Hamstring Injuries

[IHearJimi]

Anybody else notice that our hamstring injuries seem to be almost cut in half this year? Last year we had a huge list of inactive players due to different hamstring issues. Is this due to constant motion practices, a new coach, or better conditioning? I would think the latter, but Gamble is back as strength and conditioning coach. wWhy would he change his teaching? Anybody with a background in this that could possibly shed some light. Maybe the players know that they can no longer sluff off. Wannstedt would allow it, Saban will not.

Saban doesn't allow full contact in practice, which might help

many players in the nfl fake hamstring injuries, to get out of practice. Its one of those things, that if you know your a starter, you can miss a few practices because of it.
