Alabama injuries are down due to their S&C program. Kirby may want to take a look at what they are doing.

It's only speculation that Alabama's injuries are down because of their S&C. I mean, there is no way to prove any of that. It could be that. It might not be that. I get that the problem lessend once your S&C changed, but a lot of teams go through spurts of injuries that have nothing to do with S&C.

Don't get me wrong....you might be exactly correct and it might be something that can be checked into. But I have never seen anything that suggests that ACL injuries and turned ankles are S&C related.

What happened to the other three?

Blaylock tore his ACL during LSU SECCG. Burton and Jackson, I think are ankle injuries...just enough to hobble them. Washington has a minor fracture (is there really such a thing? ) to his foot.

I can see hamstring injuries being S&C related....but the other stuff could happen to anybody at any time no matter S&C.

Like I said...you could be exactly right.

ETA
Correction.....Kearis Jackson had minor knee surgery to clean up something that happened last season. Burton's was a knee injury.

Possible knee injury could be related to S&C. Not necessarily so, but definitely possible.

You can't really be this dumb right?

MRJ and Burton started at X & Y receiver... Ladd at the slot. MRJ recovering from a broken ankle and Burton missed substantial time due to a sprain early in camp or late summer I believe?

Certainly a fair question re: S&C... Little early to attribute Alabama's decrease in injuries to S&C, but if you get a few seasons in a row, absolutely... I hope we steal whatever secret sauce you guys have going on. You could also regress to the mean and have a wave of injuries.

I think Alabama's general decrease in injuries to starters is stemming from the fact that games are largely out of hand by mid 2nd quarter against 90% of your competition. It's something a lot of UGA fans have been screaming that we need to do as well...
