Its football, and every team rolls the injury dice every week.
There's no way to control how someone else will fall on your ankle.
When teams/players attempt to maximize strength, speed, agility and flexibility
they have to walk a fine line and the problem is, not one size fits all.
Either in training or during the mix, somebody's going to tear something
or rip something, or get something torn or ripped. Injuries are a part of this
game and the Saints have to figure out how to successfully cover for our fallen.

We get the "plague" more than others. Regular season is one thing.... injuries before the first preseason game... That's just poor conditioning. We also seem to have the majority of our problems before week 1...

There is not enough focus on connective tissue strength.

I played the game, have lived with a torn hamstring most of my life because of it.. I know the risks involved..
