Drafting a new LT and letting Colt McCoy get killed next year isn’t a bad idea. Think about a rookie LT contract over the money we are giving T-Will. It is in our best interests to evaluate all roster spots and their representative value. Trent is arguably one of best bargaining chips. Throw Nsekhe in there at a bargain of the cost. Resign Scherff. Plan on two new tackles in the next 2-3 years. I may be the minority, but Trents value isn’t going to get any higher. William's wont get much in trade. I think the better option is to draft a quality LT in the first or second round, play them at LG for their rookie year, then swap Williams and the drafted player. Williams is an expensive guard, but this is offset by a LT on a rookie deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we did this song and dance already in another thread, but essentially it's acknowledged that you can't avoid the bolded. There are plenty of other injuries that you can help prevent, or rehab better, or avoid, and I don't think our S&C staff has done that. Quote The second primary goal is to reduce athletic injuries. To that end, conditioning coaches often design regimens to strengthen body parts that are prone to injury in a particular sport. Andrew Moser, Strength Coach at Iowa State University agrees, saying, "Student-athletes can have a great training plan that improves their speed, agility, strength, explosiveness, etc., but if we can't keep them healthy and out there competing, then all of the training improvements don't help us." Thus to prevent athletes from getting injured during training, conditioning coaches must know the correct exercise and lifting techniques and be able to teach them to athletes. The conditioning coach also monitors athletes' general health, sometimes providing nutritional advice or referring athletes to a registered dietitian if they need more sophisticated nutritional counseling. https://us.humankinetics.com/blogs/excerpt/strength-and-conditioning-coach https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317172542_Sports_Injury_Prevention_The_Role_of_the_Strength_and_Conditioning_Coach If you want some light reading.

There's no merit to it whatsoever. The whole premise was that he works the offensive line before and/or after the normal practice, and that the extra practice is causing injury. First, if that were truly the case of a lot of extra practice, the NFLPA would be all over it- practices are already very limited and half of the week practices are walk-throughs. Second, if Callahan's methods were indeed the cause of all of the OL injuries, you would see a pattern in his past coaching jobs. He made it through three seasons with the Jets and Cowboys, and guess what? Each year was a remarkably clean bill of health all things considered. It's this article- https://thefandc.radio.com/craig-hoffman-bill-callahan-partially-to-blame-redskins-injuries. I find it hard to believe Hoffman has a background as a physical trainer, since this opinion is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my thought vs your opinion on the article vs what Hoffman said. He sees what he sees. He's in a better position than we are tbh, so I wasn't brushing it off is all.

Or do things that help speed up/improve/recover from certain injuries. We have so many lingering injuries on this team too. Again, not talking about the Alex Smith/Colt McCoy stuff. If you want to infer that we're Top 10 in injuries for 4 straight seasons just to bad luck also, by all means. I don't buy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I would be interested to see what the stats are on the injuries we incur at home vs on the road, because fedex field is usually a terrible mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
