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

But how do you attribute Guice’s injury to anything done under Gruden when Guice has spent all of three months with the Redskins? Doesn’t pass the sniff test.

We were among the very hardest hit with injuries last year but others were too - SF, NYG, and the Colts were all decimated too. We had bad luck but nothing you’d consider a statistical anomaly to the point where you can question Gruden’s processes. Doesn’t make sense.

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.
