Reggie blames Superdome turf for struggles

Ok, I don't see a link to the direct article, so I don't know what context this interview was in, but if some reporter asked him if running on grass and running on turf was the same and his reply was:

"There's a big difference between playing on turf and playing on grass."

Then what is the big deal? That line is the only thing attributed to him by quotes. Until I know more, I see no reason to slam him for this.

It's a video. He attributes his elevated number of injuries to playing on turf hence, "big difference". No study claims that, the differences are marginal at best. The reality is there is no big difference, he's just making an unsubstantiated claim. How is it a big difference?
