Re: Derrius Guice’s ACL tear is latest example of the injury bug devouring the Redskins. Again. And again.

I do think maybe we need a tougher culture. But no amount of toughness can prevent an ACL. That shit just happens.
Guice's injury isn't a good example, but poor training methods can add to risk of injury in a hell of a lot less than 3 months. Not being properly warmed up and stretched can add to injury risk. Too many times in the last couple years I have watched 2 to 3 times as many Redskins limp off the field during a game compared to their opponents. As mentioned above it could be more on Allen acquiring players with injury histories.
