The turf debate

Turf’s been literally proven to cause more no-contact injuries, yet we still use it here and elsewhere to save some cash.  God forbid we make the players’ safety first priority over money; but living in this world we know where the priorities are.  Agree with Pete 100%.  
 

BRING BACK THE GRASS!!

I worked for Toro for almost ten years and was the guy responsible for coordinating the set up and delivery of all the big turf mowers and maintenance vehicles each year... The company STI was the official supplier...  Anyway....  I always took great pride in knowing those mowers were taking care of that field...  Now all they need is a vacuum I guess....

And when you find a guy that takes extreme pride in turf management, it shows. I do turf maintenance and lawns are cut with a 45 degree directional change weekly and I'm fanatical about the stripes, watering, fertilization, etc. If you set it up right and train the lawn correctly, maintenance is pretty damn straight forward and even high traffic turf can take one hell of a beating and bounce right back.

Dont get me started.... I love it !!!  Striping Rye grass was my favorite when I was more in the golf maintenance before working with Toro...

One of the coolest I ever did before drones was a large scale waving flag on a 1 acre flat lot for 4th of July. I couldn't get a pic of it from the air but it was pretty bad ass.

To try and get it changed...

Bad wording but my point was if it was all grass they could stop revisiting the issue and spend time on other things.  

There is no need to keep revisiting the subject, change it all to grass. Turf is made to resemble grass and the natural feeling of ground below it as closely as possible…which clearly means grass is better.

    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
    • I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
