I think it's mostly because of the physical nature of the team. Vrabel likely demands more out of the bodies of our players than most teams do. Changing the strength and conditioning wouldn't do anything, it's the price you pay for a physical team. Which is another reason the Buffalo/Kansas City/Cincinatti model is more sustainable and successful.
Yep all those missed tackles are tough on the body
It's football...players get hurt. You can't "strength and condition" or coach your way out of concussions, broken bones, ligament injury etc etc when you have 200-300+ lb grown men flying around TRYING to punish each other. Plus the pile ups etc that happen in football.
They just don’t make football players like the used to. Oh I stubbed my toe I’m out for 6 months. The moneys ruined them. I know injuries are unavoidable in football but these days seems most don’t care how many games they miss because they’re paid so much.
At this point, I think everyone that has anything to do with medical and conditioning involved with the team needs fired.
That should help with our slew of injuries, but doubt it helps our offense playcalling

Coaches/GMs also have to protect their high dollar investments... Hold a player out 2-3 games or risk losing (and paying them) them for 10+.
I'm sure there's some of that happening...for the most part though, it's just that players get hurt and it's no longer acceptable to send players out there seeing stars or with bones protruding from their skin.
I think this is mostly the case actually. NBA started the trend, all the other leagues have followed suit. It makes sense, albeit frustrating
I don't expect it to happen, but it becomes a lot more likely least for the Jags. Colts have virtually no hope since we hold the tie breaker. But a loss this weekend means that week 17 might be played for the division. We're traveling across the country to play SD, and that generally doesn't bode well for the traveling team.
what GoT said pages back... 'load management' and it dont make sense in football why Titans are the only team, seemingly, to be doing it

The Titans have half a dozen people to tape ankles, and I can't find a single person related to strength and conditioning in their job title.
The Eagles on the other hand have several sports science and strength and conditioning staff. It's almost like that kind of thing is important...
Edit: I found two people for the Titans, Frank Piraino and Tyle Rouse, who are titled under sports performance in the coaches section. That's it.

Time to hire DDP. Those guys will be ready.
DDP Yoga?
Yep. Injuries decrease a lot with some yoga.
I do t actually know how that would effect diet and other gym necessities but I would think very little.
Nobody has mentioned it, but is that Derrick Morgan Vegan Diet chit still getting passed around the locker room? These boys are brittle as F!
I doubt it, that was years ago and they never went full vegan
