...anyways it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know what the pack is doing as far as their warming up/stretching is not working.

Now with more and more substitution packages players are not playing every snap. A guy is begging for injury by stretching before the game, then siting on his dead ass for 30 minutes then, then uses max exertion for 5-7 seconds w/1 minute rest between for 2-3-4 plays; then sits on his dead ass for 20 minutes, then max exerting for a few more plays; then sits on his dead ass for an hour thru half time and then max exertion...Especially guys that only play STs.
If kickers didn't "warm-up" the entire game and try to get 5-6 kicks in before each kick; there's not one that'd make it thru the season. The human body just doesn't react well going from zero to hundred.
If I'm coach when the O is on the field for 20-30 minutes every defender and the O guys not playing will be low impact movements for half that time they're not on field. Making certain not to tire the muscles; but keeping blood flowing to them. Just standing on the side line and twisting, swinging arms, leg lifts, etc a couple of times every 2-3 minutes will keep blood constantly flowing to the muscles. IMO this would reduce injury and enhance performance.
Uffda...call you boys at Packers.com and have them ask Mike McCarthy why his players are allowed to sit on their dead asses/stand like statues when they're not in the game.
