2025 Winter Workouts

Absolutely want to see what the S&C staff is doing. Apart from the freak injuries to the DL leading into the season, the team suffered bumps and bruises, but guys came back, and we got better throughout the season as a team - no late season collapse - and won the biggest game of the year right at the end. Whatever they are doing and teaching, it is working.
I know relatively it all ties in but i wonder if the more intense practices/conditioning, or even a combination with a different S&C program had to do with staying healthy for the most part. Then again could it just have been another 2018, fluke, where we weren’t scraping the barrel for healthy bodies come November? I lean the former, but we’ll find out this year with this meat grinder we have ahead.

I think better S&C certainly helped, but we did have a number of injuries, probably more on par with a normal year vs. the decimation we had in prior years. Think better depth helped us there. We lost a starting WR (not to an injury) and several starters on D for periods (Barnes, lost another member of secondary before season started, etc.) We were beat up pretty bad on DL, too. I think the fact that we finished the year stronger impacts how we view the injuries. We were definitely healthier on O than we had been in prior years.
