I still think we need to do something about our training staff as we have had so many issues with soft tissue injuries the past 3 years. I'm not talking about ACL tears. That is just bad luck.
If our office and coaching is up to snuff we should be in the playoff race.
I don't know how you can coach differently so players don't get injuries other than having no contact at all in practice. That doesn't help for the games though. Players do stretching exercises but there's only so much you can do. You can build muscle strength but you can't work out and make your bones stronger or your ligaments stronger. Unfortunately all the bulk that layers carry now can easily lead to more injuries like the one where the player fell on Bosa and bent his knee.
I never said anything about coaching differently to lessen injuries. I said something needs to change with our training staff. Every training staff is different on how they run things or implement their techniques. It goes far deeper then just stretching well.
no
