Dallas Cowboys: Shoe comfort blamed for rash of foot injuries
https://thelandryhat.com/2018/05/17/dallas-cowboys-shoe-comfort-foot-injuries/


Collins ranked second on the team with 5.0 sacks. In fact, as a rookie, he was one of the NFL’s fastest players from snap to sack according to Next Gen Stats.

...This rash of very specific foot injuries has to be a real concern for the team’s medical staff. And according to one longtime Cowboys insider, they believe the shoes are to blame.

“Trainers will be very cautious with [Maliek Collins’] rehab, meaning the projected starting defensive tackle’s return might not be until midway through camp, if that,” wrote Mickey Spagnola of DallasCowboys.com. “Why this sudden rash of fractured fifth metatarsals team wide? Answer was: Shoe comfort is taking precedence over suitable support.”


...Make no mistake. These types of injuries cost players valuable time and possibly millions of dollars. For the Dallas Cowboys, not having their best players on the field can cost the team in the standings. And, in turn, they can kill playoff berths and a title runs. Repeated injuries across the roster means both the team and the players need to step up, educate and implement the necessary changes to minimize any future issues.

30 years ago they were laced up and tied tight.

I came into this thread thinking it was a joke... it is, just not the funny kind... smh

Shoes and arch support are important in terms of maintaining proper protection for your feet. When the foot is exposed to the sort of pressures that pro football players exert on their feet, anything can and does happen. I learned this lesson early in life, as I had flat feet and suffered the consequences that it entailed. I'm glad to see that sufficient protection might be a possibility in the future, as this team continues to exert their best chances to maintain their health. Foot health is essential to any athlete, especially in a sport as stressful as pro football.

Garrett excuse number 87...its the shoes man.

Good points. But wouldn't teaching proper technique be just as, or more important?

The NFL mandated new helmets...you saying that was a joke on fans and naivete? Now don't switch to butt sore and say what does that have to do with shoes?

In terms of maintaining foot health? Not sure what you mean -- good technique is essential in any sport. So is good arch support and proper shoe fits.

This is great. The team may not win much, but they provide plenty of entertainment.

What is entertainment for foot operations for Williams and Collins? ...please do explain.

Because the team has inadequate equipment. Can’t make this stuff up. Good job, boys!

Who said prior to this? I guess the team is responsible enough to find where change is needed...but NO, only a preppie thinks injury and operations are humor for the taking.

I think the push to be lighter faster more explosive is giving way to the sensible approach of protection. A few years back players had to be made to wear thigh pads and knee pads, and even to this day many wear their pants above the knee. Today's players resemble Ballerinas in helmets. Whether the players see it or not they are a major investment and provide no dividends if they can not be on the field.

Could make the difference in millions for the player, and a top notched player for the team.

If you buy off on reasons using such logic...find a mirror and just laugh.

Injury costs the team more than the player...(never mind, back to your playing in the street)

Try topic discussion instead of laughable cliché number 5,000...and no, the Cowboys, with top of profession medical personnel and facilities, aren't into games,

 

[jazzcat22]

Next excuse...Jersey to loose or too tight caused us to lose.....

 

[Hardline]

Anyone who uses the shoe excuse for foot injures should be laughed out of the room.
