If NFL and NFLPA cared about player safety

never even played college but I did play texas state so I traveled and we did use some college stadiums. our own was grass. and in the summer heat it was patchy, dead, and sometimes prickly.

but we always preferred grass 100%. any fool who has played on either knows grass always wins. as someone with flat feet I was always more sore after turf. It’s not nice to ligaments. Literally no player ever prefers turf.

When the NFLPA did nothing about Vontaze Burfict and fat albert stomping on the heads of players, I no longer carried about their opinions/statements.

 

Heres some hard to shallow facts- the NFL is a young mans league. Like 98%(making up but go check yourself) are like 30 and/or younger. Just about all of them have played on fake grass since HS....guess what they prefer?? the fake crap. Im a old fossil compared and still believe a hyrid of super grass ______ and synthetic is the way. But the young ones grew up with fake stuff and are normalized to it. Old NFL boomers are the ones pleading for grass...

The fake stuff has vastly improved over the last ten years, but it was a ACL/achilles hell at the start.....

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
