Sorry, but I am a member of the club that believes that the plague of nagging injuries can be attributed to Gibbs.
By taking on the "player friendly" coach approach last off-season and allowing players to do their own off-season conditioning without a mandatory monitored off-season training program, players were not in the best shape they could have been in when they reported for camp and the regular season.
None suffered "devastating" injuries, just those nagging groin, hammy's and sprains. In other words the types of injuries that are minimized exponentially when a player is in better shape. I.E. participates in a structured, monitored off-season program.
