Training Staff should be blamed for ACL's. If you stretch and increase flexibility and aren't a sissy, you won't pop an ACL. (yes, I know I'm gonna pop an ACL tomorrow morning during Insanity workout now lol)

Every team goes through it.

Strength and conditioning coaches can only do so much.

Stop blaming the coaches.

I've read about almost every year different things The Packers try.

Somebody comes up with a hammy and muscle pull preventive , that somebody will be one rich dude!

Injuries happen. But doing what they can to lower them is smart. Holding out veterans to lower the amount of chances they get injured makes sense.
But it doesn’t guarantee they won’t get injured.

So yoga is the magical cure all.
Pretty sure EVERY TEAM would mandate their players do yoga if its been proven it prevents all hammys and core muscle injuries.

I bet if you did a check you would find many of The Packers do yoga.

I bet if a study was done, field conditions are to blame much more than conditioning when it comes to pulled muscles.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

You're right some players are doing yoga. There's yoga studio in GB that a group of players regularly visit. Jaire Alexander is now teaching yoga to the public in the grass across from st. Norbert. So it's definitely happening.

My memory isn't perfect but I believe the giants, chargers, and cardinals all mandated yoga Las season. Possibly swap the chargers for the Seahawks? I have no idea what the results were but I love the idea.

Zero2Cool (5h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (9h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (11h) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (14h) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (15h) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
