Adam Schefter: NFLPA is filing a grievance vs Panthers for the hardness of the playing field last Saturday

It’s a league approved playing surface so not sure what we did wrong. I agree we should go back to turf no question, but what was wrong with the field vs every other game we have played at home. We can’t control the cold and if the league approved that mess, owners will go with whatever is more profitable vs player safety which is the messed up part

I mean, it was cold as hell. Of course the field was rock hard. Our field is trash. That's well established. Way too many players - our own and others - have complained about it for it not to be true. But a field being hard on sustained subfreezing temps isn't a legit complaint. That's just the nature of reality.

Actually it's a dumb grievance. It just speaks to the pussification of some of these modern NFL players.

Shaq Thompson has publicly voiced his issue with grass vs turf at BOA. Is he one of those pussies?

    • At least he's learning.
    • CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.   Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.''   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach
    • You call the Cowboys purely for information, but we don't have the assets to pull off any realistic trade. Also, even if they would consider any trade, it's more likely they want to do it with an AFC team.
