Report: UT safety Todd Kelly Jr. to have MRI for ankle injury

[allvol123]

No emotion here, although the continuation of injuries is maddening. Just name-calling from you while you hide behind your screen name.

IMHO, each of these, and others not listed, are at least an indirect result of conditioning issues. Even broken bones, torn biceps and torn ligaments can be an indirect result of a lack of conditioning.

Again, you make an assertion an offer no proof.

Please describe how Kirkland's or Sutton's is a strength and conditioning issue. Would love to hear this.

You have no interest in "hearing" anything, just picking internet fights anonymously. You made the assertion that it is not related. If it's important to you, you can prove it.

 

[esarmstrong]

Has to be our turf at this point.

I'm not so sure. The field looks to be in pretty good shape this year, so far. We've had some injuries on the road, too.

How do attribute bad conditioning to getting your leg caught in a bad spot while making a tackle? The shoulders...ok I'll give ya those, but we've had a lot of just freak accident type of injuries. How exactly do you condition your body to prevent a sprained ankle?

I will grant you that "all" of our injuries may not be directly related to strength and conditioning, but, IMHO, conditioning and strength plays a role in an athlete's propensity for injury and to avoid injury.

I just think with this many injuries happening, the explanation has to be more than just lousy luck or slipping on the turf. It seems more likely the result of some singular explanation and cause. That cause can be a direct and proximate one, or something more remote in nature.

Strength and conditioning seems a good place to go in search of an explanation.

records been set all over Volunteer football this season, but, I know one I may never forget...injuries...:thud:

GO VOLS...RUN THE TABLE!

I wonder if this really could be a record year for injuries. Gotta be getting close at this point

 

[gerryladon]

You are entitled to your opinion, but man I can not stand a defeatist attitude!

Not defeatist at all just a fact because we aren't going to beat Alabama under any circumstances and that is a fact.

 

[CINCYVOL]

You made the assertion, prove it.

But I can give you my list.

Kirkland
Sutton
Kamara
Kelly
Weitzman
Jones
Maybin
Tuttle

None of these have anything to do with it.

But please, proceed with you emotional nonsense.

Most if not all of your list contains injuries to ligaments or broken bones. Players can increase muscle mass, but there is nothing that can be done to strengthen ligaments, just Google it.

 

[Zues1]

Okay, so this is somewhat unrelated but.. with all of these injuries and for the shear fact that no one is as good as Alabama, I sure hope we don't make to the SECCG. I cannot handle seeing our Vols who have worked so hard to keep this season on the rails get hammered and out-talented. I'd rather go into a bowl game with a chance at a 10-3 record. Sure it would be nice to be called SEC East Champs but with how the East has been getting a bad rep for sucking, I don't know if it's worth it. Don't get me wrong, I will be proud of my Vols regardless!

Go Vols!

Jesus another one of these. Let's say LUS beats Fla Which one of the following two games would you like UT to lose, Mizzou or Vandy SMDH

 

[tallvolball98]

How about you tell me the ones that are not a direct or indirect result of players not being in proper football condition. I would suggest to you that a team having this many injuries is most likely the result of a direct or contributing cause. The odds that it is all just coincidence or "bad luck" is astronomical.

The most likely culprit is football related strength and conditioning and the lack thereof.

Or the field. Kentucky had a lot of injuries

Not into conspiracies but Kentucky did have a lot of leg injuries.

Why would I need to Google it? I'm not on the side of the goofy assertion.

 

[Power T-Rev]

One would think so, but iirc Griffin actually played ahead of him today. I don't get it. We're a poor tackling team and Warrior would greatly help in that area.

I seem to remember Warrior being responsible for the blown coverage that led to SC last touchdown. Tackling isn't the only thing

This is like bizarro world.

You made the claim, prove it. It is a simple request.

Based on what some tackles he made vs TN Tech? You realize they dont belong on the same field as us right?

Doesn't mean he will always do that. He's just a freshman and learning from past mistakes, I reckon.

 

[lostsheep]

Thanks for representing UT with class week in and week out TK. Hope the injury isn't serious and that you're back on the field soon!

 

[LordBolton]

Is this real life? Is it honestly possible to have this many injuries in one season?

I wonder if it's related to the field issues dating back to last season...

 

[TechnoVol]

Nope. The turf has nothing to do with our injuries this year. I get it, you're looking for something to blame but in reality, it's not the turf and it's not the S&C coach. It's just terrible luck.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

TK was slow to react yesterday, almost like he was waiting for the runners to come to him. I wonder if he hurt it early in the game.

 

[Roustabout]

How do attribute bad conditioning to getting your leg caught in a bad spot while making a tackle? The shoulders...ok I'll give ya those, but we've had a lot of just freak accident type of injuries. How exactly do you condition your body to prevent a sprained ankle?

Being out of position. Bad technique. Getting beat. Getting pushed around. Not being squared up. Another teammate getting beat or blown up and falling on you, or rolling you up. Fatigue. Flexibility.

Those are all controllable factors that can cause injury.

 

[niftyal]

Well you got to be able to cover too.

Gaulden is an excellent tackler, but does not cover well far down the field.

He is a good player. I wish fans would quit bashing the players. If the players start bashing this group of crybabies. The we might have just cause to say something negative.

It is when you have a strength and conditioning program that isn't worth a sh!t.[/QUOTE

How many of the injuries can be linked to strength and conditioning? I have no idea but you obviously do so please enlighten us.

Read my above post. There is a reason Saban said his S&C was the most important part of his staff. A team will always have injury, no doubt. This is way beyond normal.
Several factors can contribute to injuries.

One i didn't mention was recruiting profile. Recruiting players who are injury prone. There have been several players I would define as fragile or injury prone. I love chance Hall, but he was injured when he signed and has now been out repeatedly. Preston Williams, Devante Brooks.

So Jrm, Sutton,Kamara, Mckenzie, Tuttle, Kirkland, and Berry are fragile injury prone players we should of passed on.:crazy:
I think sometimes bad luck just happens.
