YoloinOhio Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR: The Pro Football Athletic Trainers Society has selected the #Bills athletic training staff as the NFL Athletic Training Staff of the year. Didn't Maroon want them fired?
BillnutinHouston Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Great news. I understand that the Pegulas can't exactly take credit for this, but it does further the narrative that the Pegulas want everything they do to be the best. Added talking point with free agents as well.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 how does one make this determination? least fewest injuries? best 40 times? data from those little GPS gadgets they wore in training / practice?
eball Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR: The Pro Football Athletic Trainers Society has selected the #Bills athletic training staff as the NFL Athletic Training Staff of the year. Didn't Maroon want them fired? That was certainly one of the story lines being floated around by the local media last Summer.
K D Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Wow that's pretty cool. My brother went to school with someone on the training staff. They did seem to have not as many injuries as in past years. I wonder specifically what they did to earn this recognition
YoloinOhio Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Here is an article about it. Doesn't give specific criteria but they also won in 2007 (Kevin Everett injury) http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/three-point-stance/2015/02/04/bills-trainers-win-award/22857395/

John from Riverside Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Great news. I understand that the Pegulas can't exactly take credit for this, but it does further the narrative that the Pegulas want everything they do to be the best. Added talking point with free agents as well. They can take credit for keeping them on staff in a turnover
NoSaint Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 how does one make this determination? least fewest injuries? best 40 times? data from those little GPS gadgets they wore in training / practice? id assume they look at the programs and facilities in place and any noteworthy developments.
YoloinOhio Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 @ajwilliams23: Bills' Training Staff Named NFL's Best in 2014 (via http://t.co/uRVr4lgp8t)not surprised by this at all, our guys are they best. Congrats! I don't know if it's part of the criteria but it seemed like players recovered quickly - missing the lower end of the projected time. Or none at all (Sammy with ribs/groin)
CardinalScotts Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 how is this stuff decided ? I find it funny Doug wanted a whole new staff
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 We would have been even better with St. Rusty Jones.
QB Bills Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Its because they have Tyrion Lannister on the payroll. Everyone loves that little guy.
eball Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Its because they have Tyrion Lannister on the payroll. Everyone loves that little guy. He gives the best high/low fives around.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Well t go bud carpenter and the rest of the staff
rumblefish Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 funny, just recently I heard a rumor that staff was to be replaced, by new ownership's, cleaning house policy, guess that won't happen right away with this reward going to present staff,

Fadingpain Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 In my opinion injuries or a lack of them go hand in hand with bad and good organizations in sports. It's not all dumb luck and random chance. Some of it is, of course. But good organizations are physically fit and well prepared from a fitness standpoint. Bad organizations...not so much. It doesn't matter the sport. I think this is a good thing!
Billsguy Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I would like the coaching staff and the team to win something now! In addition, bring back the Buffalo Jills and pay them!
ndirish1978 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Trainers shouldn't be confused with strength and conditioning. S&R is supposed to develop athleticism and help avoid injuries and trainers help deal with injuries
