Many of you may know the name Mackie Shilstone as Fitness Guru based in New Orleans. He's actually quite the accomplished fellow in both business and health with some of the top names in all of sports coming to him for training and fitness...

This is an excerpt of a recent article of his...

One of the most amazing statistics (is) that in the entire 2010 preseason, nine players suffered Achilles' tendon tears. In a full season, the NFL usually averages about eight per year.

The good news is the saints have not gotten any serious injury's, nobody is going to miss a year or half a year.

We have alot of nick nack injury's and a small few will miss 1-2 games into the regular season.

I think a lot of player have not done enough during the lockout. I mean its all cute and dandy tor jog around at Tulane but thats not gonna get you into football shape.

The players had a self-interest to stay in shape and keep themselves practice ready. Within a month of the actual resolution, the season was clearly and unambiguously going to begin within a week of being "on time." I don't blame the lockout per se, I blame the players. Lockout or no, it is their responsibility to show up prepared.

All teams have strengths and weaknesses, and it seems our trainers and medical staff need a healthy review...

Should unabated, objective criticism be limited to veterans like Stinchcomb?!?

And our Head Strength and Conditioning Coach should have his arse in better shape, if for no other reason than to project credibility of his status...
