With all the increased emphasis on player safety, to the point starters barely play at all in exhibition and training camp is heavily non-contact, I think sluggish starts around the league will be the norm going forward. It's almost like September has become one big exhibition month in terms of players shaking off the rust and offences rounding into form, except the games actually matter.
