Players and fans may like it but a bad idea. The trend is moving away from spring games to avoid injuries. Just asking for trouble IMO.

Is there data to support your claim/trend?

I have no data but recall reading articles that seem to suggest this is the trend including this one:

If memory serves me right, I thought this was part of the reason Coach Kill went the controlled scrimmage route. Even Claeys says a spring game is dependent on having enough healthy players.

The past couple years have been all out/full contact. Just O vs D instead of Team M vs Team G. Likely they will still use vanilla plays, protect the QB, no KR, etc. If I'm right, the actual play and risk of injury shouldn't be affected much, if at all, because they are playing an inter-squad game. I hope.

I hope your right. I determined last year's spring game to be a success because I saw no one carried off the field. Unfortunately, we still managed to get a bunch of injuries during the season which I thought was odd. Here's to good health!
