squads or by the league on how long 1's will play in preseason games and perhaps even how long the 2's will play.
