Why do these non-contact Achilles and ACL tears seem to happen more frequently? Certainly there is more media coverage making it seem more prevalent, but there is another reason. As players get bigger, faster and stronger, the size of the Achilles tendon (or ACL) does not increase. The Achilles of the 227-pound Arian Foster is not proportionately thicker, wider or stronger than that of a 150-pound office worker.
There are two ways Achilles tendons rupture. The first type involves a weakened Achilles with tendinosis in a middle age or older individual. The second involves a completely healthy tendon where the muscle of a younger athlete is actually strong enough to tear the Achilles when it contracts quickly.
When you said, "you don't see this at other levels of football" this can explain why. In the NFL these guys are growing into their bodies/maturing, their better diets, and weight programs/supplementation are all more advanced leading to bigger, faster dudes but these tendons, ligaments and joints are all the same size. It's raw physics.

SouthSame as in the skill players thread; I'm going to project this upcoming season, so not just off the past but the past + the potential future, so talent level plays a role as well.
Johnathan Joseph
Vontae Davis
Davon House
Jason McCourty
Kevin Johnson
Kareem Jackson
Prince Amukamara
Jalen Ramsey
Patrick Robinson
Darius Butler
Brice McCain
Aaron Colvin
Perrish CoxCouple things here, I expect Vontae to bounce back from allowing so many TDs (7) last year. Guys I expect to make a jump compared to the past include Davon House, Kevin Johnson, Prince Amukamara, and Jason McCourty. For House it's the added talent around him especially pass rush (CB's best friend), for Johnson it's no longer being a rookie and I like his talent/size over Kareem's, for Prince it's being under the radar/less pressure, for McCourty it's being healthy and playing off the front 7 and LeBeau's pressure schemes.
I understand the Kareem argument, but I feel like Johnson will overtake him this year and being my rankings are projection based that's why it is the way it is.
Other explanations:
Patrick Robinson quietly had a good year in San Diego and is a better fit for the Colts than Toler, he should enjoy his new team. Darius Butler is a real solid NB, I like him to be better than McCain.
Perrish Cox also allowed 7 TDs last year (career high), and will continue to be the guy teams pick on given harder defenders to throw on in McCourty and McCain. Plus the WRs in this division are really really good, so he brings up the rear.
Jalen Ramsey is still raw technique wise as we all knew coming-in, but his long arms, physicality/strength, and make-up speed will all help him this year I just feel Prince is a more technically sound CB (him and A-Rob's TC battles are becoming a regular, while A-Rob tends to school Ramsey with his routes and fakes) and will continue to be this year hence why even in projection this season I still have Prince over Ramsey. Aaron Colvin is suspended for the first 4 games and Prince is balling so he might not get on the field if the trio of House/Prince/Ramsey produces that much but he was the best run stopping/blitzing NB in the league last year quietly. Led all DBs with 4 sacks. I'd have him higher if I was confident enough he'll get on the field, Prince might keep him off.

Dog Eat Dog looks like it could be fun. Pairs Cage & Defoe back up from last we saw them together in Wild at Heart. If it gets US distribution and is in theaters I'm down otherwise I'll watch it on the net.
trailer isn't on youtube so gotta watch it in the embeded vid in link.

SouthI'm going to project what I expect to see this upcoming season. So this isn't a "what have they done" ranking. More of a "what will they do?" Given that, that means I'll put in rookies who I project to place into spots ahead of vets (for instance I expect the Colts' Josh Ferguson to end up jumping Turbin in the depth chart) so while you can say yeah they haven't played in real NFL games yet; Idc Idc Idc .
QB:
Andrew Luck
Blake Bortles
Marcus Mariota
Brock Osweiler
Pretty self explanatory; Luck should bounce back, Bortles should improve consistency but maybe have lesser stats, Mariota might be running a lot more
and Brock is... well he's Brock.RB:
Lamar MillerChris Ivory
T.J. Yeldon
DeMarco Murray
Frank Gore
Josh Ferguson
Derrick Henry
Alfred Blue
Talk about the all-injury prone RB division, great googly moogly. Look out for Josh Ferguson. Henry seems to be struggling so far in camp so he's tamed down the list but more talent than Blue so he gets the nod.
WR:
DeAndre HopkinsAllen Robinson
Allen Hurns
Donte Moncrief
T.Y. Hilton
Tajae Sharpe
Rashad Greene
Phillip Dorsett
Jaelen Strong
Kendall Wright
Will Fuller
This group is deeper than people realize in my opinion. Robinson will make it more interesting with Hopkins this year at the top as A-Rob has looked like he's taken even "another step" this year which seems insane and Hopkins as we know is disgruntled with the Front Office. Guys you should expect to burst onto the scene: Moncrief, Sharpe, Greene, Dorsett, Strong.
TE:
Delanie Walker
Julius Thomas
Dwayne Allen
Marcedes Lewis
C.J. Fiedorowicz
Anthony Fasano
Top three are really good, rest are blocking TE vets. Didn't list Stevens because seems kind of redundant with Fasano but either of them likely places in that slot. One thing to watch is for whatever reason Marcedes Lewis is having by far his best camp/offseason by all reports and video evidence and seems to be the guy everyone leaves open as they panic to cover the Allens, and Julius so he might have an unexpected spike in TDs this year.

