The players will win this debate. the question is how soon will they change the fields?

Not all stadiums and situations are the same.  I think any open stadium could change out to natural grass whenever they are told they need to.  However, things are a bit different for existing domed stadiums.  What the Cardinals and Raiders have is neat...but those elements were built into the design.  Going back to retrofit a domed stadium without a retractable roof would be a different ballgame than the other stadiums simply swapping out the turf to grass.

That puts a handful of teams in an interesting position, with the rest of the league able to quickly adapt.  The Lions don't even have room for the cute little grass outside and move it inside trick the Cardinals and Raiders designed their stadiums around.  Ford Field is shoe horned into Detroit right across from the Tigers stadium (literally walk across the street) and they are locked in from all sides with highways and buildings.  Its part of the "charm" they were going after.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
