I too prefer natural grass but the technology in turf has come a long long way.

The Texas Rangers put Shaw Sports Turf in their new stadium about a year ago, interesting video on the technology here:

 

Good stuff, as my old man would say- "Evil old white people and evil oil"

Anybody know the number to grounds keeping? 

I'm looking for a good deal on a used weed whacker.

One time for training camp, I drove down and went straight to the field, around 6-7 pm. I didnt get anyone rolling up to me but one of the grounds crew. 15 minutes of talking and he says, "Well Bas you need to leave now I got to cut the grass" This was after a long golf cart ride too, the grass look perfect and like it was just cut. I thanked him and had the long walk back to car, sure enough he was cutting the grass with one of the weirdest lawn cutters Ive seen. Years later seen the same ones at pinehurst golf courses.

Well I've seen two or three article links posted, but this one actually says grass ( in great condition) actually grips more (footwear pending also sometimes I think) during "peak torque" making it more likely to cause injury verses 3rd generation artificial turf.   https://www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2019/1/7/turf-and-injuries-the-data-hurts

Not saying this is all correct, but this guy appears to have done his homework, or at least has looked up everyone else's studies and crossed them?

That should never be a consideration for an NFL team. 

We are going to have our own dome in a few years. This stadium is being built to house a soccer team and multiple other events. Its not just a "Football" stadium anymore.

Why not play in dirt and mud?

I think Cleveland used to spray the dirt green for much of the season.  You'd see players picking themselves up with grass stains that were too big to be from grass.  I'm not sure what they used to "paint" the field, hopefully not a solvent-based product but it was Cleveland!

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
