    Just announced that Nissan Stadium is switching from grass to Matrix Turf.



    According to this article, Matrix Turf is actually the best at preventing injuries.

    That’s great if it’s good at preventing injuries, but we didn’t seem to have a problem with it before 2021.

    I think we need any injury advantage we can get right now.

    I think a big reason for the injury problem has been that we have been drafting and recruiting players that already have an injury history.

    Then add in players are softer these days and icing on the cake has to be a crappy strength and conditioning crew. Put it all together and you have back to back historic level of injuries.

    Well at least it will look better and players might stop slipping every 5 secs

    So what is the breakdown of Titans players injured at home versus on the road the past couple of seasons? Is there a large disparity for at home?
    If so, then ok I guess?

    Personally I think Titansman1 nailed it above.

    Eh, said they had problems with the grass as the season went on and weather changed. They have this stuff if the practice bubble and like it.

    As a fan, I don't really care. They can play in a cow pasture for all I care.

    Same with uniforms. Wear pink tutus...who cares? As long as they play decent football and entertain me, don't care.
