Re: N/S but such complete BS that I'm posting about it here
This is simply the media looking to make a story out of anything they can. Hell, they've blown the whole Taylor Swift thing out of proportion. I heard the total time she was on camera in the game she was seen most was something like 24 seconds.
49ers to 'deal with' soft practice field, won't alter schedule
"We're not going to completely change our schedule and do something crazy," Shanahan said. "We'll deal with what we got."
Multiple 49ers players noted Monday night that the playing surface at UNLV felt "a little soft" during the walk-through. Players such as end Nick Bosa and tight end George Kittle have been outspoken proponents of player safety when it comes to the surfaces, but that has generally been aimed at stadiums with artificial turf.
This is the second consecutive year that a Super Bowl or Super Bowl-related playing surface has come under the microscope. It was a storyline after last year's Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, when a slick field caused footing problems for the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles . The field at Allegiant Stadium for Sunday's matchup is a sod surface that will be rolled in from outside before the game.
Despite their displeasure with the UNLV fields, the 49ers didn't want to make it more of an issue on Monday night, noting that practice and the game are two different things.
"We're not playing on it, so we're not tripping," cornerback Charvarius Ward said. "I'm not concerned at all. I can run full speed at any surface. I played football on the street as a kid." |
