Does the Saints training and medical teams deserve serious scrutiny?

I understand all teams have injuries but the Saints seem to have way more than others

I think you just follow them more closely. Plenty other teams have tons of injuries. Can only prevent so much.

I think DA did a complete overhaul of the training staff. I do think we need a complete break with Oshner. They seem to be giving us their bottom of the rung doctors.

If we keep Dennis then keep the medical staff

I don't know if it's the medical staff or just not putting an emphasis on not drafting/signing injury-prone players, but both the Pels and Saints seem to be the most oft-injured teams in their respective leagues.

Yes, some of it is that we pay more attention to these teams, but the amount of games Saints/Pels miss, especially to start players is crazy.

Who are you suggesting? Saints also use Touro for some things. Doctors can't fix everything.

Blame needs to be placed with Loomis. Cap terribly mismanaged. Injured players staying too long. People thought MT would come back and play, was never gonna happen. Not sure what they were thinking or maybe had no choice with his contract.

The Saints did set a NFL record for number of starters last year (58). Sure, some of that was COVID and suspensions but all other teams were dealing with the same issues.

1) I think that some of it is the fact that you pay attention to the Saints more.

2) Every team has had serious injuries especially on the OL.

I think the move in the future may mean carrying 9-10 OL players on the roster.

Not to mention the turf the saints play on is the one that gets scrutinized and players want improvements
