PortisBetts Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 This season is all but over though. Expecting this team to do much with 2 all star offensive lineman plus another starter out and another questionable to even play is asking for a miracle. They were averaging what, 16 points per game with them in? Oh and our number 1 receiver is out, plus our starting slot (hopefully back this week) and third down back all out. Dont expect a sudden burst in production. I'm packing away my Hope's for this year. This is usually about the time of year this happens anyway.

Seems like you shouldn't need state of the art facilities for reasonable injury prevention. Seems to me, it's something you can do without fancy equipment. I mean what did players do decades ago, without this equipment and facilities, and they didn't seem to have more injuries ? I can perceive how state of the art facilities can improve injury rehab, but not seeing how it improves injury prevention. Not saying it can't happen, just asking someone with more knowledge on the subject, how it happens ? I think it's important to make an investment in prevention to keep your assets valuable so state of the art facilities is good, I asked the question because I really don't know enough about what we have compared to the rest of the league to say that a lack of facilities is the issue.

Kilmer17 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You start by admitting that something other luck is at work. And accept that what you are currently doing isnt enough. Then take a look at the teams with the least injuries and find out what they do differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, hire the best expert you can find in that area of specialty ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pure dumb (bad) luck is what it amounts to. Trent got his thumb caught in a facemask and it disloacted causing at least a little ligament damage as well. Not really sure how to prevent that. Thompson got laid out on a viscous hit and suffered rib cartilage damage. Not sure how to prevent that (other than not getting hit). Last year Thompson got piled on and snapped his leg in half. Not sure how to prevent that. Now, maybe with some of the more minor stuff like the hamstring pulls or what not.... maybe there are things we are/aren't doing that could aid in recovery, etc... I won't speak to that considering I have no knowledge of such things. But for the injuries that have REALLY hurt us.... yeah, I think it's luck.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Damn this sucks. However the season is not over at all, imo, get them in the building and coach them up. This is part of the NFL. We still have a shot, let it rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure some things are luck, but the reason we have been in the bottom of the league for something like 10 out of the last 11 years isnt bad luck.

You hit the ail on the head a second ago, stop taking injury risk players in free agency and the draft acting like you getting a steal. Losing this many in one day is the other end of that equation, it's not dark magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 30 minutes ago, TryTheBeal! said: This is the kill shot for the Jay Gruden era. We will have the excitement of a clean slate rebuilding project for 2019. And honestly, I can live with that. I highly doubt he's gone. He was 5-2 going into that game and still have the division lead. If anything this injury news gives him an excuse for missing the playoffs. I'd add his contract goes until 2019 and like all coaches contracts is fully guaranteed. If anything Snyder is cheap, so why would he cut bait with Gruden & Co. only to pay them for 2019 along with the new cast of coaches he brings in? IMO Snyder will keep Jay, maybe make some minor changes, but clear house the following season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Snyder does think a lot about money. So he may wait until 2019. He should remove everyone from the old Tampa Bay crowd all at once- Bruce Allen, Jay Gruden and the current " General Manager", Doug Williams.

desertbeagle85 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Well this team wasn't a playoff team before yesterday's injuries. So yeah we are done. Just another year being a Redskins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Brutal. Some I can accept, that's the way it goes. Others, well when guys are injured year after year at some stage you got to kind of see the obvious trend and move in a different direction.

Sticksboi05 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 When you don't spend usable money for O-Line depth, and you sign injury-plagued guys to big contracts and rely on a guy who has missed 46% of the past several seasons with injuries, this is what you get.

Playaction2Sanders Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Welp, we're gonna find out how good Alex Smith is, because other than us having Reed and the Dline this year.

Boss_Hogg Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Injuries all over the league. The Falcons are missing two starting guards and their stud RB.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The Richardson injury is bewildering to me. Maybe I’ve just missed it, but nothing had led me to believe he was an IR candidate. His frustration with Alex has been on display in limited showing, just the ‘wtf’ faces, arms up and helmet grabbing that I’ve noticed. Guess it’s not worth the pain to not get the ball.

FunBunch7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Am I off in thinking we keep an extra tight end in tight... more moving pockets... If Crowder could ever get back it'll open up the WR screen... Maurice Harris stepped up big time, albeit in garbage time... but he can actually catch a pass that hits him in the hands (cough cough Docton) Also, since we aren't a huge deep threat passing team how about more of Jordan Reed AND Vernon Davis in the game together... one will pose a mismatch. Instead of going in with a RUN first game plan... we NEED to commit to the intermediate passing game. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
