Popular Post HawkeyeJet Posted December 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2023 Damn near claimed another one today on a Wilson scramble. I just watched the replay of his throws and it’s a miracle he didn’t blow his knee out. Plants to cut, cleats get caught, knee buckles. How can two franchises invest so much money on players and blatantly pretend this isn’t an issue? Cut costs somewhere else. They better look long and hard at it this offseason. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s these cold, rainy games. Jets and Giants each play at least 2 of them every season. Sometimes, as many as 4. Terrible for the players and fans. Half the home games in a 40-60 degree downpour? Disgusting… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 AT&T stadium opened in 2009 and has Hellas Matrix Turf. The turf used at the AT&T stadium is made by the same manufacturer as that used at the Houston Texans' NRG Stadium. MetLife Stadium uses a new form of FieldTurf called FieldTurf Core system, which is made with dual-polymer monofilament fiber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Zach hasn’t earned any benefit of the doubt, but I did wonder - after that first scramble and his foot seemed to get caught - if he would’ve slid on the second scramble (when he fumbled) had that not just happened on his prior one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 3 hours ago, shawn306 said: Why is it only a MetLife issue ? What are they doing different than say Cincy or Dallas ? They’re not. After switching to brand new turf there were claims that it wasn’t the newly christened top rated and approved NFL turf. Jets and Giants decided to rip up that turf and put down that top rated turf even after the NFL checked the field and found nothing wrong with the turf.

Woody is an idiot, and the Giants are intelligent. There’s no way a grass field lasts for almost 20 football games from August to January. Most teams that have grass only play 8 or 9 games on it, and even those have to constantly be repaired and facelifted or spray paint the mud. A grass field will never work at MetLife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass is grown underneath the field with special lights or something and rotated into service.

Correct, Bosa and Thomas were hurt two plays apart, neither returned. Jimmy G went out at the half and Mullens played the second half.

Dcat Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Cashman, Will Anderson, Stroud.... all to be added to the list of players that the "improved" new MuttLife turf has swallowed alive. MuttLife turf is toxic to one's NFL career. I wouldn't want to play for either the Giants or the Jets. It's pretty obvious this turf is demonic.
