It's obvious no one wants to see a player injured....myself included. If you think for one second that I want to go 4-0 in the preseason but lose 4 or 5 players to injury in the process, you're mistaken.
BUT, going 4-0 in the preseason is the first step to instill success, confidence and brotherhood among our players. Leaving some blood on the turf after a hard fought game. Hitting your opponent into next Tuesday is all part of the game. This is football...not Synchronized Swimming. These players are paid significant dough to leave it all out on the field. Sure Tyrod and Sammy will have some bruises and tweaks...maybe a lineman twists an ankle. These types of minor injuries have to work themselves out. They have to be in "game shape" and that means having the ability to give or take a hit when needed.
With that said...4-0 is likely with our team as presently constituted. I know, I know, Marv never won in the preseason....well, given the absence of a Lombardi trophy on our mantel, perhaps we should approach preseason differently this year.
