clownorg Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 knees & acl's are next to impossible to condition against an injury.now if we were plagued with pulled muscles, hamstrings and stuff like that i'd question the training staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgb4real Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 its a part of the "luck" the falcons have, unfortunately just bad luck! any takers on whether we will get to see chris redmon before this season is over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defensewinscliche Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 it says nothing about our strength and conditioning. these players were hurt on freak plays. getting rolled up and blowing out a knee or ankle, is not something you can chalk up to attrition.

mikeghc Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 it says that in the nfl, huge, strong men are paid a lot of money to knock the #### out of each other, and sometimes you just don't get back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverfalcon Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 if you take a look around the league, these incidents are not only plaguing atlanta. i think it tells me that injuries at this level are often severe and occur commonly for those who play the game.looking to blame a strength and conditioning coach is a bit of a reach.i tell you what it does tell me, it tells me that the author of this post is dying for some typing and debate time.nfl= injuries every single week wheather they are mild or severe. go play some tackle football with the fellas for a few weeks and tell us how your strength and conditioning has worked for you.

ice37 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 as a college strength & coach, i can tell you, some acl injuries can be attributed to the sc coach, but the ones i have seen, dont count, theres no knee on the planet that can withstand what grady and foster had done to them, its physics, x amount of force this way, at x angle, = ligament snapthe finneran one was due to some earlier issues,i cant blame evan, hes a pretty good coach, and he cant do much, with 1 offseasonnext year will be his test.

defensewinscliche Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 yeah, but wtf aren't our ol wearing knee braces? it's not like they're running 40 yards or needing to make 90 degree cuts... college ol have been wearing knee braces as a precaution for a while now...college olineman dont face nfl dlineman. when you wear 2 knee braces like most college olineman, you really sacrifice your lateral movement. you cant give up that movment when you play tackle in the nfl.
