Devin Thomas Injured

Ade Jimoh Fan Club · 07-24-2008, 03:52 PM

According to the redskins blog (http://theredskinsblog.com/): "Devin Thomas just walked out to the practice field with a wrap around his hamstring. It’s supposed to be a couple of weeks. I like being wrong on this one."

I think he was just trying to get out of the two-a-days... (kidding)

injuries like this (muscle/soft tissue), yeah, the staff is absolutely a factor. the strength and conditioning staff though, not bubba (like some in this thread have suggested).

however, that does not mean someone is at fault in this specific instance. these things are to be expected at the start of training camp. if we have another season like last year though, where it seemed like everyone was suffering hammy and groin pulls/strains, then the staff needs to be held accountable.

i made a thread on this very topic last year but i'm too lazy to dig it up.

My fault I thought the trainer was the same person is charge of over seeing conditioning programs and what not. John Hastings is that person not Bubba.

How much does the heat factor in to this kind of stuff? SO HOT OUT HERE!

Ruhskins · 07-24-2008, 04:24 PM

I guess with the repetitiveness of injuries, makes you wonder if the conditioning staff is missing something. I mean look at St. Louis and how f'ed up their season was mostly b/c of injuries.

dude can we stop it with the Campbell got a splinter or Cooley has I.B.S. threads.. Its football if your not sore or hurt you ain't playing

Our training & conditioning staff sucks....we've got more hamstring pulls and injuries than any other team in the NFL!

OR

Maybe we're the only ones hitting the news because we started camp before everyone else. Most teams don't start up until tomorrow and it's HOT out there. Maybe the training staff would be kind enough to prescribe some Valiums for the "sky's falling crowd".

As far as Devin Thomas is concerned it's not that big a deal. I mean I know a lot of people around here want him to be ready from day 1, but the reality is that Moss, ARE, and Thrash are probably going to be the top 3 WR's on opening night so to me it's not much of an issue so long as it doesn't end up being chronic.

If it happened next year then I'd be really worried, but the truth is that Kelly and Thomas are probably going to be brought along slowly and even more ironic is that of the three "pass catchers" Davis might see the most playing time, at least during the first half of the year.

Also Mix and Kelly seem to be doing pretty good so it's not like we'll be without big bodies for Campbell to throw to.

I see your point, but when you're top rookie is going to miss 2 weeks of camp, it's threadworthy.

Check out other team's training camps, the injury bug should be hitting them just as hard.

good post dirtbag. I agree it's not too big a deal for the team. I think it sucks for him cause he's gonna be behind in camp. Someone else will now have to take some of the flanker reps in practice.

HOpefully he & Kelly or Mix will be able to earn some pt by week 1, but like you said they may see little time at first. that's gonna be a competitive spot in camp.

10-14 days from what i hear, which isn't really bad at all...

Carted off is probably thread worthy

So its only a matter of time before people start calling for the team to fire the training staff right?
