"But there are no studies that have ever shown that one training program is worse or better for reducing hamstring strains."
When asked specifically if the 49ers training every day without a lull in the action would prevent injuries, Safran confirmed that it would not make a difference. The orthopedic surgeon did add that over half of hamstring injuries in the NFL tend to occur in the preseason, as players ramp up their workouts as they get back up to full speed for the season.
I agree with this too. I actually think it's more mental in many cases. Young kids just going from 0 to 100 in all-eyes-on-me scenarios. I think veterans learn to make business decisions and don't get as caught up in the lights. You gotta teach them to work their way up the condition ladder. For instance, the second T.Moore got beat for that TD you could see on the reply he was just jogging. No need to go 110% there and rip a hammy esp. after coming back from an injury.
