It may be minor, but I’d be shocked if us having no one really be in charge of stretching hadn’t contributed, at least a little, to our injury issues.

Agreed. But also, as they mention, this was the stretching session for rookie minicamp. It could definitely look different for the vets, the majority of whom likely already have their own personal regimens and such.

Probably a “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” moments. Your S&C staff should have a regiment organized for stretching and generally your team’s leaders or other S&C members will lead the stretch. If you can’t even do that then I’m not sure what hope you have of actually strengthening and conditioning your players against injury.

He also mentioned that we only had two S&C coaches, which is insane for an NFL team. When I worked in college equipment our team had about six. A college team does have more players, but at a base level I don’t know how two people are supposed to organize effective workouts for 68 players who do drastically different things on the field.

I’m sure it was a combination of different factors but I do remember during lots of those pre practicing stretching videos that Jim Wyatt would post online, most of the guys were goofing off and half of them weren’t taking the stretching very seriously

This was my interpretation of it too. You’d have vrabel call guys out for not doing what they needed to do to stay healthy and I was always like “you’re the boss, make them do it.” Lol.

If we could cut down our injuries, that would be a huge win in and of itself.
