Rez, even a dope would acknowledge that you don't go under the knife, just to 'fake it'. But I hear you. The hate runs deep in some of our fans.

Well damn.

I'd like to say this again... we need a complete overhaul of our strength and conditioning program. We need to modernize the way we train our players, how we handle their nutrition, etc.

I'm sure every team goes through their up and downs with injuries but man... it's been a re-occuring theme year after year with us.

It's probably just me but damn our Oschner Sports Medical staff just gives me bad vibes.

Same could be said for the Pelicans. Injury after injury after injury

Oschner were also the ones that misdiagnosed Delvin Breaux, and said his leg wasn't broken when it was.

As you say, bad vibes.

Papz I'm in the "football shape" camp that believes you have to play football to get into football shape. I know the league has cut a lot of contact out in the off and preseason due to risk of injury but it looks like all they did was Loomis injuries into the regular season. There is a level of muscle, joint, and tendon conditioning that only comes from full speed impact.

I agree with that. We only can control what we can but it still wouldn't hurt to try to optimize training the best we can, when we can.

I always wondered why more sports teams don't implement more yoga into their regimen. Maybe they do and it's not publicized but one would think it would pay some dividends.

Man I jammed my toe about 3 weeks ago and not only is it still purple, it hurts as hell. I for one will not rag on Thomas' turf toe. Sucks he's constantly hurt. He was on track of becoming a Hall of Famer.

First I heard of turf toe was Ingram (I laughed at first) then read a little. If recall it took over a season for him to get back to 100%. Ben Grubbs was out with it in the same time frame.

Yoga is/was offered on recovery days, Saints mentioned specifically. Now whether the players participate can be a different story.

Unfortunate ...

Doesn't sound all that good for Marshon either.

At least for the upcoming game vs the Ravens that is.
