Big Turk Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Too much training...its like your car brakes...they only have so much use in them before they need to be replaced... You only get so many cuts/change of directions before the ACL gives out...these guys have been training year round since they were kids in a lot cases playing the same sport all year round.

SoCal Deek Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The Chargers are notorious for a long list of injuries. Seems to happen to their O Line every single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretching is key. I wonder how many of these athletes properly stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps but that still doesnt change the fact these are mostly overuse injuries. Why did these injuries almost never happen in the old days? They rested in the off season and worked normal jobs instesd of training all year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Turf instead of Grass has had some impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the size and speed is probably part of it. I don't think overuse is actually part of it. Proper strength training the muscles in the legs is key, Smith probably was training properly. The size and speed is probably the biggest factor, proper stretching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
