[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 186913, member: 1640"] Toss up question to the group. Excuse the preamble that goes with it. It seems like over the years I have noticed that teams that struggle seem to have more injuries. (before you say, "duh," and slap your head bear with me) I am not saying that the season goes south due to mounting injuries, I am saying that the team shows early on that it is struggling and then the injury avalanche starts to mount. I seem to recall this happening to Tech in the past. Bud Carson's first year comes to mind. So a possible theory might be that teams that are struggling do not put sufficient pressure on the opposing team leading the opponent to be more aggressive and able to get "better shots" at your players. Likewise your own players are not playing within themselves, pressing and trying to do too much which gets them in vulnerable positions. Anyway, I have seen this movie before and now that I am watching a rerun I am reminded that teams that run like well oiled machines rarely have injuries in bunches but more like one or two key injuries for a season, whereas teams that struggle can have five starters go down within a couple of weeks. Anyway, it would not surprise me to see more injuries with this team until we start to get some timing and continuity back and, conversely, if we were to suddenly start clicking on both sides of the ball our injury rate would drop. Right now we are just over matched in several ways. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
