There are two reasons Charlie Partridge, defensive line coach, isnt losing sleep over the rash of injuries that have struck his group.
One, its April, not August.
The other is he believes any negative energy on his part will rub off on his players. Thus he remains upbeat and positive during practices and meetings, even though he had 8 players who practiced in sweats.
He said that with all the extra reps the younger, less experienced guys are getting, it will make the defense a better unit whether they play as a backup or a starting role.

I'm a tad worried, Charlie, but I most certainly support what you are doing.
