Our training room and Staff ranking near the bottom of the league is PITIFUL

[jblaze2004]

Look at this: This is how we rank compared to the other teams in the NFL. (32 teams).

• Training Room................................ C (27th)
  • 75% of Cowboys players feel they have enough full-time trainers, ranking them 30 out of 32 teams.
    60% of players feel they have enough full-time physical therapists, a rank of 32 out of 32.
    95% of players feel they have enough hot tub space, a rank of 9 out of 32.
    88% of players feel they have enough cold tub space, a rank of 13 out of 32.
    Players report that the training room is understaffed, particularly an insufficient number of physical therapists. They also feel that the training room lacks certain modalities found in most other NFL training rooms.
• Training Staff.................................. C (30th)
  • 72% of Cowboys players report that they receive enough one-on-one training treatment, ranking them 29 out of 32 teams.
    The players feel that their training staff slightly contributes to their overall success, ranking them 31 of 32.

I guess, player's getting back on the field after suffering an injury isn't very high up on Jerry's list.

I always thought the training staff needed a big overhaul.
Seems the players get a lot of soft tissue type injuries. And those turn into longer than expected time missed. Or more major injuries.

How many times have we heard 3 to 4 weeks, only to be 6 to 8 weeks or longer. Way too often.
1 to 2 weeks is 5 to 6 weeks.

Player will be ready for TC, only to be on PUP the entire camp.

So yeah, I can see why they are at the bottom. Is this Jerry being cheap, or just not hiring the right guys. Probably both, it goes hand in hand.

Thats money coming straight out of Jerry's gross income. Sure they expense it, but it's still a chunk of cash out of their pockets. That said we don't know what Jerry spends compared to other teams. It might be that we just have a bunch of spoiled, unhappy players in the locker room voting. This poll is based on player's feelings and they are coming off a disappointing season with a lot of frustrated injured guys.

It is possible Mad Genius believes he pays his players well-enough that they should get their own trainers. Therapists. Portable hot tubs...

Not every player has 5 million reasons that can do that.

Question is if any of this is policed or acted on from the players association?

I think it was in the predraft press conference they acknowledged this, said they were surprised, and said they were humbled by it and fixing it... whether they do or not remains to be seen, but nice to hear a humble response and a commitment to address a problem.

I mean, I'd expect that response in a press conference. I do recall McCarthy complaining about having enough support on the coaching side so the same being stated on the medical side isn't a surprise. I'd be interested to know what the ratings were last year compared to this year.

This is Jerral not valuing coaches and staff. He is required to spend cap money, for the rest he is a miser, except for what he pays himself.

Exactly. The man owns a $250 million dollar super yacht, which he does not need. He does need the best possible training staff and facilities to help compete with the top echelon of the league but does not do so. Make that make sense.

All in.

The cheapness of the Jones family knows no boundaries. They’re operating this team on a Jacksonville budget.

I wonder when this was taken. For example, based on our number of injuries last year, I would think we'd rank low in rankings by players. If you're not as beat up, you probably feel better about the number of physical therapists the team has and about the amount of one-on-one treatment.

It would be interesting to see the rankings compared to the teams with the highest percentage of injuries last year.

Very doubtful they do anything to fix it. They had very very poor scores in 2024 as well.

The team tries so hard to protect players from injuries during the summer that it probably leads to injuries once the games and hitting starts. They keep holding everyone back by not playing starters in preseason. Once the regular season starts players start dropping like flies.

This is the often not discussed cheapness of Jerry. Oh he'll spend money on things that he can show off - The Star, his yacht, etc.

But he's notorious for being cheaper on behind the scenes stuff so the notion that the Cowboys players feel that they are understaffed/underserved by the Cowboys training/support staff is hardly surprising.

With his money, Jerry should be at the top for training staff, facilities, nutritional/diet staff support, etc. The fact we tend to wallow in the bottom half to third of the league is embarrassing.

 

[Mr_437]

There was mention of this issue earlier in the offseason, and players said they need more staff. The surprise for me, is apparently the Cowboys don't have the proper facilities with all that glitz and glamor for tours, yet Jerry won't take care of his players??? Smh.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

If anyone in the Dallas media ever has the guts to bring this up to Jerry, I can already imagine the word salad response he would have.

so, this is the next thing for us to complain about? Whats next? Height of the toilets?
