I don't understand something, the last few practices there's been one or more guys getting held out because of some minor injury or small tweak of something. But for example, Evans and Black are out of practice today and while KB didn't finish the previous practice, Evans did. My point is how do they keep having player(s) out of a given practice with some ailment when they usually finished the last practice just before. When and where the hell did they get injured between practices is what I can't figure out.
It's because they are now extremely cautious with very minor injuries.
If guys have hangnails in August I expect them to miss time.
Or Mike Evans is an older player and they are being cautious after he woke up with a quad more sore than usual.
We all want the 49ers to succeed. Sometimes, calling out obvious patterns that need addressing is necessary.
Why don't you call the Niners and tell their training staff what they're doing wrong.If you can't have a constructive convo regarding the team without resorting to junior high girl retorts, maybe it's time for a break
Sure you can criticize but if you think they're doing something wrong that infers that you know how to do it right. It's easy to criticize but I doubt anyone on this forum knows a way to stop the injuries.
Not necessarily.
You can come to that conclusion just by interrupting data.
The fact of the matter is the team has been top 10 in injuries for 12 out of the last 13 years. If it was just a luck issue you'd expect there to be variance in those rankings in that span of time.
If the team was one of the 10 worst teams in the league 12 out of 13 season you'd probably be correct in suspecting there is an issue with coaching and/or talent evaluation despite the fact you've never coached or scouted a day in your life.
