This is the NFL, and all teams have injuries. But the Bolts seem to have had more than their fair share this year. I feel this deserves a discussion of its own because it will likely be one, if not the main justification by the ownership for not making any coaching changes or replacing the GM at the end of the season. I have read numerous opinions on this board about what is causing so many injuries ranging from the SoFi turf to Staley going too easy on the players in camp. The accepted narrative is that injuries are never an excuse for losing, and that's fair. That's not what this thread is about. Why do you think the Bolts are having an abnormally high number of injuries, and key ones at that this season?

Yes injuries. But poor depth on the team. Look at Balt and SF win with backup QB's today. Our bu QB's should not be on any roster. A microcosm of the problem. We have no qualified bu WR's on the team. We kept Storm as opposed to developing someone else. Poor GM and coaching are also killing the team. -
I'm going to assume that injuries correlate with how well a team blocks, tackles, covers and separates (in the case of WRs). Just doing a cursory look through history, many of the oft-injured squads have trouble with the fundamentals, i.e. they are lacking physicality.Comment

The ugly,ugly fact is that the loser,idiot bastards in charge of this team have no football knowledge and zero know how and will not step down or get out of the way.You always have to look up in any organization whether said group is successfull or in this teams case pathetically underachieving to see why.The SpAnus group are horrible at talent evaluation and basically football in general yet still have decided to have their family spread like a cancer throughout most of the high positions of operation for this team.It sucks because unless they decide to go against their usual modus operandi and pay out of their own small pockets to hire a real GM and let said GM hire a respectable coaching staff nothing will ever change.We can debate coaches and players and GMs but it will always,always come down to this Shmuck and his lame ass family making the wrong(cheap) decision. Puke.Originally posted by Air Coryell View Post

I think the WR get injured a lot because they like rangy and possession type WR and have them going up for jump balls or into tight windows a lot getting all jacked up. Like MW is always injured. Maybe start drafting more burners who can get yac or just make big plays - guys like Tyreek Hill, Terry Mclaurin ,Justin Watson etc . Even Guyton but they got him all jacked up running crossing routes.Comment

3-4 injuries to a team can hurt, but also covered up with good coaching and adjustments. 11+ injuries and that team should be looking for #1 draft slot.
I wanna blame the SOFI turf but dont know if Rams have suffered injuries as well?Comment

His bio reads "was a key member of the selection committee responsible for the hiring of General Manager Tom Telesco and Head Coach Mike McCoy" and "Spanos has seen his role in the NFL Draft grow exponentially since his ascension in 2013."*
