News: Dallas Cowboys: Shoe comfort blamed for rash of foot injuries

[dallasdave]

Facts do not matter when it comes to finding a way to bash Jerry Jones Jason Garrett or both And yes bad shoe design can cause foot injuries that is a fact

Maybe Williams needs to rub some bacon on his foot

 

[dallasdave]

Seems like a maneuver to get out of some shoe contracts to me.

You hit the nail on the head.

Because what you did running around decades ago as a prepubescent is relevant to what 315 lbs DL do.

It was a reply to his condescending nature.
I didn't have any fancy, smancy space age polymers invented by NASA, the shoes weren't designed to meet the rigors of a 400lb humanoid by a fleet of biomedical engineers to withstand the shock of professional athletes getting paid millions of dollars by a multi billion dollar company to perform at the highest levels of human athleticism.

I was only wearing $5 shoes, might not even have been less, made of canvas and rubber on pavement, climb a couple of trees, wade in a couple rivers, creeks and such, protect me from the sticker patch down the street and they were probably pretty worn on the bottom.

I didn't have a team of trainers, doctors or physiologists to pick the right tread pattern for the surface I would be playing on, or ensure it had the right support for my activity or body type. All I had was my Mom, who told me to try them on and just asked me if they pinched. Even without the latest and greatest technology and medical consultants, I never managed to break a toe, even when I got my foot stuck in the spokes of a bike.

Here's some of the newer problems...Another former NFL team doctor said he suspects the new synthetic field surfaces create too much traction, especially when players wear traditional screw-in spikes to dig in deeper on those fields.

They look like clown shoes......not football cleats

Did it hurt a lil bit?

I rubbed some dirt on it and it was fine.

They should make shoes out of dirt and foot injuries would be solved

 

[Rayman70]

maybe the problem is with what the players do in their BVD's

The whole thing is ridiculous. They brought this on themselves needlessly, they know why there is a rash of foot injuries, they state it in the article

“Why this sudden rash of fractured fifth metatarsals team wide? Answer was: Shoe comfort is taking precedence over suitable support.”

I am not a podiatrist, but feel safe to say, if the cause is lack of suitable support......... wait for it............ get suitable support.

It's like the old joke "Doctor help me. It hurts whenever I do this" The Doctor "Well stop doing that." Sometimes it's not rocket science, just some common sense.

We had good dirt back in those days, not like this new fangled dirt they have now.

Not us, they taped a salt tablet on the problem...

Maybe that's the real issue - too many teams, including the Cowboys, don't play on dirt anymore?

Gotta have that rug and a closed roof, they're better to host concerts and boxing matches.

Open curtains too. Can't forget that.

Learn to differentiate more than your own posterior anatomical body part...Junior.

This was an OP posted that included some serious stuff...and not a run by trolling operation. Try keeping up to the implied labels, as always is the method of the usual on post trolling members. Feel at home yet?

My first non-thread enhancing comment was aimed at someone making fun of the suffering and actual energy required in over coming such injuries. I don't play that game...not really sorry for you, if that continues to be your type of associations.

You missed all merit of being a man, as a man doesn't need to denigrate to a whole group of whipping boy excuses, to look like a boy. If you can't handle that, grow up.

That or just return to your sillie dillie thingie...

I'm concerned with an operation on both Williams and multiple for our starting defensive tackle...

Dam dude, did somebody piss in your Wheaties or did the wife say "not tonight".

We just had another school shooting in Texas...and the attitude that someone suffering means nothing, is out of bounds by many in our society. Yea, to laugh about a player going under the knife does kind of piss this fan off! If one wants to make light of someone, do it to their own sweet butts.
