I posted this on Thurs, but not here. 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.

Since you linked me to it in a different thread, I'll commend the Rams but honestly ask you: Are you aware that such efforts are a league-wide effort, years before this WSJ article on the Rams was posted? Feel-good stories are naturally going to be released on the latest SB champion. In the last 30 years, you select the year and I'll bring you back a feel-good article.

It doesn't help the article at all to mention what's going on league-wide or with the worst team in the league, for example.

But...

In 2019, the NFL partnered with Amazon Web Services to transform player health and safety using cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The NFL and AWS are developing tools to generate better insights into injuries, specifically the impact of game rules, equipment, and rehabilitation and recovery strategies. One of the partnership's primary goals is building the capacity to predict injuries before they occur.

– The NFL and AWS are building the Digital Athlete, a virtual representation of an NFL player using actual NFL games and data that can run infinite in-game scenarios to understand the impact on player health and safety.

So again,...and honestly answer doc,...but were you aware that the NFL as a whole is in on things of this nature and are collectively collecting data on such measures like nighthawks?

Were you aware of their partnership with AWS to improve exactly what you're saying the Rams are doing as well?

I sincerely hope you don't think they have crafted and engineered such things on their own. Lol but naturally, in a feel-good article, the WSJ isin't going to mention this stuff. It appears there because it's not for the everyday NFL fan that might cross-check.

If the Bengals had won we would've gotten roughly the same article about the "advanced" things they are doing under the league's umbrella as well.

While watching games yesterday it seemed like they were showing an awful lot of teams listing players as out for todays games. Buffalo has 4 defensive starters out with one out for the season. This after 2 games.

I heard some rumors that the league may go back and revisit the restrictions placed on teams in training camps. The feeling is too many players aren't getting in proper shape.

Man, I've been saying that for years. There's shape and then there's football shape...that is both physical and mental. You saw the injuries and dumb penalties week 1. How poor Kyle's teams start years. Then week 2 looks better. The issue is there are only 17 games. 1 game can be the difference between making the playoffs and not.

Long-time reader, rare caller. Close this thread, it serves no purpose. Just highlights things beyond our control. Talk about injuries in the player's thread, not here. Put it up for a vote.

A certain poster feels like he OWNs this thread and he'll bump the hell out of it till the wheels fall off.
