I'm pretty sure both CMC and Horns injuries are due to new field

I know we all have been digesting losing two key players today but no one has really talked about this. Studies have shown both hamstring and foot injuries happen more on artificial turf than natural. I understand Teppers want to change because of many factors but he might have just caused us to see increased injuries as well as being really poor for the environment as well. Either way I just wanted to open a discussion about this. 

Yes, a certain detail slipped your mind but you and everyone else seems to be ignoring the short 'week' for influencing at least CMC's injury. Maybe Burris too.

I too would prefer natural grass but "turf" has come a long, long way and the best surfaces offer excellent and safe playing conditions day-in, day-out.

Here's a great video about the surface put in by the Texas Rangers...

...I'd have to believe the football people Tepper put in control of this decision selected a system equal to or better than what the Rangers installed.  

Maybe @Carolina Panthers can confirm what was chosen?

Or Google can tell you. 

It's field turf. Houston used Hellas matrix turf

Good catch.

Last time I looked the info on what brand of turf the Panthers used had not been released...

...pretty interesting reading on their website -- lots of studies and all seem to show FieldTurf provides reduced levels of injury vs. natural grass -- the Appaloosa Model at work:

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
