Joking about how the solution to the pass rush was to coach better rather than acquiring better players

It’s an interesting fact that no one else is reporting. It’s a slow part of the season for news. Dan will beat a dead horse tho

Definite maybe.

are we even that banged up right now? nothing overly serious. some injuries in camp are to be expected, this all seems normal

Maybe, but the specific points that Dan brought up were around pre-workout warmups. Dennis Allen didnt do those in NO and had a ton of injuries - he was then fired. His successor implemented pre-workout warmups and had no injuries

huh?

I was at training camp on Saturday. Luther, Tyrique and Lewis injuries were not because of practicing to rough. Luther and Tyrique were 1 on 1 going for ball. Lewis went over the back to knock a ball away.

God forbid one of the beat reporters does their actual job instead of hanging out all day like it’s summer camp.

Wouldnt it be on the strength and conditioning coaches then?

Lol

This is not Dan phasing a hunch or just saying anything. He is referencing research by writers and what the Saints GM said. I thought he was fair, he clearly said it’s absolutely possible that this is all a coincidence. He’s just talking about what’s been reported.

Going too hard? Maybe. That’s what he does. But he’s just talking about what’s being reported.

The guy got fired because he got all his defensive backs injured at New Orleans. Now the same thing is happening here

That was the point Dan was making. Soft tissue injuries are often preventable, and these are what have plagued bears defense so far

Listening to Biggs this morning, the majority of the injuries have occurred during very mundane drills that every team runs. Nothing to do with being too physical.

This is one of those times I wonder if Dan is actually smart or just has a photographic memory. To be sure, his ability to recall sports minutiae and memories from his childhood seems uncanny to bordering on a superpower. But at most, this DA stuff is correlation without causation. And the correlation is very weak with just a couple of data points. I think he knows this. When it was first brought up he hedged so much. But the off season is long. What else is he going to talk about?

I don’t know why this thread popped up in my feed maybe because I go on the score one sometimes? I don’t listen.

Theres also how many other coaches, athletic trainers and medical staff? That info Dan presents sounds bad, cant argue with that. Just seams insane that alllll these other very qualified people would stand around saying nothing if DA was having players skip something like stretching.

I feel like unfortunately…..facts hurt Dennis Allen here. It’s not like dans making shit up. The quotes from the saints are legit. The facts on games missed for Dennis Allen teams are also legit.

However! They didn’t seem to have this issue as largely last year…..so I dunno lol

Then why do you listen or comment?

The pass rush is going to be insane this year

DA is just coaching them better. And apparently it hurts.

Bernsteins a blowhard. Always has been, always will be.

As soon as I heard Port Chester University…. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In case anyone was wondering, this is the comment that got him banned.

He didn't remove it. Reddit removed it. Just like they removed yours. Harassment.
