Is there something wrong with our strength and conditioning program

[LocimusPrime]

Are all of these injuries just coincidental? Lee got a concussion, Romo clavicle, Dez broken foot, free injured foot, Leary groin, Martin shoulder / neck, gachkar was limping off last night, Gregory high ankle sprain, witten all his knees and ankles, Dunbar Torn cal/ mcl, new receiver pulled hamstring. I'm probably leaving out 1-2 players.

Injuries are part of the game, it just seems that we lose 1-2 players each week. Could it be the way we approach strength training and conditioning? Could rooms injury have been prevented with a little more shoulder or upper body strength ( just posing the question, I personally think it was the way his body was positioned when the linebacker fell on him)

Same staff last year, haven't heard anything about changes in the program. So how did we make out last year on the injury front?

It's just a horrid run, nothing more or less.

I've been wondering the same thing. Actually I've been wondering it ever since the season we had to use 100 different defensive lineman. I think the general industry consensus is that we have one of the best training staffs in the league but I question that myself.

Just got the injury bug this year

We need to work on our bone and brain strengthening protocols. This can't keep happening.

stuff happens....

hard to imagine its just all a coincidence. this is really aggressive. the hits just keep coming. maybe that old voodoo curse from jimmy johnson is real.

You think Randle is suffering from some kind of synaptic pull? It's like a tweaked hamstring, it just seems to linger.

Technical term is 'terminal brainfart.' I'm told it's incurable.

How do you train to prevent broken bones? Hamstrings and maybe groin strains could be a result of training methods but the other probably are not.

I completely agree with you OP. How dare they not give those players calcium injections for those broken bones and melted rubber band injections in those knees. I mean how smart do you have to be to be proactive and have Martin practice in a neck brace? Fire them all!

Strength and conditioning prevents pulled muscles and gets guys physically ready to play. It can't prevent knees or QBs getting landed on the wrong way. Dunbar just tried to do more than his body could withstand.

Hard to say. We didnt get hit with many injuries last year, but injuries killed us in 2012 and 2013

They need to stop drinking HEB brand milk and get the real stuff. They have the cash!

No amount of great strength and conditioning could've prevented a good number of these injuries. Just some freak stuff.

I think they should do proactive ACL surgeries on all playerss before they get injured. They say the surgically repaired knees are less likely to get injured than before surgery.

Maybe some fans have really good ACLs and could donate them.

 

[links18]

Dunbar is still around if he isn't subjected to the risk of returning kicks. That one is on the coaches.

I have it on good authority that deflating balls leads to better health.

I would like to see a long-term study on that actually. They initially thought that about Tommy John surgery for pitchers in high school and pro potential kids were getting surgery proactively. Now we're seeing more pitchers needing repeat surgery and even a 3rd. I think we're just reaching the point where the human body can't physically take what they can physically do. I know I've seen quite a few players have repeat ACL tears to the same knee in recent years though.
