Since when did Conditioning have anything to do with CATASTROPHIC injuries such as Seau's arm and Harrison's clavicle, just to name a few?
A) To nitpick completely: Rodney didn't break his clavicle, he broke his scapula.
B) It is indeed funny how many people think that our strength or conditioning leads to more broken bones. Maybe our guys need more calcium, maybe, but S&C can't prevent what happened to Seau or Rodney.
We play hard. We fly around and hit people. We give a ton of effort. That leads to more stress being placed on the structures of the players bodies, leading to more breaks (IE Rodney's TD saving tackle that broke his shoulder). And then there's just the unlucky ones like Seau that just have freak accidents that lead to horrible injuries.
