We did not have injuries like this with Parcells. The constant carousel of players on the injury report doing light duty. It was an epidemic before Parcells and we're right back to it again.
If only I could put my finger on as to why? It's a mystery.
the 2004 team tells a different story. I am well aware of the stories of how uncomfortable the training room was in the parcells years. the funny thing is the guys who always tell those stories are the guys who always played hurt anyway.
julius jones was banged up right away his rookie year, he traded for quincy morgan who limped around with a hamstring problem most of the year, the entire secondary had nagging injuries and guys would just turn up inactive on gamedays. thats how we ended up with hall of famers like tyrone williams showing up and blowing games against new orleans in december for us.
it happens to everyone, even the greatest ones like parcells.
