you are assuming all other variables are constant. they are not.

That sounds like a sheer abstraction, given the fact that I named several facts, including that RG did not arrive with the Rams until 2009 and the injury epidemic started 3 years earlier. The logic of that is pretty compelling. Otherwise someone would have to claim the unlikely possibility that the Rams just happened to hire 2 conditioning coaches in a row whose approaches directly led to a very unusual rash of injuries for only one unit (OL).

BTW the previous strenght & conditioning coach was Dana Le Duc, who held that position from 1999-2008.

But if what I said assumes all variables are constant, so does the assumption that only a McVay hire accounts for the lack of OL injuries.

In other words, no one actually knows the answer to this one. What caused the long OL injury epidemic and why did it stop? Either way, no matter who someone names by trying to put it on a name, they do not know.

Meanwhile, on a smaller point, again, Saffold stopped his repeat injury history in 2016, so he's still not a good example.
