brown bomber Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm not gonna down play it. We've had injuries to a lot of players already. The two that concern me the most are Brooks Reed and Coleman. They really haven't been on the field a lot and are key at their positions. I hope they are not injured most of the season.

Tribal Chief Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 This is normal at this time of the year. There are only minor injuries and the players are being held out accordingly which is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I actually think we're doing alright. Lamar Holmes is our only PUP guy. I'm more concerned about the lack of injuries. That's what makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD597 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hope this is just slight nagging injuries. If we have another year of 10+ guys on IR we are doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apl2g Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think this is normal. Guys get minor dings trying to get in football shape. They are being held out mostly for precautionary reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Im not concerned. For the most part, the injuries we have are relatively minor (except for Holmes) and the training staff have been doing a good job of not letting anyone rush back.

Lornoth Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If this were the regular season, I have a feeling Reed would be playing. Honestly we've been incredibly lucky with injuries so far, unless both our RB's are still out week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconcrest58 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 We've been lucky so far to not have had serious injuries in TC. The OL recovering from last year's injuries worry me because our OL depth sucks. Coleman, Freemam and Reed will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring It Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 INJURIES are a key factor today in the NFL. They will decide if you rise........or fall. Today's NFL players spend 40-50 weeks of the year in the weight room, but most teams are riddled with hamstring injuries from Day 1 of training camp then ankles, ACL's and concussions once the season starts. It's as predictable as Donald Trump's ego. Never ending. The game has actually come down to "what team is the last one standing", come January. Injuries are what the NFL is all about today.

gambysquared Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 When you're out there trying to compete for a job in that heat, I'd say we're doing fine. They're taking precautions and compared to the rest of the league I wouldn't sweat it. We're just all antsy for some football. Still a good chunk of time to get healthy and smash the Eagles.

AtlantaFanatic Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Talk to a Jags fan and get back with me. Draft Dante Fowler then watch him immediately go out for the season before TC starts. We are doing ok. I actually expected to have more guys hurt at this point. We haven't had that cart come out on the field at the Branch yet. *knock on wood* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 We never should have let Jeff Fish take the fall for our terrible coaching in the 2012 season. I still can't believe they did that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigglypuff Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 My dear Good man, to partake in American Football fandom requires the inevitable roll of a die and the immutable spin of a fortune wheel. Which star player shall taketh the fall this juncture? He whoever shines bright... he whoever shines dull? All men are created equal, therefore my Good brethren, as justly administered by He on High, injuries befall the entirety of mankind.

It's called adjusted games lost and its broken down by offense and defense. Here's where we have ranked since 2010:2010: 1st on offense, 6th on defense2011: 11th on offense, 16th on defense2012: 7th on offense, 21st on defense2013: 27th on offense, 23rd on defense2014: 30th on offense, 12th on defenseSo the last two years have been pretty nasty. Given that injuries typically don't correlate from one season to the next, I would expect some regression to the mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
