RedskinsInFebruary Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 All the ACLs? We've only had one ACL injury this year. I was talking about back through last season as well, but yeah they haven't all been acl's. A LOT of season-ending injuries though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This sucks and we seriously need to fire and completely replace not only the medical staff but the training staff as well. When injuries seem to screw us more seasons than not, when players are saying their injuries are being misdiagnosed and/or handled wrong, when injuries are a trend for us, then it's time to replace those whose job it is to help prevent injury and those whose job it is to heal injury. ^^^ THIS!! I can't think of a single reason why they should be retained.. This crap's been going on for far too long. If nothing else it'll be a fresh perspective! Please get this done Shanny!!

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Crud. That sucks for the young man. Just as he was learning his trade as a pro and contributing quite well on teams and spot duty. Rest, get healthy, rehab well and we'll look forward to seeing you as part of the 53 for many years to come Keenan. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinParadigm Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Sad to hear about Robinson. Like most draft picks that are being developed, he was all but ignored by most of this fanbase as a potential piece for the future. I hope he comes back 100%.

MrJL Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Add Chris Neild and Chase Minnifield to the acl injury list. Chase has the injury before he came to us. And considering he had microfracture surgery are you sure it was an ACL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Looks like Kehl is on KC's roster. Maybe Jonathan Goff?Edit- Nevermind just remembered Goff tore his ACL. Anyone out there with familiarity? Sign me up for Kehl... he can play both ILB and OLB... but what is it with these Texas Linebackers and there Pecs man? Geez... He's been balling! I hope this turns out well for us because I am all about this kid as a future part of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 There is absolutely no reason for this to go on year after year either. The medical and training staff isn't on the salary cap, bring a top team in to Redskins Park. Especially when you have a prize like Robert Griffin III, if he even scraps an elbow he should have the best damn doctors in the world looking at it. I'd almost be willing to start a kick starter fund so every Redskin fan can donate a couple bucks, we hire some top flight trainers/doctors and dispatch them to Redskins park so they get the freaking hint. I thought for sure Laron was just being sour grapes about his injury, but so far he has played every game in NY this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinParadigm Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Chase has the injury before he came to us. And considering he had microfracture surgery are you sure it was an ACL? Chase had microfracture surgery before the draft, came back and played in minicamp (or was it OTAs?), and then tore his ACL on the last day of that minicamp. Another sad injury story.

What baffles is me is that, at one point, we had arguably the most well-regarded Orthopedist in the world on our staff in James Andrews. Is he still with us? I remember even when he was here, we were still having these ridiculous injuries. It's not just the Redskins either. The Wizards are notorious for awful injuries, as were the Capitals. DC has a curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Looks like things are continuing from last year in the NFL. Several players had this injury last season and a couple players,(one in Cleveland I think),even before this season started. Tough injury. Hope it's not the grade 3 type for any of these guys.

truskinsfan18 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Here's a theory... Maybe the reason we have so many injuries has more to do with our coaching staff than our training staff? We are a team that does not use full pads in TC. We rarely hit in practice. Gibbs teams always had tough practices. Which is why I feel we went on those late season winning streaks. We were tougher and while other teams were wearing down we were still tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truskinsfan18 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 what does being tough have to do with tearing muscles? Maybe by tackling and hitting in practice these muscles get used to the pounding they will take in the regular season? And by being tougher they are less susceptible to tears? Not a doctor, but I'm sure there's someone on this board who could expand on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJL Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 yeah, there's got to be a reason running back careers got shorter as coaches made them run more in practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Markus White is on the Bucs practice squad but more of a outside LB. If not for Fletcher injury I wouldn't even worry about MLB, maybe give the Gamble kid a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsTillIDie Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 We're not the only team with injuries. Just look at the Cowboys this year, or Eagles. Or the Packers the year they won the superbowl. It's an unfortunate element of professional football, an element that seems to be growing as players evolve bigger faster and stronger. It makes every spot on the 53 man roster all the more important. And no, there's nothing a medical or training staff could have done to prevent Keenan Robinson from tearing his pectoral muscle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braindx Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Silver lining: it'll come back stronger.That's all I have. Muscles, repaired ligaments, and repaired tendons don't heal like bones and come back stronger. At most with ligaments if the one your body had was previously stretched out the replaced one will be shorter and more firm which is good, but the detrimental side effects of chronic inflammation in the joint during the recovery process somewhat negates those effects due to earlier onset chronic degeneration such as arthritis.
