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 (16h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (17h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (17h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (17h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
