I get injuries. They happen.
I don't understand is the frequency of the injuries the last few years. IMO, it's a strength and conditioning issue. The team hasn't looked "explosive" since Spray left and conspicuously, the injuries issues started soon after Spray's departure.
Blaming injuries on disappointing seasons or talking about injuries affecting the current season does little to grow the program. It's deflating, both to the players and the fanbase. It's ALMOST like Stock is starting the blame game for another disappointing season before the season ends.
FWIW, I don't recall Stock blaming losses on injuries early in his tenure. His straightforward approach was something I respected greatly early in his tenure. If something went good, Stock credited the players. If something went bad, it was on the coaches. I loved that approach.
Something has changed the last few years. He has blamed injuries and thrown players under the bus on more than one occasion.
