[QUOTE="Carl, post: 563049, member: 9497"] Don't see how training staff can prevent guy from rolling his knee. When a 300 pound plus guy rolls his knee something bad is going to happen. As far as the overall injury issue last season, here's my take from a physical therapists perspective that I posted on a topic before. "I know that there are no big muscles on the front of the shin [Regarding Cobb] that would absorb much impact and same with the thumb. [Regarding Matthews] With Rodgers, he took a lot of force medially almost directly in line with the clavicle, which is a very small bone not meant to handle all that force. It also doesn't have muscles to pull it laterally that would help with that force. More muscle flexibility, which I doubt was even an issue as the vast majority of non athletes even have full shoulder range of motion, would not have helped. The shoulder muscles aren't a like hamstring, which lots of people have tight. The number one thing to do to prevent bones breaking is to load them like with lifting weights and I'm sure the Packers players have been doing that their entire athletic careers. As far a hamstring injures, they are the number one most reoccurring soft tissue injury in athletics. This has been known for a long time and despite LOTS of research, there is still no consensus on how to prevent them. First time injuries, yes, second and beyond, not so much. Finally, can't specifically strengthen an ACL. Can strengthen muscles around it, and I'm sure Buluga has some strong legs. Knee ligaments are more responsible for keeping knee bones stable and they are not meant to handle a 300+ lb guy who moves well. I'm not saying the staff isn't accountable for some. First time hamstring injuries, for example, are mostly preventable. Just they don't deserve blame for everything." [/QUOTE]
