It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Oh no no, I have it on good authority (Patsfans forum) that every team has injuries and the idea the Patriots suffered from an above average number of them relative to other teams this year is hogwash.you think it has something to do with the staggering number of injuries?
Part of the strength and conditioning/training staff's job is to evaluate players' physical makeup spotting weakness and imbalances that could precipitate injury and then train them accordingly. It could be that after learning the specifics of injuries to players like Blount, Dobson and Easley, BB concluded they possibly could have been prevented (or rendered less severe) with properly administered strength and flexibility training, etc.How in the hell can you even make the assumption that Blount, Dobson and Easley were IRd because of issues with strength/conditioning ? Seriously, we dont even know the exact reason Blount and Easley ended up on IR but in all three cases we have tape that shows that it was not a non contact injury.
How would a better strength/conditioning coach prevent the ankle injury Dobson suffered ?
Seriously, claiming things without any evidence whatsoever is pretty irresponsible.
IIRC he had a former Navy Seals guy as his "strength coordinator"; I'm sure he'll bring him to San Fran. People down here in Philly rag on Chip's methods now (SMOOTHIES REALLY HELPED US EH CHIP) but a lot of them worked. Make them a little less fascist (sleep monitoring) and they probably can work in the NFL.Hire Chip Kelly's guy. They had the least amount of players lost to injury for the past few years I think. Its proven to work. Maybe its Chip. I'm not sure.

Not all injuries of course, but possibly enough of them to warrant a change in strength/conditioning staff. That apparently is what BB has concluded. I'd think the non-contact injuries would be especially telltale.I am aware of that but by that logic basically all injuries that happened could be somehow attributed to deficiencies in training. Especially also non contact injuries like ACLs. I very much doubt that any scientist and especially not BB will be able to gain any conclusions in the majority of our injured players as to how much they were caused by insufficient prep. We are not talking about a dozen hamstrings here.
Cheating?Hire Chip Kelly's guy. They had the least amount of players lost to injury for the past few years I think. Its proven to work. Maybe its Chip. I'm not sure.
Gronk being dehydrated would that be on him?
The OL could get pushed off the front steps by a Girlscout selling cookies, so I am not surprised by this move.
I remember I went to a gym once in Denver. I was in great shape, but could not even bring myself to complete my regular workout. Was as bad as being severely hungover and took me awhile to figure out wtf was going on.Guessing that had more to do with altitude than anything. The more muscle you have, the more oxygen your body needs. When you're playing as hard, as fast, and are as yoked up as Gronk, the thing air could have more of an effect on you than others.
Anecdotal evidence; my best friend is training to be a firefighter, and a mentor from the academy told him to be careful not to add too much muscle before the fitness test. He said a lot of guys come into the test being absolutely carved up, but are so big that when they're lugging stuff up a stairwell, the body's simply not getting enough oxygen.

hey, cookie-selling girl scouts are mean.
Instead we have nice things like five (5!) AFCCG appearances in a row, and a collection of Lombardi Trophies other teams covet.If the receivers failing was due to a intricate system and demanding QB then I agree I think its more talent- injury related.
If the system is that complicated we should be simplifying it.
If we cant have nice things like Allen Robinsons or Martavius Bryants of the world then the system needs to evolve.
Also how much do you wish we didnt cheap out on Emanuel Sanders damn.
