Lynn Announces Justin Herbert Starter For Rest Of Season

The fact remains, we've been one of the most injured teams in the league over the last 5+ years. One or two seasons of a rash of injuries is bad luck, this many and it's a trend.

A trend of what? Your statement on coaching being a factor and it being on Lynn still makes absolutely no sense. Everyone is feeling the injury bug this year because of the shortened offseason. Some a lot more than us.

Edit: what’s the difference between 2017 and the other Lynn years as HC?

maybe part of it is that even if players are not really bigger than players in the past, the players today are backing more muscle and weight on their bodies than our bodies(bones, tendons, etc) are naturally made to handle(causing extra stress when players cut etc)..... and long ago, the players that played longer tended to do alot of their working out, working out naturally, using mostly your body weight, outside running up hills, bleachers, calisthenics, etc which make you use all your muscles together over using machines that isolate muscles and allow you to over size some muscles....... rather than building muscles evenly and that move together......

Nature of the NFL unfortunately. Using an example from our team, Druze Tranquil had an impressive training and injury prevention regime but it was a unlucky play that ended his season.

Says this forum. If you look at others teams,..... and one season we did when we thought we had to lead the league in injuries....and we didnt. They all have injuries and we werent the top injured teams in seasons we thought we were. Our depth has just not been as good. Or its just the Spanos curse.

Just an FYI, this is what Lynn and the FO did when he first became HC in 2017. We had the 31st worst AGL in 2016 (only the Bears had it tougher), while jumping up to the 16th in 2017.

So what changed in 2018 and 2019 if we did everything the same as 2017?
