Is the new field turf injuring players?

You're the one who reminds us constantly how the Jets are the most injured team in the NFL. You use it as an excuse. I provide a reason.

The thought crossed my mind as well, but then I saw what was going on around the rest of the league and it seems that soft tissue and joint issues are rampant today.  No preseason plus a week of hitting is taking its toll.

Jets had this problem last year, also. Miami players are on record hating his guts. If Gase isn't fired, a full-scale locker room revolt is coming. And soon.

IDK, I get that injuries are up this year, which is something that I also predicted on this board. But it's hard to ignore that players and coaches were outwardly complaining about the condition of the field.

“That’s as many knee injuries and ankle stuff, and people getting caught on the turf as I’ve ever been a part of,” Shanahan said after the game. “From what I saw, the other team did, too. I know our players talked about it the entire game, just how sticky the turf was. … It was something our guys were concerned about right away, and the results definitely made that a lot stronger.

"I think the turf was pretty thick," Armstead said. "Guys seemed to be getting stuck in the ground more regularly. A bunch of guys went down, wasn’t real fun to be a part of."

Hopefully something can be done about it.
