Injuries the last 2 seasons

The last couple seasons have been rough. Dozens of injuries on defense especially, The Strength & Conditioning coach/staff are mostly unchanged the last 10 years and we didn’t have issues before.

Dan said we are not doing any joint practices this season and called them counter productive. I’m guessing that our injuries played a role in that decision also.

The team had 26 Hamstring/Groin injuries the last 2 seasons. All of them at home games or in practice. Something needs to be adjusted to correct that. 12+ per season is awful and just those alone will destroy every season.

Some are just random like Hutch’s leg or older guys like Davenport are expected but piling up non contact injuries either means it’s S&C staff, practice or diet related.

Honestly the sample size is small enough overall I still think it’s just rotten luck, but man have we had a lot of them the past couple of years. Some of the most starting-minutes-lost this century (and, as I often bring up, the only two teams in the top 20 to have winning seasons).

If it weren’t for Lion luck, we’d have no luck at all.
