McCourt not 100% tonight

Injuries seem to be a big problem over the past few years for JC. What is the issue?  It’s not all freak accidents. Is it their style of play?  If their physical style of play is causing their injuries then maybe they need to change some things up. Or are they just not coming into the season physically prepared?  Are they hitting the weights all season and doing things to help recovery?  If you can’t get through the season healthy then something is wrong.

They start early on weights.  They are doing the right things.  Physical style does take a toll. McCoart tweaked a hamstring.  We actually stayed pretty healthy this year as opposed to last. Just seemed to bit us at wrong time this year.  Cov Cath is well coached.  McCoart gets yards even when they snuff it out so that really hurt. Hats off to CC though.

They lost two defensive lineman due to injuries and I seen a host of shoulder braces on players. Didn’t look healthy.

Correct did lose two linemen. We lost six last year overall. Some of the guys wear braces for protection. Not sure about real injuries to shoulders.

I was wrong. Lost 3 lineman. The kids with shoulder braces on seemed to be grabbing their shoulders all night. Also one had surgery. Seems pretty beat up to me. Maybe not as banged up as last year. But the central fans also posted on Facebook last night about how banged up they are. So they’re banged up but not as banged up. Either way they need to figure out what’s going on and find a way to fix it or keep having mediocre seasons.
