REDFANATIC Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 So Tre had 31 carries (4 shy of a record) on Saturday. Was held out of practices this fall due to wear on his knee issues. Missed today's practice due to swelling on his knee. What were the coaches thinking giving him that many carries? He totted the rock exceptionally! I'm worried about his durability on a questionable knee. I'm no Dr. But if that knee keeps him from practices something has to be up. 2 Quote Link to comment

That is why I pushed natural grass instead of crappy artificial turf. Quote Link to comment

Crusader Husker Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Field turf is pretty soft. It isn't the AstroTurf. I am on it daily. Our teams hate playing on grass. 2 Quote Link to comment

You know Mile High Stadium surface? ........ bluegrass instead of fake turf. Most NFL stadiums changed from artificial turf to natural grass including Arrowhead, Green Bay, Steelers, etc etc etc. Why? Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's a long 12 game season. Tre showed why he was chosen to be the featured back, but I would have liked to see more Wilbon and Ozigbo. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Big difference from Artificial turf and field turf. I am assuming you know that? Quote Link to comment
REDFANATIC Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Not a turf issue... Tre durability issue... I'm sure Christian Bros. In St Louis has field turf. How can he handle 30 plus carries a game on a questionable knee? When we have a depth chart full of "or"s? Quote Link to comment

Denver is a much warmer climate that Lincoln, Nebraska, and the others you mention have high-tech coil heaters underneath the grass to keep it alive during Nov-Jan. The fields in Pittsburgh and Philly look like crap in the 2nd half of the season and they constantly have to replace the grass between the hash marks. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Bryant's injury seems like a chronic knee issue, not an injury caused by a specific plays. Also, NU practices on grass fields quite often in Lincoln, so I don't see how this is a Field Turf issue. Quote Link to comment

Warmer climate than Lincoln ? Quote Link to comment

I think it is a non factor, it isn't the artificial turf. I have played on the artificial turf. It sucked. Field turf can be even softer than grass, depending on the type of grass and soil.

Hooked on Huskers Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Quote A recent survey of 1,511 active NFL players by the NFL players association found that 73% of the players preferred playing on a natural grass system, while only 18% preferred artificial turf. Nine-percent of the players had no preference http://turf.uark.edu/turfhelp/archives/021109.html Quote Link to comment
