Panthers have put a nice coat of green paint on the field. Might not help the footing.

When we've reached the point of painting the field green, it's time to consider field turf.

I love our natural grass field, but we're going to be a contender for a while playing deep into January so we need a field that will hold up.

Which ultimately will lead to Bowl games not being played at BoA. Don't see that happening due to revenue.

 

Thiswill likely bean issue or a non issue depending on how u look at it for years to come

I personally view it as a non issue

The increased risk of ankle/knee injuries associated with field turf is a concern that has to be weighed against playing on green dirt.

Many venues with natural grass "paint" their fields.  NASCAR does it, and I would be surprised if before preseason game no. 1 at BOA if they don't paint the field.

I get that, but it sounds like we're at the point of painting it to hide the dirt - not to enhance the grass. 

Maybe I'm assuming too much.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
