Quote:I'm not big on the 'conspiracy theory' stuff, but this rash of receiver injuries is starting to smell a little fishy... especially since they are of the type injury (hamstring) that is difficult to diagnose. Do these guys not want to play or what??? 

 

-3-4 days a week strength and conditioning + practice + being on the field for a majority of the offensive snaps on gameday

-incorporating heavy weight low rep leg exercises immediately followed by explosive lower body movements + sprints/medium distance slow paced running + stretching

 

Hamstrings are very easy to pull and tear, expecially from sprinters.  In professional football, a game that is run 90% of the time at full speed, it's hard to believe that it doesn't happen more often.

 

We use our legs so much everyday to workout or even to get from point "a" to point "b", these guys are using their's 5x that amount.