The Night Of
HBO mini-series, binge watched the only 4 episodes out so far as my mom was recovering from surgery and oh yeah... this is a good one. John Turturro the gawd
This has the feel of The Wire, wasn't expecting that coming in for some reason but it's there. -

They'll probably have to shut him down for the entire preseason if they don't want it to linger. Alfred Morris reportedly looked more decisive early on in camp, so he'll have to carry the load with Dunbar until Zeke gets back and McFadden's elbow finally heals up. -
Julius Thomas was able to walk afterwards just like T.J. Yeldon who had a sprained ankle. Yeldon missed 2 days. Expect something similar with Thomas not weeks.
The real
news is not really news because today was the 4th straight practice Marqise Lee has been out with a hamstring 
EDIT: Julius Thomas isn't even missing a day, he's practicing the very next day
Told ya. Also, Lee still out because it's Marqise Lee.https://twitter.com/ryanohalloran/status/760826903888551936
Also:
Backup QB Kellen Moore just broke his leg. Done-so and RapSheet and others already saying, "Paging Nick Foles" whew. -
Enter James Jones!

Trump is just a fucking salesman, lol. He says anything to put himself in position. How anyone can support him just baffles me.
Trump-ers keep spewing shit about how "real and honest" he is when everything in his past says otherwise.
Hillary being a crook doesn't make Trump transparent.
That article Cherry posted awhile back says the same, they pretty much nail his tactics and why so many people were confused by him and still are:

I'm not registered to vote still, and this year sure as hell ain't gonna make me take the leap (also I'm pretty sure I can't this late in the process) but I think Trump is going to win. Hillary is a dead candidate IMO. I just don't see where she goes up from here unless she just absolutely dominates Trump in debates (which I don't see happening, even if shes known as a good debater, Donald has proven to be as well so far) or Trump does/says something to change things but as we've seen and Phil says people like Trump even when he talks out of pocket because it appeals to his non-PC politician image.

Ah, you're right about Thana, missed that. But Razor never predicted playoffs
Also, DeAndre Hopkins holding out and Texans don't negotiate. Texans 5-11 confirmed

EDIT:
Some say that receiver Roddy White’s expression of reluctance to sign with a non-contender means he has no viable options anywhere. That’s apparently not the case.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, White was — and still is — on the radar in Tennessee. But he won’t accept a minimum-salary offer. Andre Johnson did, which is why he was recently signed.
But with Johnson’s deal not guaranteed, the Titans can kick tires and, if they decide he can’t truly help the team, move on. Possibly back to White.
Other teams to watch for White include the obvious dot-connection to the Buccaneers, where former Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is the head coach.
Regardless of where White ends up, it’s apparently going to take more than the one-year veteran minimum to make it happen. Before a team gets to the point where it’s willing to pay that much, it likely will need to evaluate what it currently has.

Yeah that's why I propped Bware's post too, him getting the GOP to cheer for gay rights was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen, never thought I'd see that either
Then he even said he was proud of them for cheering. Plus he kept throwing the ills of former GOP policies in their face. It was kind of impressive for all the other dumb shit he's done/said. -
If you're really interested in this Russian angle, it goes really fucking deep including Snowden, Wikileaks, Assange etc.
From a former NSA and Cold War American spy who Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has tried to destroy before (since he started exposing Assange and Wikileaks as a Russian front) by exposing him sending a dick pic to a girl on twitter because he was no longer having sex with his wife but failed to completely destroy him so he kept pounding the desk and now it seems most people are aligning with his thoughts finally:

Hugo BAWSE only keeper to be nominated twice for save of the year.
they should of included this one for the fuck of it too

He'll cut into Ebron and Riddick's targets more than anyone else IMO.

No ones presence is touching James Harrison's presence I'm sorry.
Don't care how big or buff dudes are, some people just have that fire inside and people know it and don't dare put their hand near it. He has it. -
as an architecture nerd that stadium is fire emojis, can't wait to watch games from there.

Yeah Calais sounds straight out of a PIxar Monsters Inc movie.
I was gonna say Chandler Jones because roids hookup with his bro, but then I remembered the synthetic weed and all around being a dumbass so he'd probably fail to show up that night because he got lost in his bathtub or something. So I'll go with James Harrison.
LIKE A MAN https://www.instagram.com/p/49YZiopFjp/
Plus he's like 37 now so he's got some wisdom and experience and of course; old man strength. Which we all know trumps youngin' strength.

Training Camp/Preseason Injuries 2016
in General NFL Talk
Posted
I think we can take Julius Thomas off the injury report as he never even missed one practice, and has continued making plays including this in the scrimmage
guessing that ankle is just fine.
even Marqise Lee is practicing again
He could possibly still make it back by Week 1, but it's unlikely he'll feel like himself for atleast the first quarter of the season, possibly more. So if he does in fact play he's gonna be out there around 75% or so. Shaving off parts of your discs in your back is no joke.
