vmax Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm loving the reports that keep coming in on the strength and conditioning program. Improving the Ravens' training program has received heightened attention in recent years. Since March 2014, the Ravens had 69 instances of any player being placed on an injured reserve of some sort, which are tied for second-most in the NFL with the Giants. Over the past three seasons, Baltimore is 6-8 in regular-season games played in December and January, which is tied for the ninth-worst mark in the league.What sets apart Saunders' workout program is it's tailored to football. There are high-intensity drills in which you give 100 percent effort for a burst, get 30 seconds to rest and and then do it all over again. It's getting the players' body adapted to the flow of a football game..."I can guarantee you this: We will be the strongest, most in-shape Ravens team that this team has ever had," Weddle said....http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/35452/eric-weddles-this-will-be-the-strongest-most-in-shape-ravens-team-ever This may get the team the 2-3 more wins they need. The game is won at the line of scrimmage and in the 4th quarter.How many 4th quarter meltdowns did we see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I find it so fascinating that ppl fall for spin or propaganda so easily. This is where I learned about the new conditioning coach a yr ago. Am I the only one who can remember a yr in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 You know what's really fascinating? Someone that doesn't root for the Ravens but is here every fucking day, to throw in his two sense that everyone laughs at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 So with all the injuries what is going on with conditioning? It's a total failure. Like everything they do.Clearly the Ravens can't do one thing right.Why even yesterday, the elderly gentleman, who parks Bisciotti's car, ..well...his bowels broke loose in it. Even Harbaugh's wife burnt the meat loaf.It's ridiculous the news that comes out of that place every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You made the point even though the guy had been here a yr and the results sucked to think things would be better. Joust figured you should explain how your POV was working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 There are 2 tests to see how well this new conditioning program works.1. Are the Ravens strong and fast in the 4th quarter and their opponents wearing down?2. Are the Ravens in better shape and playing at a higher level than their opponents in December when teams wear down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are down in the 4th like in Pit on x-mas day? Isn't there an aspect about being conditioned so you limit injuries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 You can condition amd strength train all you want but there are only so many injuries it can limit, not prevent. Hamstring injuries cam be limited, but can still happen especially if over done. Knees, nope, no matter what anyone says, you can't do much about thoae injuries. Feet, fingers, toes, nope, only make them more susceptible. Dislocations? Yes, you can limit them, but then, if you are prone to them, you are out of luck. Back injuries? To some extent yes, strong core and back muscles help protect the spine, but a disc will go whwn it is time to go... The biggest impact from the proper training is in, as Max said, late in games, late in the season. Minor injury recovery as well, stronger tendons & ligaments but they too can be over worn.

cravnravn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Conditioning is fine for seasons end, but what about beginning of the season? As I recall we started out 3-0, the proceeded to go 0 for October losing to slappies like the Skids and Jets and Oakland. Pops brought up Christmas day game ughhhh. That game was lost end of 3rd quarter and the begining of the 4th when we put 2 field goals up in a span of two minutes, somehow someway we needed a 7 spot on one of those drives. Don't know how conditioning could of prevented Pitts final drive. They drove at will with a minute to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Conditioning is obviously essential but is really the red herring to rediscovering our winning culture here. No questioning the need for a smart, effective conditioning program. The real need, in my mind, is acquiring-drafting much needed talent, esp offensive playmakers and lineman - something we haven't had a penchant for doing in a long time. We get that straightened out; winning and proper conditioning will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Speaking of conditioning, it's that time of year to get our keyboards cleaned up.Our annual ER posters inspection found some disturbing sights...We can do better than this gang! It's time for our off season strength and conditioning program. We need to be in shape for the season so everybody needs to work out everyday. And keep it legal. We had to suspend one poster for the first 4 games of the season for performance enhancing drugs. It makes us look bad in the Ravens fans posting community, the cheater label is starting to get hung on us and face it....it can intimidate fellow posters whose keyboard skills are still at the rookie level. And Just Remember.... Edited June 10, 2017 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest impact from the proper training is in, as Max said, late in games, late in the season. Minor injury recovery as well, stronger tendons & ligaments but they too can be over worn.The problem with what you said is it is pretty well agreed upon that the increase in injuries the last several yrs is from a lack of hitting. When your body is not under that punishment it is not used to the pounding. That is part of conditioning so I would say it does prevent injuries. Conditioning is fine for seasons end, but what about beginning of the season? As I recall we started out 3-0, the proceeded to go 0 for October losing to slappies like the Skids and Jets and Oakland.

Don't know how conditioning could of prevented Pitts final drive. They drove at will with a minute to go.Make it so that final drive the game was already out of the margin of victory. Score on offense and your D needs to be able to hold strong in the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I don't disagree papa, these new camp rules play a big role in injuries and poor play, also, though in conditioning. Recovery with this team, from injuries appears to take longer, maybe that is just a mirage, maybe it is real, I don't know. But the trainer has been the same for ever it seems....

papasmurfbell Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 They hired him before last season. It was supposed to prevent the injuries last yr and now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 No, I am speaking about Marc Smith, the head trainer, now also in the front office. I looked him up, no wonder it seems so long, he has been with Ponzy Schemer and this team since back in Cleveland, some 30 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
