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.

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.
Persistent, soft tissue injuries are on the training staff. At some point, people have to held accountable.

Or Mike Evans is an older player and they are being cautious after he woke up with a quad more sore than usual.
So, what's the excuse for the younger guys then (not including James, obviously)? Calf strains, quads, hamstrings, adductors...

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.
Wait, so we can't criticize or question anything now? What's the point of having a forum then? Gimme a break. 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.

Are you guys thinking that there is something we are doing that is leading to torn ligaments, and broken bones? Seems like these two things have been the most common injuries for us.

Muscle tares and muscle strains are going to happen in football.

Stretching and warm up habits differ from athlete to athlete, does each player do this correctly I doubt this can be quantified as an issue using science and data.

I'm not buying the stupid ass substation conspiracy, but it is more than a coincidence that we are top 5 in injuries/games lost since shanny came around. Is it something we are doing/not doing in practice? The types of training we have them do? The type of offense/defense? The age of roster? I don't know

The team has been getting ravaged by injuries all the way back to the Harbaugh era.

Every single team has to deal with injuries, but in 2014 -- no NFL team had it quite as bad as the San Francisco 49ers. After the season was well and done, the 49ers had the most games missed due to injury than any other team in the NFL.

Injuries and one big suspension made them a shell of themselves and unable to compete with the NFL's best. It's not just the number of players who missed games, but more importantly, it's who missed games.

This s**t continued under Chip Kelly and Jim Tomsula as well. It didn't begin with Shanahan.

Can't deny the injuries rose with the expansion of that substation and the teams move to Levi's.

Not trying to jinx the Chargers, but I was watching a mic'd up clip of Mike McDaniel at the Chargers practice... and he randomly let out something like "everyone is still here, they (the team) are doing something right... I haven't experienced this in a looong time".

I'm thinking a lot of it is they are to tight, not enough elasticity.

Chargers are the one team that has seemingly been more injured than us every year
I don't feel it's the number of injuries as much as the guys who are getting injured. Too mnay key players are being lost for mi=ultiple games or the entire season. Many of the major injuries have happened to key starters like Bosa, Warner, Kittle, Purdy, CMC, Aiyuk and Pearsall. Bosa has lost nearly 2 complete seasons to injury. Kittle has lsot several games. CMC and entire year. Same for Aiyuk. Those injuries skew the overall injury report.

That we have no superbowls, when we've won 5...are you even a fan? Or are you just really young?

Quote the post where I said "we have no superbowls." Hilarious that you straight up lie about something I said; then the good ol are you even a fan question. The young question itself is a young minded in and of itself; but you do you man

They can't make that same claim. Emm doesn't play offense. They could only muster up 13 points in each game.

if we had our starters in the last regular season game, we send them on the road and one and done in the playoffs

Instead; they got their second SB before we got one.

^ I'll do it for you since you nobody will find it. Talking about this? I guess you can take it that way as someone saying we don't have any SBs. If you follow the posts and the context of it; you would know what I meant. Hell the guy that I quoted ATT knew what I meant. Reading comprehension can be hard.
This is an NFL problem sure we seem to be one of the most injured but its daily that you see a torn MCL or ACL or whatever. These players are too muscular I don't remember anybody looking like nick bosa in the 80's 90's. The muscles get bigger and the tendons and ligaments stay the same size. The injury problem has turned me off football over the last ten seasons because its just sad to watch all these injuries. It sounds silly but we need less weightlifting and more yoga I think.

That's not silly at all and can very well be true. Football in all aspects is just a lot more soft than it used to be in the 80's and 90's as well IMO. I say that because back in the days they would play through a lot of these soft tissue injuries and we wouldn't even hear about it. Now; they miss time for "contusions" and every little thing.
