Michael Thomas likes Nader's Tweet on the Saints Medical Staff
Im confused. Did he like the tweet that calls for firing DA?
How great would that be?
For the record, I had a good friend who worked for the Saints/Pels medical staff (he worked for Oschner, and he is now working for another professional team in the west). He enjoyed his time working with the Oschner training staff (from 2014-2018), but when I last spoke with him on the topic (Dec. 2021) he looks back and laughs at his time here, and how far behind the curve the team/Oschner were at the time. From facilities to treatments, to how the teams approached players with recovery plans.
When Gayle took over, the team clearly made strides to get up to par with the rest of the league. But talking with this friend (who still has contacts within the team), as of last year the team is still not on the same footing as his team.
For the record, if any of you have friends/family that work for a pro team’s training staff, ask them about how cooperative players are with recovery plans. This friend worked with Jrue Holliday, and as open minded as you would think Jrue would be to recovery plans, he was against the Pels training staff’s recovery plan. Players aren’t easy to work with.
