And this is what we’ve found to complain about this morning? You go tell Big Gus he’s a pu$$y lol
 
im asking. is this normal? that's it. its not a complaint it just seems like we have a crazy amount of injuries last two years. maybe lack of depth is causing my focus on it.

No,.. This is not normal,..........if you're playing flag football!
All teams have injuries,.. I for one, couldn't even name one for you, as I don't follow anyone but us, and for a couple hours every Saturday, whoever's beating up on UF/FSU.
We just don't have extra peices to plug n play.
 
No idea on our S&C head, but it is concerning when our OL cannot push a SSU DL backwards on strength alone. They should've been mauled as they were a lot smaller than typically defensive lines at this level.

Yes, injuries will happen and seem magnified when its the team you follow. I remember a bunch of people being injured in Bama's defense last year, in fact all of their starting linebackers at one point, as it was a talking point if you watched a game of theirs.

Gus is new to the business. I'll admit I was concerned that he is so overweight as you're trying to teach fitness and strength, the first he's obviously not. That doesn't mean he doesn't know his stuff, but injuries do happen.

Typically if an injury could've been avoided, there's usually only two things that went wrong. One, they were worked too hard without enough recovery time between that time and the injury. Secondly, an issue was missed that was brought to attention. I don't see them being overworked and the second wouldn't be on Gus's plate if he directed them to the trainers that start the identifying process when someone says something doesn't feel right.

Didn't we get through all of preseason with one real injury of note -- Irvin. That seems like a wild success to me.

Strength and Conditioning is fine to me. Big Gus was an offensive lineman. The problem is Stacy Searels. The line has poor technique and can't pick up blitzes.
 
First I assume in your opening statement you meant "had injuries, not "head injuries".

A broken ankle has nothing to do with S&C. Looks like Seantrel Henderson broke his ankle yesterday. He got rolled up on by a 300 pound man. Falling on your ankle has something to do with physics not S&C. I have no idea what happened to Rossueau but you cannot blame that one on Gus.

Walton injury, see above. 2 guys fell on his leg.

Richards - meniscus injuries have nothing to do with S&C. You possibly could make an argument for S&C for his hamstring issues.

Wilder - Neck injury. Nothing to do with S&C.

Irvin - S&C is a mute point with him. Clearly he has never taken off season workouts seriously.

Herbert? That dude was injured in HS.

Evidence - There has never been one shred of proof that an ACL has anything to do with S&C. NFL teams lose a couple players a year to ACL's. They have the best S&C programs that money can buy.

If you want to point to S&C issues look at the OL. Much more of a solid argument there.
 
So everyone busts nuts all over Bama S&C right? What about least year when half the defense was hurt? **** they are missing 3 right now with injuries that need surgery. The oline being weak, guys putting on too much mass and losing speed, and other issues sure, but injuries that happen at every school and in the NFL, doesn't have some magical S&C fix.
