What's the deal with all the hamstring and groin injuries?

[SkapePhin]

Vontae, Reggie, Dansby, etc.

Are these guys not stretching??? Is our training staff incompetent?

they have proved to be, yes. Which is why ross needs to take action already. Sad to say though, if we beat the browns its going to be a long season under sparano.

I blame the lockout and the lack of OTAs. It is not just the Dolphins, it is a little bit of everyone with all of these early injuries.

news alert: football players are hurting their hamstrings and groins. the training staff and strenght and conditioning coaches are likely at fault. CLEAN HOUSE!

*******!

I dunno????....Maybe the lockout and a shortened Preseason had something to do with this??????

players union. thanks for helping your local player dudes! you rock! did you get what you were looking for? lol say hello to crappy economy dumasses!

Simple reason - these *******s who get paid to millions of dollars to work out & run around for a few hours a day decided to sit back and do nothing during the lockout.

Their loss i guess.

There is no replacement for football contact when it comes to conditioning.

This is a league wide problem. Guys all over the league are pulling groins and hamstrings.

It's not a matter of being in shape, but rather the lack of padded practices IMO.

For those that think it's happening to all the teams and the shortened pre-season is to blame, how come I didn't see the Pat's sucking wind, cramping up, and pulling hammies? Was it because they loosened up nicely running up and down the field on our defense?

Very tired of any excuses for this regime. Teams just don't suck randomly....though it's a skill we've apparently mastered.

Dan Gronkowski TE Hamstring Did Not Participate In Practice -- Dan Koppen C PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE Out (Definitely Will Not Play) -- Myron Pryor DT PLACED ON INJURED RESERVE Out (Definitely Will Not Play) -- Aaron Hernandez TE Knee Did Not Participate In Practice Out Sebastian Vollmer T Back Did Not Participate In Practice Out Mike Wright DE Concussion Did Not Participate In Practice Out Patrick Chung S Hand Did Not Participate In Practice Questionable Albert Haynesworth DT Back Did Not Participate In Practice Questionable Ras-I Dowling CB Hip Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Gary Guyton LB Hamstring Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Jerod Mayo LB Thigh Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Zoltan Mesko P Knee Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Taylor Price WR Hamstring Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Ryan Wendell C Calf Limited Participation in Practice Questionable Josh Barrett S Thumb Full Participation in Practice Probable Leigh Bodden CB Hand Full Participation in Practice Probable Dane Fletcher LB Thumb Full Participation in Practice Probable Kyle Arrington CB Concussion Limited Participation in Practice Probable Looks to me they have their own players with injury issues. The reason our D sucked wind was because the Pats ran the no huddle to prefect and we could force an incompletion to save our life. Like I said, this is a league wide problem.
