This week, several players spoke out about the turf at Bank of America Stadium. However, according to the NFLPA, the Panthers’ home base isn’t one of the stadiums that uses a pure slit film surface, which the union is taking a stand against. The New York Jets and New York Giants (MetLife Stadium), Detroit Lions (Ford Field), Minnesota Vikings (U.S. Bank Stadium), New Orleans Saints (Caesars Superdome), Indianapolis Colts (Lucas Oil Stadium) and Cincinnati Bengals (Paycor Stadium) are the teams coming under fire for the slit-film surfaces.

The Panthers have played on the road against the Giants and Bengals this season. Cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver sustained an Achilles injury at MetLife Stadium, which eventually landed him on injured reserve. Against the Bengals, the Panthers avoided major injuries. Still, the Panthers will face the Saints on the road in Week 18, so the Superdome is a concern heading into the finale. As far as the home field is concerned, the Panthers’ management doesn’t seem too concerned. According to a Carolina spokesperson, the team performs an internal study — which is updated weekly — that monitors missed games due to injuries around the league, and the Panthers are in the top quartile of fewest games missed due to injuries.

Article also says that the turf was not responsible for the high ankle sprains of Darnold, Mayfield, and Walker.

Yeah I don't really trust Tepper's internal findings

Yeah I don't trust Tepper's internal study on the money grass. This stats misleading because teams play on different surfaces.  Show me the number of leg and foot injuries on turf vs grass.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
