Lenigmusx Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Why did so many of these players get released for failing their physicals? is this becuase our strength and conditioning coaches were that bad under Jauron? Maybe this was the weakest link in the whole coaching staff for years. Frankly since we let Rusty Jones go. Correcting this problem alone may be able to pick us up 3 or 4 wins that we didn't have. If you think about how desimated our rosters has been the last 3 years then you realize the team was usually only at about 65% in terms of how many 1st string player would see the field each week. I think this is perhaps the most overlooked weakness of Dick Jauron's tenure in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be because some those players got injured last year and they are not recovering? Or maybe we have no plans for them in the new system? I am happy that we brought in TWO new strength and conditioning people. We can also use a little bit of luck in the injury department to go with their skills.

I think this is perhaps the most overlooked weakness of Dick Jauron's tenure in buffalo. It was Greggo's staff that removed Rusty from the position he'd had so much success at (through a "promotion") but most coaches have a history of bringing in "their guys." I imagine Rusty wanted to get back to doing what he did best. Hopefully the focus-area approach of the Bills' two new additions at the position will work. They need for it to. At the same time, the freak broken legs / arms / spinal injuries have more to do with happenstance, being out of position, and not being right for the position than anything else. In a way, Jauron's staffs would have been in part to blame for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurlyBurly51 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Another Rusty Jones is god thread? He has been gone for a decade. Coincidentally that also represents our playoff drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was with the Gregg Williams staff in a different role. He was S&C coach until 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected, but he was removed from his position nonetheless. I admire Rusty as much as anyone but there surley must be other capable S&C coaches.

As a fan of the team for ever, I can't reall a now 5 year run where I came to expect many devasting injuries as the rule of thumb, vs. most unfortunate. Fergy, Butler, Kelly all seemed to return in-season and be produtive. Now we go from a, IDK, 2nd and 6 -early in a Sept. game, to retirement in 5 months.. I agree, we lost a few games each year as a direct result. Can't help but be optimistic with the new-forming staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
