I think that this was kind of expected for Reed to be placed on the PUP list. We were told Arian would be ready to go by the start of TC, but I expect him to be removed from it pretty soon. Much ado about nothing IMO.

Arian is now 2 months post being "carted off the field" with a "minor calf strain." This is separate from a simple calf muscle "spasm" as seen with some conditions as dehydration. I emphasized that calf injuries can be even more worrisome than hamstring injuries. When it first occurred I posted that ANY calf strains/tears on one side commonly sets up for strain/tears of the other calf...and is definitely associated with such.

I will now point out that the Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. And a common cause leading to Achilles tendon strain/tear is a chronic tightening of the calf muscles, especially following re-injured or unhealed calf strain/tear. This chronic tightening can lead to chronic inflammation and thus weakening of the Achilles tendon (Achilles tendonitis), which is the prodrome to its tear/rupture.

Not having Arian at least participate in practices after this length of time, especially non-contact, reasonably confirms to me that this certainly was not a "minor" problem from the onset. Whether it is a function of his heavy load last year or not, there is something that is going on that for whatever reason is not being revealed at this time.

I definitely trust your opinion on things such as this. I guess if anything positive can be taken from him sitting out its the reps Tate and the younger guys are going to get. Arian doesn't need much practice time so I just hope its more of them wanting to take the cautious approach and get him back into the mix once the grind of TC ends.

It sure sounds like it. Six weeks until prime time sounds likes very short period of time for him to get game ready if he is still dealing with this. And even if he is, leg injuries have such a tendency to become nagging problems that it often takes a full offseason to recover. Tate is an adequate #2, but certainly not the threat that Foster is.

Hopefully he will recover quickly.

Right....or self imposed strategy to put emphasis more on rookies, undrafted free agents & borderline roster players. Getting bounced out after beating the Bengals back to back playoff experiences in large part because they have lacked depth @ key positions should weigh heavily on keeping top players, including Ed Reed, Arian Foster & Andre Johnson fresh when it counts by developing better depth around them, a good idea. :kitten:

Seems that way doesn't it. Supernaw found himself on the waived list/no recall. Guess he never recovered from his foot injury and there's a pile of TEs fighting for one roster spot.

I had high hopes for him prior. Hope he recovers fully and can grab a chance somewhere else.

One thing Texans don't do that I think they should is team stretching. They put that on the player to do beforehand, which invites a quick injury/pull imo.
Click to expand...

I remember hearing the Texans strength and conditioning coach on 610 a couple of weeks ago, and Vandermeer asked him about this. He pretty much said that each player has his own stretching program. They all have all the resources at their disposal, including personal trainers to assist them with stretching. I'm assuming that each player gets a stretching routine designed for them with the help of the Texans personnel, and it's not just up to them to do it on their own.

Stretching is an interesting subject. Studies have shown that when you stretch, you actually get weaker. Pure, old-school stretching should generally be done after a workout when the muscle is warm as opposed to prior to a workout.

What you should do before an athletic activity is warm-up: get your blood circulating and the muscles and tendons prepared for battle. The best way to warm-up is to simulate the activity you're going to do at a lower level of intensity.

This is counter to what people were taught 15-20+ years ago but it's been known in S&C circles for about 10-15 years.

Each player should have a specific stretching routine that they perform after workouts and at other designated times.
 
Mods - Could we have someone open a thread dedicated exclusively to training camp updates, reports, and issues and have it stickied at the top? I'm not sure this one is it as there is talk about tickets and such, but if it is can we sticky it?

I hear ya brother. Same here.

Anyone know who lined up at starting RT for the first practice?

That's the biggest ??? on the team at the moment imho.
 
Kubiak said Sharpton/Foster was surprise PUP but it was more just precautionary working with trainers for a bit before doing full camp.

Kubiak gets a little concerned with first day of camp that everyone wants to win the SB the first day and they are a little amped. He did the last part of practice indoors as a getting use to heat thing.

Watched Foster/Reed carefully on the side field. Foster looks like Foster. Kubiak said Reed looked ahead of where he thought he'd be. Reed looks in great physical shape, and it was good seeing him run, run with sled in a straight line, but don't have a sense of when he is going to be in speed guy kind of shape.

Didn't notice Sharpton. So have no opinion on that.
 
Keshawn Martin had a flashy day today.

Jeff Maehl had a nice deep pass caught in traffic.

Dre was Dre show. Made me say an involuntary whoa.

Hopkins didn't have a ton of targets.

Sam Montgomery looked in better shape than I thought he would. Not sure if the transcripts will have all his quotes about love of different fast food restaurants but moving toward salads.

This is very important point you bring up. We "spoke" of this in an old thread. Everyone used to be encouraged to stretch before prior heavy exercise believing that this would lessen the possibility of injury. It was found that this in fact encouraged injuries. Now it is known that simple brisk walking or gingerly running prior to stretching actually introduces increased blood supply to all muscle tissues, preparing them to naturally expand. This allows for avoidance of sudden stretching of a cold muscle which tends to maintain in a contracted, shortened state. If this regimen is left up to the individual player instead of supervised as a group, it wouldn't be surprising for individual trainers/players take the wrong road out of ignorance or in the process of trying to "shortcut" the preparation when "time-restrained." In either case, the player is likely to suffer the consequences, if not now, then later.

