Redskins Injuries and What can be done

Of course Colt's bone did not pierce the skin when he broke his leg, so the bone was never exposed to the outside air. He had about the same risk of infection as you would if you got your appendix taken out.

Alex's risk was much much higher. I don't blame the hospital one bit for Alex's infection - it would not be considered a 'hospital acquired' infection. He got that shit basically the moment his bone poked through.

That makes sense

Another problem area could also be technique. I remember watching RG3 and thinking he was the opposite of someone trying to protect themselves when contact was coming, almost like he was contorting himself to increase his risk of injury from a collision. Watching him play it was no shock that he had the injury history that he did.

Most of the injuries this year that have been shown on television this year have been due to ankles, knees, legs, and shoulders bending under immense pressure and weight in ways they are not made to bend.

I get the knee jerk reactions about the S&C staff and trainers and all that, but seriously, just go down the list with each player, body parts bend certain ways and when heavy players moving fast cause them to bend in bad ways injuries are going to happen no matter how flexible or strong players are.
