But conditioning and flexibility can help stave off injury with soft tissue stuff. I can't say for sure the Redskins are lacking in this area but we tear pecs, hurt hamstrings, hurt obliques, hurt calfs, all that kind of stuff, we seem to have that market cornered. I do question whether there is too much focus at Redskins Park on brute strength and not enough on flexibility.

If that is the focus then a likely cause is dehydration the inability for muscle to retain water in the first place but also dehydration is the leading factor in sports related injuries. Regardless that goes back to conditioning.
