Arkansas has been decimated by injuries this year... with a much more “traditional” approach to Strength & Conditioning... Alabama lost two starting linebackers in week one... LSU has lost three OLs to injuries this year.... all with more traditional S&C programs.
Outside of pettway (who has a freaking broken bone) and KJ (who has an injury history that dates back to high school) we are a relatively healthy football. Tray Matthews missed some time as well, but he has a history of injuries.

Not related, but does anyone know who the football players were who got in a fight at a fraternity party who JJ wanted to hire lasted lawyers for?

That's not what I ask tho not sure it's accurate....

I know all too well that injuries are a part of football, a knee injury ended my career.
Ok but it feels like we are "plagued" by injuries because you are emotionally invested in this team. I would genuinely be interested in knowing if our injuries are actually worse than other team's or not

Sorry for asking for some actual data to back up that opinion of yours. It's easy to have an opinion with nothing backing it up except what you THINK is true

Under Yox? Absolutely. He did not train to combine activities. He was, however, not a cross-fit pussyfoot as you call them.

Really? I don't remember being plagued with injuries in 13, 14, or 15 really. Last year we had some key guys get hurt, funny they are mainly the ones that are hurt again this year.

Which team should we train like? What are we currently doing different than those teams?

I'm going to go out on a pretty sturdy limb here and say our S&C program is not drastically different than any of those.

It’s been stated before that Russell takes a different approach. That was the whole reason Malzahn apparently brought him when he came.
As for data, the only data that I can provide is from experience. I don’t have numbers for you, nor do I care to try to find any. The gym has been a part of my life for the majority of my life. I have been in many gyms in many different places, and have worked out with and around lots of different type people. From my experience, what I’ve seen,... there are more injuries to people who train that way than people who use a traditional S&C program

Not a good way to argue your point. As for combine results, no clue where you got that from.

I apologize to the board then...
I’m just ready for this whole era at AU to end. That is all, thanks ??

What exactly does he do differently? All the major S&C programs implement crossfit into their program. You were confident enough to blame him for our injuries and called his arse to be fired, yet can't give a single example as to what specifically he is doing that is worse for our players than what is being done elsewhere around the SEC.

The shoulder is the easiest bone in your body to damage. Has nothing to do with training. shite just happens sometimes.

I would suspect you're right about the shoulder joint, but Rhino5 posted some information at the top of the last page that said scapula breaks are less than 1% of bone breaks. I'm not sure the source of that information.
Bone breaks are also not something you can really train to avoid. Those injuries are just a matter of force and bone strength. I guess a training regiment could be blamed for its nutritional component not having the proper vitamins and minerals for healthy bones, but I would imagine all of the S&C programs in college sports are using similar data for bodily needs and only tweaking carb, protein, and fat loads for different body types.

That is because you are 100% wrong. I follow the Combine every year. Auburn does very well. From Greg Robinson, Tre Mason, to Coates, Ricardo Louis, Angelo Blackson, Carl Lawson and even Jonathan Jones who tested among the best CB's in his class.
It even extends to guys like Cameron Artis-Payne, who ran a 4.53 (among the best times for RBs, faster than Ameer Abdullah at 4.60 and right there with Melvin Gordon, the Wisconsin RB who killed us and went mid first round to the Chargers) despite being labelled as "slow" his entire time at Auburn by internet fans.

Auburn has dealt with a lot of injuries. Some more serious than others, and some were definitely day-to-day types, but they still happened. Nothing out of the ordinary, IMO.

I would genuinely be interested in looking at injuries per team just to get a feel of what's normal during a season. Problem is there isn't a central place for that type of info
