I don't believe in bad luck 5 years in a row.

First and foremost, they need players that can standup to 16 games a season. Let's look at the decision to keep Lauvao last year.

You expect him to miss games. His backup went down early in the preseason, that was bad luck. They don't find a dedicated backup and have to shift the line when Lauvao does breakdown, week 3 or 4. Then they start bringing in guys off the street to play and they end up injured because 2 weeks earlier, they were working out at 24 hour fitness and they aren't used to game speed. If they had replaced Lauvao before the season started we might still have Alex Smith at QB.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but Chico was calling this shit out in preseason last year.

Actually Dan and Bruce are in charge.

Jay has plenty of faults but you haven't pointed out any evidence that any decision Gruden has made has contributed to the task of injuries.

But, who needs evidence when you have so much certainty...

It just seems like Jamf just want a scapegoat to blame on, and honestly we cannot blame Jamf for that. We have had terrible luck with injuries last few years, bad enough for it to ruin our season (especially last year) and someone had to take on the blame, might as well as blame it on Gruden.

The "Aww shucks, bad luck struck again" approach doesn't work for me 5 years in a row.


It's the coaches responsibility to right this ship and he hasn't done it.

What has Gruden done or not done that you disagree with regarding injuries?

I don't think practices are physical enough and I don't think players get enough contact when coming back from injuries.

Team practices and hitting are regulated by the NFL but I don't think Gruden maximizes the time he does have in camp and coddles the the players too much. I didn't care for Marty Schottenheimers Oklahoma drills when he was coach but at some point in camp and during the year you have to get the players used to hitting and being hit.

Which injuries from last year (2018) do you think would have been prevented or lessened by more hitting in practice?
