Every year someone goes down on some team with a knee. I don't know about limiting drills, I get Badger''s point, if he means to gradually increase the speed, almost like a race car you don't take a car on the track and take it up to 190, it's gradually built up. Now that is obviously not a great analogy, but like sprinters doing stretches and warm ups before a race, camps should probably increase in intensity. If Fowler was going 100% in his first hour, that's really on Fowler.

 

It is interesting that all players wear helmets, but it's always the random knee that's a season ending camp injury. Why not have everyone in light knee braces to prevent a random step in a mole hole turning a knee out? Not the full metal slab type, but the light ones could be standard protection just like a helmet is to prevent a fluke knee injury. Just a wishful thought in hindsight.
