Are all the D injuries due too Meek.

[koolkatluke]

All this running too the ball and running plays out in practice. Putting more importance on speed and not on weight lifting and power. All Dlinemen losing weight and not gaining any power. All the injuries seem too be to the legs (except godfrey). Weren't we all ready Fast before he got here. Then we lose our only power guy (leg injury) now look at the D.

[Lonestar13]

yes b/c the Meek shall inherit the Earth

[rayzor]

yeah, no way should kemo have been running only 20 minutes into the first practice. all meeks fault.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Yeah, we should tell our defense not to run too fast 'cause they might get hurt.

[Zod]

If running to the ball causes injuries to our players....we need new players.

[monstercat]

This is a joke, right?

[Jangler]

Gravitational pull is a bitch.

[SKULL]

The team hired 3 new coaches with yellow vest and Red Stop signs

It's there job during practise to hold their sign up and blow a whistle ever time the new RADAR Detector Beeps

Hurney & Fox have heard you man and they will put a stop to all this running

[koolkatluke]

My point was dumbasses we put more importance on being fast (which we already were) then we did on being stronger. Now the problem I see are Not being able too hold your ground (strength) or not being able too tackle or bring someone down when you have them (strength). The Offseason our Dline was told too lose weight so we can be faster. Well we are fast we get too a spot fast but we can't bring anybody down when we get their. 2nd point most of our injuries on D are too the player legs. My question could they be weaken by concentrating on trying too be faster (which they already were) instead of being stronger.

2 major problem on D have nothing too do with speed. Holding ground in the trenches and tackling have too do with strength and technique. I have heard nothing all offseason and TC about working on Strength and Technique just speed and simplifying. Could this be the problem with Meeks/Fox system this year is all I'm saying.

I agree with the OP it's Meeks fault he is also to blame for my low credit score.

If you think any coach in the NFL doesn't think being strong and explosive important...you don't know as much as you think you do.

And the thing about running downfield isn't about being fast, it's about everybody getting to the ball. Two different things, if you've ever played football. The pursuit drill is not to make your guys faster. And getting your guys to the ball is in no way sacrificing their strength.

Making somebody faster is not going to make them forget how to tackle, and by no means do you have to sacrifice strength to get faster. Anybody who has spent any amount of time in athletics will tell you that you could lose 20 pounds or more and it won't have a significant impact on your speed.

So what the F is the problem why are we getting juked out our shoes by 3rd rounder on the same play over and over and over again. Why is every Rb get touch or it seem wrap up and still pushes for 3-4 more yards. Why cna't none of our DT hold ground. I'm not saying blame everything on Meeks some of this is Fox fault too. AGAIN I think they wanted speed more the strength which I already thought our Defence was.

Since you know so much about football you know it is won in the trenches. No matter how f'n fast you run too the ball if your Line can't hold ground all you are going too run into is a 300plus pound guard.
