Tomlin Says It's TIme To Shape Up

Yikes.

I was always really injury-resistant, but one time in high school our coach had us do sprints right at the beginning of practice, pre-stretches, and he made a big deal out of how he wanted to see how fast we were, like he was evaluating us, to make sure we were all running our fastest. I pulled a hamstring (which hurt like hell), missed a couple months of summer ball, and had to deal with it my entire senior season, including one tweak that cost me a quarter of a game, plus physical therapy to get me on the field the following week. I thought my coach was ignorant, but at least he wasn't getting paid much.

If it's true that they never even bothered trying to prevent injury, I almost want to say we deserve all the injuries we got.

 

heck, i have a whole rant over in my thread about it. i have been a proponant of getting rid of giemont too from around here. i still am.

 

Those "little hamstring injuries" have plagued certain key players like Woodley and Troy the last couple of seasons and as a result, have negatively impacted our defensive performance.
