The Patriots must truly have the most inept strength and conditioning coaches in the league. Really embarrassing.

Is there a way that strength and conditioning can prevent a broken bone? I thought that was more about preventing injuries such as muscle pulls, and ligament tears.

According to a source, look for Matthew Slater to be out 4-to-6 weeks with wrist injury

Patriots WR Matt Slater has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist.
Slater doesn't play on offense, but he's the special teams captain. The Patriots have already used their short-term injured reserve spot on Shane Vereen; he has a broken wrist of his own. Slater may be done for the season.
and there it is.
I'm still in favor of leaving him on the roster and letting him heal rather than IRing him, if that's the timeframe. In general, I think that having a guy of Slater's caliber for the second half of the season and into the postseason provides more benefit than 4-6 weeks of a guy who's most likely just going to be a gameday inactive during that time.

So much for my hope that Slater would emerge as the secret deep threat for the offense.

I thought you were being sarcastic but you're totally serious... :bricks:
FWIW, New England had the 9th-fewest games lost by starters last season.

The team that led the league in fewest games lost last season, the 49ers, has not had much luck this season. Michael Crabtree, their #1 WR was seriously injured and will miss a huge portion of the regular season. Patrick Willis broke his hand but was able to play week 1, although he is not recovered yet. And the 49ers had 4 starters leave the game with injuries last night.
Injuries are a part of the game, and they can happen to even the best conditioned teams. Don't make this into something it isn't. Don't make things up. There's way more than enough of that going on already, quit adding more bull**** to the pile.
I agree with this nonsensical to the point of insane comment.
I'm excited to see special teams speedster Blount step into the gunner role.
The brazzers and porn booth comments somehow altered my ability to read because it took me 3 times before I realized you weren't saying that Slater would emerge as the secret deep throat.
And what's even worse is that we should have that player on our team as a current DT, and backup position to Wilfork.
Cofield had potential, but unfortunately we let him go.
Okay. So when do they put him on the PUP list? He's just a special teamer that should've been cut anyways.
