[QUOTE="Luca, post: 563173, member: 9032"] If we are trying to blame the strength and conditioning staff and medical staff for one individual injury we are probably chasing our own tails here. Some injuries might be avoidable, but obviously not all of them. Since the sample size for ACL injuries for individual teams are very low, it's nearly impossible to draw any sensible conclusions form those figures. However if we blame strength and conditioning staff and medical staff for the usual amount of muscle injuries, like two years ago, we are probably on to something. Fortunately the Packers have changed their methods. Obviously, this didn't diminish the injuries last year, but the number of muscle injuries did diminish! Unfortunately most of those injuries last year were unavoidable (there are no methods to prevent broken collarbones, broken thumbs, broken feet, broken legs, neck injuries and concussions) Moreover, this also doesn't mean that we can't blame the league for the rising amount of ACL injuries. There have 61 ACL injuries last year. That is a lot! Something is causing this league wide rise in ACL injuries. Many of those ACL injuries are suffered during the first weeks of camp. So maybe some of those injuries are caused by a CBA that forces you to be game ready in just 15 days. Based on what experts told me, I think that the CBA should focus on extending recovery time after the practices, instead of limiting the duration of camp and limiting the total number of practices.
