[QUOTE="TJV, post: 518618, member: 4300"] Before the season McCarthy talked about preventing injuries. He focused on changing the schedule of TC and preseason to (as the author wrote) “help battle fatigue and, in turn, prevent injuries”. Here’s what I think is the “money quote” from the article: I don’t think Clay’s injured thumb, Cobb’s broken bone or Perry’s broken foot could have been prevented by the medical/training staff. But the Packers have over the past several seasons sustained a lot of muscle pulls and strains, particularly of the hamstring variety. Those seem to be more preventable. But here’s the problem IMO: How do the Packers separate preventable injuries vs. others. And once that’s decided, how do the Packers compare to the rest of the league regarding [I]preventable [/I]injuries? I don’t have the expertise or resources to determine either but without knowing those answers its difficult for me to assign blame to the Packers’ staff. While I don’t think the Packers’ history can completely be blamed on just being ‘snake bit’, it seems to me (from the perspective of being a Packers fanatic) the Packers have had more than an average number of what I consider to be non-preventable injuries. However I haven’t looked at any other teams in this regard and injuries to Packers are magnified because I am so focused on the Packers. But to answer the question posed in the title of this thread, yes I think the Packers have to look at their staff. But I'll bet if McCarthy were asked, he'd say he does that every off season.
