The incompetence continues / practice fields

[TheEye]

So the 49ers threatened to move. Where were they going? I assume the Chiefs already had Nova Southeastern locked down considering that's the Dolphins practice facility?

FIU.

Do you support the troops, friend?

I do.

So

Go Canes!!!!!!!

You’re so ******* knowledgeable. It must be the reason you post so much.

So insightful, you had to say it twice. Way to jack up your double-digit post count.

Maybe someday you'll actually say something worthwhile.

they looked around. saw those facilities and said **** it, well pay for the fields lol

The field at HRS is also usually in poor shape. We would maximize our speed advantage with an artificial surface. Everyone's doin' it.

This “speed advantage” of which you speak...is that a real thing?

So none of the coaches or players mentioned one time all season something is wrong with the fields but they're not up to 49ers standards..... Keep in mind NFL players are frequent at U and zero mentions of field issues

NFL players are rarely utilizing the field to work out on. Be smarter.

You’re a numbers guy. I’m pretty sure, statistically speaking, UM suffers no more injuries than any other football programs averaged out over the last few years. But if someone is willing to show me some data that says otherwise, I would look at it with an open mind.

Not liking the field is one thing. A field causing disproportionate injuries, people better have data on that, before they go making those types of claims. It seems that there are some cognitive biases at play.

It would probably be specific injuries to an area, not number of injuries.

Just a reminder to everyone, it wasn't just the 49ers who had a problem with the field. The Packers did as well. Bad look for the program, again.

If you come to my house and you dont like what I cooked you got two options. Leave or order something else.

FIU.

There are conflicting stories that no college maintains a “Super Bowl Ready” practice field. I am not sure what to believe, but it does seem like an NFL team would know that a college does not maintain that quality before deciding to practice there.

Yeah, its amazing how the national media has run with this ground-breaking story about the grass at the University of Miami. Post less.

Sure. Because "coming to your house" and "paying to use practice facilities for a week" are identical situations that call for identical reactions.

Also, I'm not sure that you really thought about that second option carefully. The NFL actually DID order something else.

Congrats to the NFL if you want something extra order it.

FIU.

If FIU was a viable option, don't you think they would have made the move without having to put in a new practice field? Go to the NFL site. The league has very stringent standards for synthetic and natural grass fields.

They did. And then Blake pitched a fit because he liked his grass better.

 

[We'retheBoss]

so our culture was bad and our horticulture is even worse?

 

[AHURT12]

He should. Zero complaints all year about the field from players, ex players, team media etc. NFL doesn't like the fields buy new ones. You had weeks if not months to have the field you wanted and you wait a week before the SB

The NFL field standards are insane for games. I am sure they apply the same standards for practice fields.

Oh please, you know that is bull****. This is about meeting an NFL standard and money. In the end it worked out for both parties. There is a lot to rip James about but this one is ridiculous.
