Which are more prone to injury OLinemen or DLineman?

For example, look at Ereck Flowers and Gurley. I know we are talking about OL compared to RB but this is just an example. Prior to last year would anybody say that Flowers was a better player than Gurley? Of course not. So, why is Flowers getting 30 mil and Gurley getting released? Longevity. Are DL or OL lasting longer? I feel that quality OL last very long. They also play every snap as opposed to a DL that will almost never play a full game. Way too many factors are involved as the ones mentioned and what about scarcity? Quality OL are much harder to find than pass rushers.

Maybe because they are typically holding their ground vs defensive lineman who are pushing forward which is a more natural movement.

Or in the Giants case over the last 7 years are mainly backpedaling or falling down lol.

Some guys just seem to stay healthy and if they get injured they come back as strong.

Although players seem to come back from horrific injuries it seems more are breaking down earlier. I look at the last good Giants OL. Snee, Diehl, Ohara, McKenzie, Seubert. They all seemed to be cooked by 32. They you have Peters, Whitworth as outliers.

it's roughly the same statistically for Oline and Dline men

the positions most at risk, injury wise, are the mobile positions LBs, DBs, WRs, and TEs

and RBs

the 4-3 RDE is prone to injury, going up against a 300 lb LT run and pass, puts inhuman amount of stress on the body. Thats why I prefer 3-4.

Strahan was a freak who did the Giants a disservice by making them think he was normal.

Strahan also somehow played better later in his career after shedding some weight.
