Injuries on the broncos?

[Quoydogs]

Do you feel the broncos have more injuries then most other teams. I mean we are not even done with training camp and we have hillis,pitman,champ,bly,torain,nalen, Ect... We have not even made it to preseason. I see this happenign every year. Do you think it could be the training staff or just getting old or unhealthy people?

I think the problem is they play tackle football.

Why are Pittman, Champ and Bly on this list? They're healthy.

And my answer is no. Just look at KC. They lost both first rounders in the first few practices.

Every team goes through this. If you followed all 31 other teams as closely as you followed the Broncos, I'll bet you'd see just as many injuries on average.

Ive read somewhere that tackling could, possibly contribute to injuries.

True. the cowboys AND Cleveland are dealing with injury woes.
Happens to every team.

I think it comes down to Mike Shanahan and George W. It's amazing how they allow this to happen, I think there's something in it for them on the back end!

I stole this fro another poster on the other board. This is what I am talking about


" Shanahan said that we had 10 games missed due to injuries to starters when we won the first superbowl. And 15 games missed by starters when we won the second superbowl. I think he said we had 78 games missed by starters due to injuries last year."

Probably just excuses to give them a break from the two a days. I'm sure they'll all be back on the field tomorrow. The Post would be lit up like a Christmas tree by now if these were in the least bit serious.

3 guys: Rod Smith, Nalen and Hamilton accounted for well over half that number of missed games alone.

Then add in Javon Walker, Travis Henry, Lepsis, Ekuban, Stokely, Scheffler, Cutler missed one game.... It has gotten out of hand ever since we lost Al Wilson.
