theesir Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Good find!! I'm not sure how some can criticize this hiring. He's just a conditioning coach... The Bills had the most players on Injured Reserve in the league last year. They hire a strength coach who has no pro experience, having only worked with young players, learning to shape their bodies out of high school. I think I can justify criticizing this....

truth on hold Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I hope he tells them to get a lot of rest and doesn't over work them. My strong suspicion is the former s&c coach was a gung ho type who pushed them too hard, which accounts for the excessive injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStranger76 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 When 22 guys end up on IR, people have a right to criticize. Now, I don't know anything about the guy but I am VERY sceptical bringing in a college guy with no pro expirience. I hope he's good because I'm equally concered about finding a good DC as well as a good strength and conditioning coach........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to knock it, but to be a strength and conditioning coach at any level you probably need a bachelor's degree in exercise science and know your way around a gym. Unless the new guy has a special sauce that would prevent guys from breaking their bones, then I don't think it matters who they hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

300yrds Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I am unsure of this guys record as far as injuries and time missed due to injuries. I am not defending him, but you do know that a college football rosteris much larger than an NFL's, and most D! schools have trainers that handles 2-3 teams(all different seasons). Anybody who is S&C at these schools normally graduate with atleast a masters from a D1 sports school and stay in the same program. Because of the workload involved at the college level most of these guys get paid way more and recieve better benifits for their families by staying in college. The guy could be a complete bum for all I know, but there are reasons to stay in college and not move to the NFL. Heres to staying healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Now....where did I put the tar and feathers? You'll find them with all of the stuff from your last party. The Bills had the most players on Injured Reserve in the league last year. They hire a strength coach who has no pro experience, having only worked with young players, learning to shape their bodies out of high school. I think I can justify criticizing this.... Yes, having a degree in the field and only working with kids leaves him wanting for the pro level. I don't think it will be a hard adjustment for the man. I get the impression that some people just like to criticize for the sake of criticizing. Unless Hell has frozen over he should be better than Allaire.

The Big Cat Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Don't expect any miracle drop in the number of IR'd players since: We have young players. We had a defensive scheme that called for small players. We will still have some young, small players playing in the cold. We had, and may still have, a porous O-Line that lets bodies fly in every direction. We might still have to fill injuries with scrubs, who, when they get dinged up, will be replaced with other scrubs, thus dropping initial scrubs to IR to free up cap space. EDIT: I meant "roster" and not "cap" space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
