One thing we didn't get a lot of with Mangini was injuries. He had his thoughts on preparation and spoke during Training Camp each year about studies that had been done and methods he was using to minimise injuries. Rex didn't really mention that at all. We've seen guys go down on a regular basis this year starting at minicamps. Is it just a case of luck running out after three years of relative good health, or is it something the coach needs to address in terms of preparation and conditioning?
It's hard to say. The injuries yesterday were the result of guys getting their legs rolled up on in a pile so I think that stuff is unavoidable. However; the injuries like Strickland and Sheppard had kind of make you wonder.
