Achilles injuries..

[Jake]

I don’t ever recall seeing so many in football. (George Kittle just snapped his).

Can someone who understands football training explain why they seem much more common?

The number of 49er injuries is shocking, this is the third likely HOFer that they have lost for the rest of this season! And a 4th, Trent William, was out last game - don't know if he is playing today.

And they most likely lost superbowl LVIII due to Dre Greenlaw's freak achilles injury.

Your observation is accurate. Here’s a little light reading for you (and anyone else interested) that gives some possible reasons.

Many if not most of us watched in utter disbelief and horror last September 11th as Aaron Rogers, the newly acquired $75 million dollar quarterback with the New York Jets just 4 snaps into the new season, suffered an Achilles Tendon ruptures (ATR) ...

I’ve torn both of mine. Last one was 14 years ago. Haven’t stepped on a basketball court since.

Hate seeing athletes going down with these.

 

[djorange1989]

Even worse news for the 49ers: Kittle’s backup is Rickie Collins. But seriously, that is terrible. No idea why these injuries are increasing

But has it impacted your game as the Lounge Lizard at Ladies Night at the Braintree Marriott?

Because, if it has, that would be tragic.

Ce serait dommage.

Ma si, c’est vrai, alors tu as raison che c’est dommage.

I think turning sneakers into cleats plays a role too. More concerned with the look than the function.

The Bills have already installed a (heated) natural grass field in their new stadium. If Buffalo can do it then any team can do it.

Ok, that' low, funny but low. Maybe we see a little trickeration interception.

It's like the French have a different word for everything.

So rude, right?

You think they’d just learn ‘Merican like everyone else so we kinna understan’ what the he!!, they all sayin’. Amirite?

I have no science to back this up, but there may be some out there. I think a lot of it is youth sports. I believe Dr. James Andrews wrote a book about his observation of increased injuries amongst youth athletes. A lot of these guys started playing year round organized sports much younger than kids a generation or two ago, and they also shifted their focus to a single sport that they play/train in year round at a much earlier age. It makes sense that the increased wear and tear would add up, and sometimes guys are doing things at an age that young bodies aren't ready for and being trained by people that don't know what they're doing. I think you see it in basketball too. You rarely saw the big stars using "load management" back in the day. Now it's almost expected.

That was a crazy short article for a scientific publication, and it hit the points I thought would have been raised - increasing size of players, and turf/surface. The one I did not know about was limitations on coaching staff contact with players in the offseason, so they can't monitor physical preparedness. Sort of the opposite of college ball.

But I cannot believe that got through peer review (is it a reviewed publication?) and they spelled Aaron Rodgers' name wrong right at the beginning of the abstract. Threw me right out of the gate.

Your favorite QB, Laces Out Marino is the first one I ever remember.
