[Raiders Own You]

Shell is working the players hard but when somone gets hurt Shell gives them time to recover.. Every team has players with a sore hammy or groin it happens it's apart of the game.

All it is, is Art is working the hell out of them. Thats why they are all banged up. Because alot of them arent, if you notice.

darn i guess this is what comes wit running more intense practices. the practice experience is more valuable but the injuries pile up more

[The Shocker]

these guys need to get right`soon

[NationVader]

The team had this coming to them. I think Art is making them work their asses off because of the slack that has been for the last 3 years. I hope they all come off of the injuries though. Maybe they will come out of all of this as REAL Raiders.

[punisher]

common camp injuries all minor.

[ncraider84]

Injuries are to be expected. I just hope they are not to serious and doesn't appear that they are. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I hear what some of you are saying regarding injuries. Yes they do happen. It is a tough game played by tough men. Having said that, strength and conditioning should eliminate a lot of minor, simple injuries. When people started get dinged up here and there last year I was right in line with what OG was saying. Strength and conditioning won't eliminate every injury, but it should reduce them. It just makes you wonder if we are doing enough in the off season as well as through the season. Time will tell if this is an issue but if we have an over abundance of injuries again this year, this is one coach I would seriously evaluate...

[R8RFOX]

I think it is by-product of very intense practices. These are more growing pains than real injuries. I'm not too concerned now but if it gets worse, I'll start to worry about our strength and conditioning coach. Its also up to the athelete to get himself ready in the offseason by keeping in game shape. I know if I was making NFL money, I would live in the gym. Hell, I live in the gym now. I think we'll be OK...

I remember our fearless leader saying that the players were gonna wish they weren't there. I remember him saying that they had to go through this **** to get tough...this is the playing tough part. The injuries are a part of the game. None appear to be serious and the injuries should be an indicator of how fit the players are. It is a wake up call that Shell initiated to weed out the people that say they want it, but aren't down for the sacrifice.
