Reuben Foster carted off with apparent leg injury

[FrenchSkin]

The every day life of a Redskins fan... I was mostly shocked by how not shocked I was...

[Skinzorz]

I wish the man a speedy recovery, and hope he comes back with a chip on his shoulder.

How much of the attendance problem at Fed Ex is due to injuries? Feels like a big chunk. Why go see them if they're all hurt like they've been the last few years?

Amazingly, despite Foster's loss so early, we're still way way healthier than we were at the end of last season. But it just feels like we won't be for long.

This shit gets to you, it's hard for it not to.

I'm waiting to see how many starters we lose in camp or P/S. We all know its coming. BMitch said the players in today's league are soft but I think that is just an old school guy talking smack.

Bad Karma, maybe his charges were dropped and the NFL didn't suspend him but someone else knew the truth.

At some point when you loose your starters year after year don't you lay the blame on the man planning the practices, drills,etc.If you work in a factory and for three years in row you have a 50 percent of your work force gets hurt somebody ass is getting fired.Not with redskins we just stay status quo.we are not cursed just piss poorly run.

Reminds me of the injuries sustained at Santa Anita Race Track.
Race track officials initially blamed trainers and doping but it turned out to be issues with the track caused by lots of rain in the off season.

The Redskins needs to bring in people to monitor all aspects of team activities to try and figure out what is going on.

I put the blame on Gruden.
You can't blame luck or karma going into season 5 of this same old bullshit. Gruden has to be accountable for this.

Redskins brought in consultants to assess all injuries recently. And how can Gruden prevent injuries? I'm trying to understand why you are pinning the issue on Gruden.

Easy answer: He's the man in charge.

If it's not the training facility, then it's how they train/prepare.

I don't believe in bad luck 5 years in a row.

First and foremost, they need players that can standup to 16 games a season. Let's look at the decision to keep Lauvao last year.

You expect him to miss games. His backup went down early in the preseason, that was bad luck. They don't find a dedicated backup and have to shift the line when Lauvao does breakdown, week 3 or 4. Then they start bringing in guys off the street to play and they end up injured because 2 weeks earlier, they were working out at 24 hour fitness and they aren't used to game speed. If they had replaced Lauvao before the season started we might still have Alex Smith at QB.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but Chico was calling this shit out in preseason last year.

Actually Dan and Bruce are in charge.

Jay has plenty of faults but you haven't pointed out any evidence that any decision Gruden has made has contributed to the task of injuries.

But, who needs evidence when you have so much certainty...

It just seems like Jamf just want a scapegoat to blame on, and honestly we cannot blame Jamf for that. We have had terrible luck with injuries last few years, bad enough for it to ruin our season (especially last year) and someone had to take on the blame, might as well as blame it on Gruden.

The "Aww shucks, bad luck struck again" approach doesn't work for me 5 years in a row.


It's the coaches responsibility to right this ship and he hasn't done it.

Have you heard me talk about the TE position endlessly this offseason? The red flags are easy to see, but if the plan by the front office is too simply "cross fingers" then they have to shoulder a lot of the blame. But its known Gruden likes "his guys" and a lot of times those guys aren't getting it done. Im legit worried about Reed/Vernon Davis at TE this year...again. Gruden, front office...blame to go around

One thing about ILB...I know its early, but they really like the rookie Cole Holcomb and they signed Jon Bostic. While its bad news, not all is lost...Foster, Hamilton, Bostic, Holcomb, Harvey-Clemons isn't a terrible core there.

Gruden is a .500 coach at best. The man should have been fired year before last.
