Tom Brands is a sharp dude. While they have seemingly experienced a rash of injuries, i don't think for one second that it's b/c of Tom's methods. 1) Tom's too smart for that and 2) think of the group w/ McDonough, Ramos, Metcalf, etc. none of them ever missed time and they were as just as much 'run through a wall' types as any of these guys.
Actually let's take inventory or Iowa's injuries
1) Spencer (but he still won 3 so they didn't miss any points at all)
2) Murin wore an arm brace for a short period of time but he didn't experience any drop in ability
3) Kemerer - could certainly argue his placements could have been higher - particularly the years he took 6th and 5th - but i also don't think it was shocking. 174 last year was crazy last year and he lost to CStarr when he was healthy.
is that it? who am i missing? Nelson, i guess but he's kinda been in a platoon most of his career.
