I was listening to Tim Ryan on NFL Sirius the other day and he mentioned that serious injuries were often tied to how aggressive your strength and conditioning program was. He mentioned that when he played for the Bears and they changed their strength and conditioning guy the number of IR injuries rose significantly. He felt that it was a direct result of having a guy come in who didn't make the guys work out religiously or who didn't condition them properly.

Given we have made a change from Simmons to Kenn this offseason, who thinks that we will have less IR injuries, more, about the same , or believes it isn't related to strength and conditioning but more likely just bad luck.

i do believe that strength and conditioning plays a major role in injuries. guys need to stay in shape through out the entire year.the nfl season is long and brutal, and it takes it tolls on the human body. hopefully kenn can build muscle endurance/mass in all our guys to keep them off ir.

quick question for you what was dwill injury again? was it a foot sprain? or something worst.

Foot sprains can be pretty serious, often worse than breaks. There are several degrees of sprains to the foot or ankle.

Here are 2 articles about it:

Given he was put on IR you would have to believe it was a serious injury/

The last guy we had was considered one of the best in the league.

I also know injuries are a fact of life in the NFL.

Would be nice to think injuries will go down, but I'm not holding my breath.

Simmons did get strength and conditioning coach in the NFL in 2003. I wonder if like Fox he got complacent or kept the petal to the floor over the past several years.

On another note, if he is one of the best, did anyone else pick him up. You would think he could at least go to a college program.

i dont know man i think it was serious but i dont know if it was IR serious.....i remember there being reports that there was no doubt D-will could have come back this season and in fact would have been hurt a shorter length of time than even sutton's injury

Injuries are a part of the game, however with good drafting, you can overcome them. (Packers circa 2010-2011)

Injuries seem worse to us for two reasons.

1. We have in depth knowledge of the team.

2. We have been a really bad drafting team in the lower rounds for years.

It's not just about strength, it's also about proper form and technique. If you're always where you're supposed to be and you're not caught trying to make adjustments all the time you're less likely to be in a bad position. Being in a bad position can put you at more risk for getting hurt.

I think we're going to see a difference, but I have no idea what it might be.

This theory in motion:

DeShaun Foster (upright runner)

Dan Morgan (leads with his head into a pile, or the other guys helmet, or the ground, or, really, anything. if it is matter and it is solid he would lead with his head into it)

The conditioning theory in motion:

Kris Jenkins (simply too fuging fat not to get hurt)

Smith I think fits into both. I don't know if i remember correctly, but wasn't he not into stretching as much as he should be and then he tweaks his hammy? The other way he gets hurt is by simply going all out every play, which with his size is the only thing he can do to get production, to give that extra effort in order to come down with a pass

I'm sure it was a mix of both conditioning and technique

i think it'll be up to the vets to motivate the young guys to stay in shape. i know they get paid to be fit, but so does the military. you'd be surprised how much work senior leadership (enlisted of course) has to put into keeping guys motivated. before i separated, i knew plenty of kids the exact same age as the players on our roster last year. whether you're preparing for a deployment or a football game, kids are kids. i know cause i am one too. we need more vets.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
