Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ty Powell just got carted off the field during 11 on 11's. Seems to be in a lot of pain. Not good As per Rex, it looks like it might be a torn ACL which would mean an end to his season dang another one, We did so well with injuries last year. Did they change the strength and conditioning program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 All of this can be attributed to a mysterious cosmic energy that consumes the universe, but, for the time being, has fixated on Pittsford, NY, specifically on the professional football team called the Buffalo Bills, which is currently training there. Yep. That's it. I am not a rocket surgeon, but I studied under masters of physics in the shoutbox. It is all about barometric pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 general conditioning goes along way in injury prevention. Certain injuries maybe, but ligaments? I don't think so. @TyDunne Ty Powell was finally settled in at MLB. #Bills had high hopes even with Preston Brown running the show. Losing him a big blow for D.

GunnerBill Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Certain injuries maybe, but ligaments? I don't think so. My soccer club Arsenal appointed an American conditioning expert 12 months ago who had worked with the German National Team before that - Shad Forsythe - who says that is about training movements and not muscles. I don't know the science behind it but we suffered fewer ligament injuries last year than the 2 or 3 years before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of these regimens are widespread in pro sports because there are always quite a few knee injuries despite most athletes being in excellent condition. In football, when you have collisions happening at such high speeds or put the body in high stress change of direction situations, injuries are just part of the deal.

TSOL Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wasn't there talk of IK being suspended for cleaning Geno's clock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewyLouie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wasn't IK the intended replacement for Wynn? No Wynn is an interior lineman and IK is an outside rusher. I thought Wynn was their best reserve lineman they had last year. Didn't miss a beat when he came in to give the starters a breather. That injury really hurt the depth of D line. The depth on the D line was a key to Buffalo's defense. I hope they can find someone who can replace him adequately. I don't have any confidence in Alex Carrington. He had one good year but when he left for more money he stunk. He couldn't even get in hardly any plays on his new team. He stunk there so maybe he was just a one year wonder. We have to hope Corbin Bryant's injury isn't very serious. We really need him now that Wynn is out for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) i still don't understand why nike or underarmour can't design a comfortable light weight knee brace that wouldn't hinder normal movement. It doesn't have to be a bulky thing made out of steel - I would think they could use modern technology and strong light weight materials to make it as non-obtrusive as wearing a knee pad. You would just wear it like any other pad just for protection and as a preventative measure. Edited August 17, 2015 by stevewin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Maybe paying Brandon Spikes a little more money would have given us a spare MLB. No saying he would have made the team with Powell in a backup role...but with this injury, it sure would have been nice to have Brandon Spikes ready to go.