A common sports medicine observation is the association of ankle injuries subsequently developing low back problems. After an ankle sprain you may also lose some of the control of the ankle and your balance may be affected. This means that not only are you more likely to turn the ankle again but it also changes the way you walk which can result in a torsion or strain through the lower back. This is one possible cause of back pain developing and progressing for ‘no apparent reason’ many years after an ankle sprain. To avoid such problems it is important not to ignore minor ankle strains. Montgomery has already experienced back problems. Was his ankle giving him problems prior to that. No matter what though, an ankle injury now gives more concern to the back problem cropping back up.............especially if he is not tip top shape.

In previous training camps I'd attended, I seem to recall all the players "stretching" en masse before breaking off into their specialty groups. Does that not happen any more?
More importantly, are you and Doc saying they're not doing it sufficiently/effectively??
:thinking:
 
Here's what Geoff Kaplan had to say about the stretching and warming up routine when asked specifically.. Really not much, but FWIW.

Follow the link, then find the entry from 7/16/2013 titled TEXANS ATHLETIC TRAINER GEOFF KAPLAN ON TAA 07/16/2013 (currently on page 2) and fast forward to about 3:35. I didn't find a way to link to this directly.

I haven't been able to go to any training camps so I don't know what they're doing now vs. what they were doing then.

I didn't like the approach of our original S&C guy under C&C who continued for the first few years of the Smithiak era. That guy was supposed to be a cutting edge guy but from everything I read, he was using out-dated and obsolete approaches. I believe he did have everyone doing an en masse static stretch prior to practice.

From what I've read, I trust this latest batch of S&C guys a lot more. They've got a more modern, less machine-reliant approach that's more in-line with what I've seen in the literature. I believe they've re-vamped the warm-up approach and so you won't see that big group of guys stretching anymore.

I consider this a good thing.

Transcripts from first day of OTA's [HT.com]
Head Coach Gary Kubiak
(on how the first practice of training camp went) “Yeah, I thought it was good. I liked the conditioning. I like the way we came back, good sense of urgency. Obviously, we’ve got a lot of, well, for a first day out, we’ve got quite a few guys that are limited or have something going on. We’ve got to bring them along the right way, but I like the conditioning of the team, good start.”

(on the enthusiasm of the first practice) “Yeah, there really is. You’ve got to be real careful the first morning because there’s so much enthusiasm. They’re so gunned up. You have a tendency for guys to really gas themselves. (We) just try to get them into their routine. I like the personality of our group. We’ve got a few different faces that are going to be leaders on this team. We’ve got some young kids I think will really help this team, so it’ll be fun to watch it come together.”

(on having ILB Brian Cushing back and not overexerting him early) “Yeah, no doubt. Obviously, there’s a plan in place. I think he worked about 25 minutes today. We’ll keep heading that way. We’ll do the right thing. We’re trying to work him toward, obviously, thinking about grass in the preseason. So that starts to talk about preseason two or three, one of those, but we’ll stick with our plan.”

(on RB Arian Foster’s situation) “He’s doing really good. A little bit of a surprise to me because I thought he’d be ready to go, but Kap (Head Athletic Trainer Geoff Kaplan) and they just think he needs a few days with them to work into the routine. But he’s had a good summer; he’s been here every day. I expect him back pretty quickly.”

(on ILB Darryl Sharpton’s injury status) “Sharp’s a little bit of a surprise to us. (He) came back with a sore groin, so we didn’t really know where we were because obviously we haven’t seen him in a little while. (He) probably had as good of an offseason as anyone on our team, so it was a surprise and we’ll watch him here for a couple days and see where he’s at.”

(on OLB Sam Montgomery and making him active) “We didn’t like the condition he came back in, but he made up a lot of ground the last few days. He was ready to go back out (and) tweaked his ankle a little bit today, so Sam’s just got to stay in one piece, figure out what we’re doing and I think (Defensive Coordinator) Wade (Phillips) and (LBs Coach) Reggie (Herring) will do a great job with him. We’ve just got to keep him healthy.”

(on TE Garrett Graham not practicing) “(He’s) sick. Actually, we didn’t even let him report yesterday. Very sick with some type of virus. Spent the day in the hospital yesterday. He is back home. Probably will not see him until Sunday. We’ll try to keep him away from everybody else.”

(on other players who weren’t initially active on the roster) “Let’s see. You’ll just have to start asking me. Other than that, we’re just trying to work some guys like (T Derek) Newton in slowly, (T Brennan) Williams in slowly, but they did practice today. We’ve got guys we have to keep off the turf. A few guys will probably see that as we go, but we’ve got a plan for all of them. Talked about all of them, but good to get started.”

