Why Have Dick Jauron's Teams been so injury prone???

[bigbub2352]

I dont know the reason
But i can tell you this, i have not seen a team so riddle with injuries the last 3 years like our team

It could be that DJ doesnt practice them hard enough in the training camp and preseason, they are not getting there bodies ready for the full 16 game seanson?

It could be we have drafted and signed a bunch of injury prone players?

It could be that after Russ left our strength and conditioning team has just not got the job done?

Also questionable calls on putting guys on IR and waiting around for them to heal just to have them have little or no impact cause they came back to early could be a major factor?

Sorry but it seems to me that this team is brittle, i know the arguements injuries happen every year, but ours the last 3 yrs have been at key positions, and we are more and more banged up after every game, just dont remmember it being like that
any thoughts?

It could all just be coincidental.

Look around the league man, injuries happen. Look at the Giants! They had 2 best DE's out and they're still playing well.

Injuries were really significant for us last year, although most didn't appear to be lack-of-conditioning related. This year, I don't see our injuries as being any worse than anhy other team's, and not nearly as serious as some.

Agreed. For example, last week, the Jets' injury report was similar in significane to ours.

Exactly. The Redskins had their two starting DE's injured the first day of training camp this year. Is that because they run a soft camp? Injuries have happened everywhere, not just with the Bills.

The number of injuries may be just because they play hard.

maybe not on the offensive line, but overall we're pretty undersized.

our lineman are just pussies.

Our training staff sucks donkey balls.

Small fast defenses get hurt when they collide with big slow offenses.

Re: Why Have Dick Jauron's Teams been so injury prone???

I know injuries occur all over the league, just saying we have been dealing with alot since Russ left, and DJ and his staff took over,

The point is the last 3 yrs not just one single year

I know what your saying and completely understand your point.

I just can't say whether or not the Bills are more injury prone than most teams without some hard evidence or fact and right now I'm too damn lazy to look anything up.

I don't know about that church...I don't see us taking out a lot of defensive players and clearly we have the biggest and slowest offense on the planet.

Players play hard for Dick.

He's coached some piss poor teams in terms of talent level. So much that this year's team is the most talented team he's ever had and that's not saying much.

Don't get me wrong, what has been built so far is a good start but we've still got quite a way to go in terms of talent level.

Thurman Thomas is on WGR and he just talked about that and said he thinks it has ALOT to do with their trainer. Apparently the Bills old trainer now works for the Bears and everyone there say that under him they feel the best they ever have in their lives. So...take that for what it's worth...
