Jim Harbaugh Presser, Tarik Black has fracture

Literally everything you said about literally everything he said is wrong is right.

If you parse it fine enough, and get rid of the comparison to the other receivers, the part about Black "showing promise" was not wrong.  But everything else seems off base.

Everything he said was wrong On purpose.  

I miss it too. . .  But he also expounded to say that if he can't control himself on the sideline for the benefit of the team, how can he ask his players to?

I agree.  Read my post again, I think you will see the /s.

I seem to recall reading that resistance training increases bone density, so that seems unlikely.

That 15 pounds of extra muscle broke his other foot!

"When you gain, say, 15 pounds of muscle in a short amount of time the body isn’t used to keeping the weight upright. Which increases pressure on certain joints/ligaments/bones."

This is hardly the first time in Michigan football history that players are adding significant amounts of weight and muscle after they arrive as freshmen. If doing so consistently led to injuries in the feet, we'd have been seeing foot injuries far more commonly and frequently in recent years than we have. And we'd be seeing an epidemic of it all over the CFB landscape.

Now are football players just getting too big overall for their joints/ligaments/bones everywhere in the body? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, but focusing specifically on feet injuries under Herbert seems like trying to take random incidence and turning it into data with predictive power.

The fact that you are equating the result of fat gain and muscle gain as basically causing the same problems in the body tells me you are either overgeneralizing or don't know what you are talking about.  The "short amount of time" in this case is 6+ months.  These are P5 athletes, not sedentary office workers looking to lose the ol' spare tire.

I figured it was only a matter of time before the "BUT WHY DID THIS INJURY HAPPEN, WE MUST DIAGNOSE ON A MESSAGE BOARD" crowd started pointing fingers at Herbert.  We finally have an S&C coach that might be somewhat elite and the keyboard warriors are already blaming him for injuries.

Or no shoes, or untied shoelaces... worked for Barry and Denard.

I have no independent understanding of this. Nor do I know whether MGoUser Max does. But he said this in the Herbert welcome post:

"there are some disconcerting deficiencies in his understanding of [squat] execution"

And from an Arkansas board:

"He does focus a lot on legs and back. Which, honestly, can slow a player down a bit. IMO, this emphasis in training has contributed to the foot injuries we've seen here."

S&C is an easy scapegoat and I don't have enough evidence to suggest anything other than coincidence, but ultimately it seemed worth discussing in light of the Black injury.