(on if he’s changed the conditioning test) “No, I don’t have one. I’ve never had one. I just think that if you have a great offseason program, which I think we do and you let them know you trust them, I think their condition test is practice this morning (and) that they show up. Guys see that they haven’t been doing anything, I mean, they’ll find out real quick. I think we passed the test. Our guys have been good.”

(on if he was impressed with the catches the young receivers were making today) “Yeah, but I’ll tell you what, like (WR) Keshawn (Martin) did that all through the OTAs, did some good stuff. (WR) Jeff Maehl had a really good offseason. It’s a young group. It’s committed to youth. We need them to step up as quickly as they can.”

(on having LB Brian Cushing back) “It’s just good to have him back. He’s always been the emotional leader of this football team. He’s chomping at the bit to go for two hours, but we’re going to work him in the right way and make sure he’s ready to go.

(on how he would characterize the right tackle battle) “We’re very talented there, but we’ve got a lot of work to do because we missed a great deal of time. We’ve got to have some patience here as we get them both (T Derek Newton and T Brennan Williams) to full speed. We have a young player in (T David) Quessenberry who we think can go out and compete, but we don’t want to run him all over the place right now, so we’re starting him inside and we’ll see what happens. But we’ve got to get them both to where they’re 100 percent, competing every day and then see what happens.”

(on T Ryan Harris) “If we started today, Ryan would start at right tackle because Newton is not totally back and Williams is not totally back. So Ryan’s the guinea pig so to speak, he plays all over the place right now, but he’s had a good offseason and he’s 100 percent.”

(on FS Ed Reed’s status) “I’m impressed with where he’s at. He’s come a long way, watching him work with the guys today. They’ve got him on a program. We’ll work him out early in the mornings when the team’s doing individual stuff and try to have him available when we’re doing team, so he’s learning our system and those type of things. He knows what he has to do to get ready, but I’m impressed with how far he’s come.”

(on what he thinks about the new field in the Methodist Training Center) “I like it. It’s dark in here though isn’t it? We’ve got to figure out, bring a flashlight in here or something. No, I like it. I think our guys have more confidence in it right now with this new stuff. If we do have to come in here, I think they’re a little more confident with what we’re working on.”

(on if he’s more confident in the playing surface inside the Methodist Training Center) “It doesn’t matter what I (think). I’m not the one running on it. I think it’s nice/ it’s something that we play on every week and obviously the old one that we had was starting to wear out a little bit. I think it’s a good thing to have if we need it.”

(on WR Andre Johnson helping the younger receivers and also asking them to tell him if he’s doing something wrong and if that is part of what makes Johnson a good pro) “No doubt. Usually, you get guys at that age, they’re kind of set in their ways and stuff and this guy’s eager. I’ve told him before, ‘You don’t have to go to this meeting or that meeting,’ but he’s still there. He wants to learn and that’s why he’s going to play a long time. That’s why he keeps being successful.”

(on the decision to move OLB Brooks Reed back outside after he practice inside during OTAs) “First off, we thought if he’s going to get reps inside, let’s do it in the offseason. The second thing, I think, one of the biggest things is Sharp (ILB Darryl Sharpton) had such a great OTAs or spring, that it was easy for Brooks to go back. As you can see, you never know how that can change again, but, we know one thing, he’s going to be somewhere and he can play both spots.”

Have any of yall watched the LT interview with Arian Foster at training camp today yet?

Arian wants to be a 1000 yard receiver.

I guess I respect the lofty goal
 
I don't know if I missed it, but since Bradie James is no longer with us, I'm assuming Cushing is moving back to MIKE?

Cushing.chron_-306x203.jpg
 
Some of my thoughts...

Gary, you are surprised about Sharpton?

When Cush get his first tackle this season I am concerned he will burst a vocal chord screaming. I know I probably will.

When I heard Montgomery came off field limping, first thought was "due to Ninja's foot up his patooie". When I heard he returned I thought "Ninja must be sneaking up on him."

Graham, please, please, please stay away from team until you do not exhale bugs!

First time I read about RTs I thought it said "Harris would start as Newton not 100% black and Williams not 100% black." Wait...what?

If Martin can fill the slot and Hopkins is as good as we hope, Schaub may throw for 5,000 yds.

Looking at the picture who is taller AJ or Hopkins?

Back to a little history review/lesson. He's had a quad rupture, a groin problem and a hip problem that have cumulatively caused him to lose long periods of play time in the past.........the quad rupture resulted in IR, the hip injury last year suffered a setback when he experienced a groin strain (adductor tendon) the second day of TC after which he was placed on the PUP, and again eventually ended up on IR after he re-injured his hip..............these are all injuries that tend to be closely related. Now he shows up with a "minor groin tightening".........as per Kubiak "I was surprised"............but thank G-d this time it's "minor," right?

First we heard he was out of shape. My first thought this was some Jedi Mind trick to get him pissed for the season.

Then they took him off the PUP less than 36 hours after putting him on. I felt vindicated...

Then he comes limping off the field. I thought the F@#'n marshmallow boy needs to get a clue. I hope to God they have a sock party planned for his fat a55.
