A hamstring injury to a speed guy is like a shoulder injury for a QB. Hopefully he doesn't have a history of hammy problems...we need him to be a threat.

he's being groomed to play moss' spot (flanker), so he didn't have much chance of cracking the starting line-up anyway. hopefully moss can stay fit though.

This team needs to take out thier tampons and stop being girl men!

So Laron, Chris Wilson and Devin Thomas all have leg mussel pulls/strains.

Is Bubba Tyer and co. to blame for these injuries. What about last years, has nothing changed in their approach to conditioning. I just dont get it.

Injuries are going to happen, and muscle pulls are common early on in camp. Why do people always need someone to blame?

This is an excellent point folks. Everybody be cool. (and pray for santana's hammies)

God obviously hates us, so I blame him/her.

Im not blaming Bubba, and I resepct the fact that he's been with our team for so long. Im just asking is he to blame. If injuries wernt happening no one would be asking about injury prevention; being its obviously taken care of. Hamsting and muscle pulls seem to be a reoccuring theme with our team, more so then others.

I thought it was a little over the top when Malcom Kelly walked over to Devin Thomas on the stretcher and said "Now who's faster, biatch?!"

Seriously, I hope the injuries subside once everyone gets back into playing shape. Instead of blaming someone (ie Bubba) for the injuries, it's possible that everyone is just playing hard and putting forth a lot of effort. Not a bad thing, although we could do without the injuries.

I was wondering how long it would take.

People keep trying to tell me the training staff is not responsible for this sort of stuff.....but I insist it is a factor.

Yeah no doubt- I don't need someone to blame, but there's no question we have more friggin hamstring pulls than any other team. Unless it's a total fluke year after year (which I strongly doubt) or there's something in the water, this has to be, at least in part, a training issue. STRETCH and MASSAGE your damn hamstrings guys!
