Artificial turf should be banned in the NFL.

The CMC injury may just be overuse the length of his career. TBH, he is leaning towards being one of those NFL RB's just just catches the injury bug and start to break down. So, due to that, not 100% ready to say the turf was the main cause of his injury.

However, Horn's injury did smack of turf related. If so....get rid of that poo ASAP.

Cmac had over 700 touches in the last two seasons of Riverboat.  I said at the time that is way too much for anyone and I hope there isnt long term damage.  Welp.......

The American Journal of sports medicine did a 4 year study in this.

Conclusion:

The overall rate of injury on artificial turf was noninferior to that on natural grass. Within individual injury categories, a higher rate of ankle injury was found on artificial turf. No other injury subgroup demonstrated statistically significant differences between surfaces.

NFL won't do anything until the public complains about it more.

For a League that preaches about player safety it would be one of the easiest things they could do to protect players. The numbers are pretty staggering. A player is basically 33% more likely to get injured on turf compared to grass. That fuging insane.

And yet our owner who is all about modern analytics and sports science just ripped up our beautiful grass field for that poo. Shows where his interests really are… $$$$$.

That articles data was from soccer. The one I pulled my numbers from was football. I don’t think the NFLPA would try to get turf banned if it was a real issue.

Houston's field is unique. Because it has to host some big stupid texas cattle show, the entire field has to be able to be removed.

it's basically a poo ton of like 15 x 15 squares with turf on them that lock together. it's why that field has been a death trap for so long; players are literally catching their cleats where the squares meet. 

this has been a problem forever but the nfl won't force the mcnairs to do anything about it

No ACL difference? That is surprising…

I absolutely hated the fact that Tepper decided to ditch the grass for turf in the offseason. I get it is a penny pinching move and even with all the money he is saving he still isn't having the end zones painted black. 

The NFLPA was pushing to have turf banned last year although I don't know what ever came of it. Clearly the NFL doesn't care nor does our owner as we just switched our field. I'm wondering how Tepper is feeling after seeing our first round pick and our best player go down on non contact injuries due to turf.

I did some research on turf and some of the number are pretty staggering.

For a league that preaches player safety this is just insane. Thursday Night Football is another safety issue all on it own.

Take FIFA for example. For as terrible and corrupt an organization as FIFA, they are at least smart enough to not allow turf to ever be used in the World Cup. Oh and Tepper using the excuse to move to turf for our incoming MLS team, the majority of Pro European Football clubs play on grass and if a club wants to use turf it has to be approved by FIFA.

Look at it this way, Horn and McCaffrey would still be healthy right now if they would have been playing on grass.

Ban turf and do away with Thursday Night Football please and thank you.

Don't like or hate the turf. But it might be the cause of horn's injury. Not a doctor but the hamstring injury is a explosive movement injury don't think the turf does anything in this regards. Might even be because he did come off the field? When the mussle goes cold and you stress is explosively you have more risk of a tear.

    • You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
    • I loved jStew but let’s not forget he was almost always held out from practice  due to some nagging injuries
