Oregon Trying To Kill Their Players

At least three Oregon football players were admitted to a local hospital after “grueling strength and conditioning workouts” at the school last week, The Oregonian reported on Monday. The players are redshirt junior offensive lineman Doug Brenner, freshman offensive lineman Sam Poutasi, and freshman tight end Cam McCormick.

After the workouts at Oregon, Poutasi’s mother told The Oregonian he’d “complained of very sore arms” and received a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. That’s a dangerous syndrome that stems from muscular injury, in which muscle fibers die and their contents enter the bloodstream. It can lead to kidney failure. It appeared after workouts at Iowa about six years ago.

Oregon released this statement, which the paper says comes on behalf of the entire athletic department and doesn’t carry a single author’s name:

The safety and welfare of all of our student-athletes is paramount in all that we do. While we cannot comment on the health of our individual students, we have implemented modifications as we transition back into full training to prevent further occurrences. We thank our medical staff and trainers for their continued monitoring of the students and we will continue to support our young men as they recover.

3 Oregon football players are in the hospital after ‘grueling’ offseason workouts


It was announced last week that Oregon’s strength coach of three decades, Jim Radcliffe, won’t return to the program for the 2017 season. The school hasn’t said if his departure is connected to the players’ hospitalizations.

Further detail on the workouts from the Oregonian story:

Players this week were required to finish the same workouts, which were described by multiple sources as akin to military basic training, with one including up to an hour of continuous push-ups and up-downs. The sources said that some players "passed out" and others later complained of discolored urine, which is a common symptom of rhabdomyolysis. After testing, others were found to have highly elevated levels of creatine kinase, an indicator of the syndrome.


Oregon went 4-8 this season and fired its head coach, Mark Helfrich. The Ducks replaced him with South Florida coach Willie Taggart, who took over in December.

The newspaper said Taggart visited “some” of the hospitalized players before leaving the state on a recruiting trip. The players are at a facility in Springfield, Ore., the paper said, having been there since “late last week.”

Brenner is a reserve offensive guard for the Ducks. McCormick and Poutasi were both true freshmen this past season, and each took a redshirt year.

Man o Man remember back in the day when these workouts were designed to make the pussies quit?

News Flash, not everyone can be a football player. Its a Brutal game, if you make training and practice less brutal guess what the actual Game will not be.

To me what is Hilarious, I bet 100% of all Training Boxers would have Aced this Training Session with barely a complaint, let alone an Injury.

Stop Pandering to Pussies, if they cant play QUIT!!

Lets forget people prone to this should not be playing football.

The muscle damage is most often the result of a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or drug abuse. Other causes include infections, electrical injury, heat stroke, prolonged immobilization, lack of blood flow to a limb, or snake bites.

Can we see their Drug Tests? I would like to make sure at least they are not Druggies wouldnt you?

If Oregon had just made a bowl game then they could have worked out as a team... just sayin

Snake bites for the win. Eugene is full of garter snakes. The red racers are the worst of the lot.

So you BS the very post that already responded to this ludicrous opinion before even posting it.

According to other players on the team, the workout wasn't that bad.

And last, what the hell do you expect the kids to say to the media? I'd be stunned if any of them said that it was too hard of a work out. They'd be laughed out of the building by pretty much everyone. Of course they are going to say they love it and it wasn't too much! There literally isn't any other response I'd expect no matter how bad it was. By definition football players are macho and why on earth would you expect them not to say they enjoyed the program and it was easy for them?

You ducks will defend any stupid thing your football program does. No matter what.

It's simple to say they were a bit overboard and failed to ramp up the workouts at a safe pace and are now correcting it. That's not a tough thing to say, unless you have your head inserted quite far up your ass.

Link to "impermissible benefits?"


I hope you're just trolling and not that ignorant.

Dude had a show cause after he left. Don't get your panties twisted about it

 

[WizardHawk]

sounds to me like it was less about the coaches pushing and more about the players pushing themselves, not being ready for this. which goes along with prior reports that some players were slacking when it came to weights and workouts. which then translated on the field.

Oregon suspends Ducks football strength coach after players' hospitalization
Suspended the S/C coach without pay for a month. Yeah, that really sounds like it's the kids own faults doesn't it?

 

[WizardHawk]

Will any duck fans now admit they went a bit overboard and got a few kids injured as a consequence? Or is it more blind defending at all costs even in the face of overwhelming evidence?

 

[Olyduck]

well since everyone was calling for accountability did you really think nothing was going to happen?
I mean he didnt get fired or arrested for attempted murder like you all wanted but they had to take some action.

 

[Olyduck]

Brenner has been released from the hospital

 

[mall3013]

Ours too!!

Brothers? Gotta be related, no?

 

[RobBase]

The NCAA needs to take action on this before some poor kid ends up dead.

Is Brian Kelly running practices there now?
