If he can't take the hits he's not going to be a starter for long. It was the first play to and at some point these guys need a little live fire. That said Brown doesn't need to be running routes where he's going to get smashed. [Reply]

I can at least see the argument for younger players/new arrivals to be out there but even then it’s a stretch. Mahomes, Kelce and CJ definitely should not be. [Reply]
Tyreek was hurt 09/08/2019, 1st game of the year, he came back 10/13/2019, the 6th game of year. I remember the play when Tyreek got hurt, I thought Jalen Ramsey intentionally tried to injure Tyreek. They look similar but I don’t think Hollywood got the full follow through like Tyreek did. Hopefully Hollywood misses only a couple weeks at most.

I’ve always found that the less hits you take (especially in meaningless preseason games), the less chance you’ll get hurt. It’s needless risk in the end. [Reply]

Hard to say. Pretty sure I'd be smart enough not to judge something time-tested by one outlier preseason...let alone judge it by the first play in the first preseason game. [Reply]

Football players getting injured playing football isn’t an outlier. [Reply]
