Tip of the hat to Teaters33 and CircleTheWagons88 for breaking it here first. :)

At least for the major areas. Hope to see a change in the injury report next year, as it will be on of the indications that they are improving on past failures. I would like o see a tougher camp as well… nothing crazy, but just some higher intensity. If the Bills do in fact have a roster that is not the most talented, which i realistically suspect will be the case, then I want a more intense team that punishes other teams, and I think these S&C coaches can be the building blocks of that…. we’ll see. Go Bills

… because either we were cursed by some fortune-teller in Louisiana, or our strength and conditioning programs stunk based on injuries over the last few years.
  The new players need Gamble to bulk up and increase their strength in order to compete in the NFL. So that’s a good hire.
  IMHO, the conditioning program is as important, or even more important. Running on the treadmill for an hour 5 days a week is fine for Joe civilian or your wife. PLAYING the game is a far different matter. The training program needs to focus on core exercises and (in the words of the referees) “football acts.” That’s why the good receivers spend their summers training at special programs. That’s why LT had his insane torture exercises during the offseason which allowed him to last for as long as he did.
  Has anyone ever read what Walter Payton and Jerry Rice used to to for their offseason programs? It was completely brutal and mostly “football acts”.
  The gym machines are cool, but you gotta get out and do the hard stuff.
  I don’t care if the coach used to make us do 1,000 wind-sprints during camp, we were always whipped at the end of the first game. Its just different. It takes a few weeks to get into “game shape.”
  For what its worth…………..

How are we supposed to know which one to blame for future injuries?

Was the worst move move of the decade by the Front Office. That says a lot.

In the world of olympic lifting this is definitely not an under the radar signing. John Gamble is a very well known strength coach and will help the team a ton.

In 2007, the Bills had 17 players on the IR. In 2009, the Bills lead the league in IRs w/ 20. The Vikings had (1), Cowboys (2), Cardinals and Jets had (4)…all playoff teams! Can we finally see what the Bills are capable of doing w/o key players ending their season prematurely? I like this move a lot. The season of 2010 is off to a good start. GO BILLS!!!

I hope they work well together and cross examine each others workouts. If not, then its certainly possible to negate effects of one type of training versus the other.

If you look at them cross-eyed, it looks like Casino and Gamble. An omen perhaps?

I think it’ll help if we stop drafting and playing undersized players in a weather environment and division that calls for bigger, stronger players to face physical teams like the Jets, Dolphins, and Pats.

But this I’m sure will help too.

I really don’t think it warranted a text message breaking news story on my cell phone. They like to waste my minutes.

how many people here think that if Ralph were involved we would have had two guys hired to perform the job usually manned by one? I think, pure conjecture of course, that this shows that Ralph is letting Nix handle the problems as he best sees fit. In this case, the hiring of two coaches goes against the cheaper route that is usually taken, Ralph may have insisted they split the pay of one coach though : )

I like the hirings. We really do need the help here, given how bad the injury situation has been lately.
