Honestly, WTH is the deal with all the injuries?

[Highlandfire]

Is it a crappy offseason program? Are we pushing them too hard or not enough in the offseason so their bodies aren't right for camp?

Is Fox and Co pushing them too hard in camp? This is flat stupid the amount of injuries that are popping up.

Honestly, I don't believe Kemo stretched his achilles good enough. There are exercises specifically for that. With the couple of players that sat out due to the heat, I believe the coaches will have more breaks in between sessions.

Outside of a lost Kemo, a tweaked Beason, a few heat things, and a Gantt that can't keep his thumb quiet....who's been injured?

Honestly, I'm asking. Was out of the loop yesterday and today.

[Kurb]

It's not been bad.

Stop jinxing us

I found this a bit humorous from Steve Reed's story earlier:

"Among those who sat out the afternoon session Wednesday were LB Jon Beason (hamstring), OG C.J. Davis (ankle), RB Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) and WR Muhsin Muhammad (age)."

This isn't church league softball...everyone knows that right?

Every year we lose some guys during TC and others during the season. Unfortunately it was Kemo at a position we are very thin. Nothing unusual or different. As others have said, damn tweets just raise the anxiety level sooner until we find out that most times it isn't something to get upset about.

Reed and Gantt always put that about Muhammad. Mildly clever but they've never had much positive to say about a guy who means this much to us. Then again this time last year people were wondering whether Moose would be happy playing the slot role, right? Even saying that since Hackett was a lock, Jarrett might have a shot at beating him for the slot.

As for the injuries, they happen. Beason actually did say he didn't stretch well enough on his - I don't get that. Beason is the heart of this team and all, but it's not like players can't stretch with their daily workouts anyway.

This is why Twitter is so awful. Anyone can post. Gantt aside, "tweeters" don't follow the moral codes journalists HAVE TO. Just wait, as Twitter goes on and on, you'll see lawsuits for slander, etc and horrible rumors ruin people. But now that fans can do it too, you could get 500 "jake limped today" tweets, that will get overblown and have Huddlers freak out.

[KintnerBoy]

I was at training camp all week and those guys were playing hard. Its not suprising that some of them are getting banged up. They're big boys playing a big boy game. Everyone just needs to calm down.

We are receiving information a lot faster now. Because things are real time and there is limited followup we get half the story. For example, you get a tweet about an injury to TD but in order to followup someone has to ignore everything else and follow the injury. This does not happen so you file it away as another crazy injury this year when in fact the guy is back in the lineup before you read the original post.

Understand that the natural reaction is to overreact as you most probably never have all of the details.

Exactly!!!!!!

We have had ONE injury in TC (Kemo). The Beason tweak, the Robinson heat, Davis hitting legs with someone else, etc.. are normal parts of camp.

The fact that we get twitters saying "Davis Injures Knee"....and then finding out it was nothing (only hit knees with someone else)....is what is feeding this doom and gloom personality of the board lately.

DOWN WITH TWITTER.

[bigjohn]

Yep, it's a big (340 pound) loss, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'd bet a half dozen teams each year lose someone during camp (maybe not for the season but for multiple weeks).

I'd rather get it out of the way now than in week two--more time to adjust.
