15 practices between now and April 18th. Lots of off days (for early Spring evaluations) and, presumably, Spring break...
30 injured reduced to 10 since November. That figure may indicate the need for improved conditioning facilities, or we may be back up to 30 - or more - by next November.

I wish the writer had thought to tell the fans whether practices would be open to them whenever they are held. Maybe the writer isn't a fan so he/she doesn't think like one.

The weight room and indoor training facilities are good. The S&C incompetence from the previous staff had a lot to do with the 30+ injured. Look for that number to improve a lot under Coach Woodfin!

I'm inclined to believe this, but we heard the same thing when we replaced Murder Martin with Chandler.
I would suspect a coach that picks up a player & carries him to the top of Legion Field might be someone that you would pay attention to as a player.

That, and all of the elite athletes he helped train in Los Angeles. Working in Green Bay probably helped too.
Look, I love Zac Woodfin, and and believe he'll do well. My point was the proof will be in the pudding.
I'd imagine his training techniques are more up to date than others having been at the pro level recently & I can't remember GB having too many injury problems other than the std wear & tear types w/ the occasional unexpected. I'm sure he'll have to undo some things from previous routines for his to become fully installed & there may be some injuries that occur as a result as the players bodies get used to it.

+1

I think things will improve because of the overall way coach will run the program. Remember, coach Clark said all the coaches will be in the weight room, so I don't think you can give all the credit to Zac if things improve.

If my memory serves me correctly the JOmustang38 guy is a former Blazer.
