When Stanford went through a whole bunch of injuries after Shannon Turley left, I think I remember there were lots of discussions about strength training and injuries. Any thoughts about the last couple of years for the 49ers? They seem really snakebit the last two seasons.

I have zero data, but I would guess that injuries in the NFL is an equal-opportunity thing, team-by-team. Protecting your assets strikes me as a pretty high priority practice given the money at stake.
