No fro. It's the teams fault.

The 49ers fired their entire strength and conditioning staff after the last coaching change. The new staff wasn't hired by the same people who hired the old staff.

4 straight years and counting. ShanaLynch fired the previous regime but the same issues persisted last year to now.

I'm starting to agree with you here. 4 years straight - someone isn't doing something right. One freak year, maybe two but FOUR? And what makes this so confusing is that we have a YOUNG team so compared to those others in the top 5 most injured, we're easily the youngest.

With 2014 you could understand age and wear and tear took hold. But like you noted here, we went from 26th oldest to 6th youngest over night. It's been youth ever since since 2015. It's just not adding up. I'd like to blame Baalke as all of his players have shown injury tendencies to date (confirmed now), but we're still on the same trend so what gives?

We do look like we are not ready to hit sometimes, IMO.

I wouldn't say its totally baseless right now.

Just change out the entire staff every game until we get the right group, you know, the ones who are psychic and know how and when every player is going to get injured. I mean, these guys are professionals, they should just know, right???

How is S&C going to prevent a dude falling on or kicking another player in the head inadvertently? Players are bigger, stronger and faster. F=MA. It's physics.

You want to prevent injuries? Slow the game down. However, if you do that, it won't be fun anymore.

Also the soft training camps ran by kyle Shanahan are a factor of the players not being ready to play and getting hurt. I see them on snapchats and they spend majority of practice dancing and slapping hands. I miss my dude jimmy harbs the last real coach we had who made them practice like a real football team.

Injuries suck, but all teams get 'em. Some teams have already lost players for the season, so I wouldn't be that concerned about it. Going from no pads most of the off-season, to pads in TC and now the preseason games are all transitions players need to make.

Some of these injuries are the same guys getting injured again. Sometimes it just happens. You can be the strongest guy on the planet and be able to run a marathon but if your knee gets caved in or you get your bell rung there is nothing you can do to prevent it. ALL ATHLETES GET HURT. It can run in cycles so maybe we go relatively injury free the rest of the year. No worries.
