Mike Woicik to blame for bad back epidemic?

This is definitely Stephen King!

Curious George

 

[robbieruff]

In a game that costs so much to play, and takes so much to win, accountability has to be strict!

With the so many spinal injuries it really begs the question. Could all this be avoided by a regiment of strengthening the posterior chain and core through regular exercise?

The injuries are huge:

Tony Romo - Herniated disc
Tyron Smith - Bulging disc
Dan Bailey - disc issue
Demarcus Lawrence - disc issue

Maybe Mike Woicik needs to be held accountable.

This team has a history of this. Does anyone remember the hamstring epidemic that was pretty much cured with the firing of Joe Juraszek?

Quite frankly I don't know enough about the dude to say one way or another. There's certainly a pattern going on but it cud be coincidence. I have followed quite a few discussions on the topic of injuries in the league and one notion that has struck me is the rise of injuries and the NFLPA's agenda in recent years to limit contact and intensity in practice. Ironically their attempts to "save players from wear and tear" by limiting practices in pads, etc., may be diluting the physical endurance to withstand the beatings bodies take during the games. I know I for one am astounded at the seemingly increased injury levels across the league. Are players being injured at a higher rate or are we just more medically adept at diagnosing? Concussions being a prime example of that. Makes u wonder.

Did NE have back injuries issues while he was there?

What about the first time he was here? I don't recall to many back issues?
