Great Nicks leaves practice; Frankin has MCL sprain

I never really understood why people blame strength and conditioning coaches or trainers for injuries. People get hurt, it's a tough game. Just because we have injuries doesn't mean it's anybody's fault.

That's a fair assessment.

But, as I pointed out a few weels ago, several reporters (mostly TP) were prepared to ask Coach Payton about the rash of Sports Hernia injuries that the Saints have incurred.

The question never was asked - fear of "public record?"

But sports hernia? Over ten cases? The question begs to be asked.

Now injuries and the NFL are a long, bad marriage; but when you see the same, multiple injuries, you have to examine training, if for no other reason, to rule out cause...

I just posted the guy's picture because you would think that if the guy is a conditioning coach, his essential essence, then why does he look like one of the Bubba Bros I enjoy Crawfish and Beer with?
