Really? I could use some extra cash traveling across country for the home opener this weekend!

See you there. Maybe i can persuade ya in person.

Just realizing that DID NOT sound how it was intended. I'm a married man for christ's sake...to a woman nonetheless.

Kudos on the gif though. Made me laugh through the misery of the revolving IR door.

It was from an article in WSJ, Thurs edition about the Rams and their computer assisted following of all their players, which has led them to be the healthiest team in the NFL since arrival of McVay and a new S & C coach. Basically it is the same program we have seen on other athletes, multiple body parts are tagged and then followed via computer . Basically they are treating injuries before they happen , thanks to info the computer prints out. Won't go into it more than that but check out WSJ article from last Thurs.

I would love to see us do something like that because whatever we are doing…isn't working. For all I know our S & C guys have a program like that too…but if so, i've never heard a peep about it. Check it out.

Now this is why this thread really exists...a platform to track and talk about health theories, strategies, philosophies, league-wide trends, etc.

Great stuff Doc!

Feel free to post the link. I'd love to read it!

Here you go:

www.WSJ.com/ the Rams strength and conditioning program.
For some reason the site didn't highlite. So type in the above or "The Los Angeles Rams have a secret weapon." Either title gets you to the article, and its a pistol

One factor associated with increased injury risk is play type (running vs. passing), with previous studies having shown that concussions, hamstring strains, Acromioclavicular joint injuries, and shoulder injuries are more likely to occur during passing plays (2,6,9–11). Conversely, fractures of the distal fibula are more likely to occur on running plays (16).

After stratifying by position, the results were intuitive as quarterbacks (OR 6.9, 95% CI: 3.6–13.3), receivers (OR 5.0, 95% CI: 3.7–6.6), and defensive backs (OR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.9–2.7) had the most significant increased risk of injury with passing plays, whereas running backs (OR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.3–0.6) and linemen (OR 0.7, 95% CI: 0.6–0.8) had a higher risk with running plays. This is consistent with previous literature showing higher injury rates with passing plays in wide receivers and cornerbacks, but not running backs (7).

Burke, J, Geller, JS, Perez, JR, Naik, K, Vidal, AF, Baraga, MG, and Kaplan, LD. The effect of passing plays on injury rates in the national football league. J Strength Cond Res 35(12S): S1-S4, 2021-The National Football League (NFL) has one of the highest all-cause injury rates in sports, yet our understanding of extrinsic injury risk factors is limited.

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of play type on injury incidence in the NFL. We obtained data for every regular season game played during the 2013-2016 seasons from the official NFL game books.

There were 2,721 in-game injuries during the 4 seasons examined, with an overall rate of 1.33 injuries per team per game. For statistical analysis, p < 0.05 was considered significant. Passing plays conferred significantly higher odds of injury than running plays (odds ratio [OR] 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3-1.5, p < 0.0001). This primarily stems from increased risks in quarterbacks (OR 6.9, 95% CI: 3.6-13.3, p < 0.0001), receivers (OR 5.0, 95% CI: 3.7-6.6, p < 0.0001), and defensive backs (OR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.9-2.7, p < 0.0001).



Our study suggests that passing plays confer a greater risk of overall injuries in the NFL when compared with running plays, specifically regarding concussions and core or trunk injuries.

Since the "analyst" seems to never respond to these types of queries...
