The information I am finding is the type of surface is the exact same stuff that has been used in the dome since 2019 which is Turf Nation S5 / slit film.

The graph predicts this year to have more injuries on grass than turf.

Also, video replay of PI was the dumbest rule ever implemented and done purely as a mea culpa by the NFL after what was the biggest dicking against a team by refs in the history of football. A completely unsustainable rule, they never intended for it to stick around permanently. But anyways, refs weren’t the highlight of the game, our defense was. Great tackling, great ball hawking, excellent Redzone defense. A real joy to watch a defense like the one we have. The difference this year is we finally have a competent QB to take some of the pressure off our defense. We clearly miss Kamara’s explosiveness out of the backfield, but I am impressed with our skill players. OL needs to improve, but I also think it’s important to remember that Tennessee is one of the best defenses in the NFL year in and year out under Vrabel. Finally, great game by Grupe, hope he can keep it up. |

As to the turf, take a joke man. As another poster said there is conflicting info that the turf is 'new' but 'the same' so its pretty logical to figure that it might be some kind of 'new and improved' bs now with Omega 3's, antioxidants, and techron. Its kind of the classic thing. Turf is like cigarettes. So if the turf salesmen want to keep pushing it they have to add filters and menthol and buy a doctor to say its healthy now. So of course every years model is going to be new and improved so the teams that don't do something about turf can keep claiming they are doing something about turf. |
