What a total disgrace. A guy shouldn’t tear his knee pulling up to stop running.
What’s the non contact injury count  
ajr2456 : 9/26/2022 11:27 pm : link
On the MetLife turf up to now?
you guys are morons...  
outeiroj : 9/26/2022 11:30 pm : link
...its already been proven that the Jets who play on the same field are towards the bottom in injuries. Stop with the field bullshit, a guy who was injury prone got injured, its a sport where bodies are pushed to the limit on a daily basis
You might be right, but we’re talking about Sterling Shepard

Who goes down with a non contact season ending injury every year

He was pulling up from a fucking jog with not a soul near him.

yea, I know, I saw the replay, his cleat didn't get stuck, he literally just hurt himself... You act like his foot got stuck in the turf and he hurt himself.
Didn't

look like a turf injury to me.

It looked like a guy running the ball and something just popped.

Again, I think these guys are too ripped and their frames can't handle it.

I don’t disagree. But It’s just too much of a coincidence to me.
Morons.

Al the “turf” guys are morons. One. The turf is new this year. Two. That’s injury had nothing to do with the turf. Morons.

The turf can be new and still be shitty. Field turf is naturally sticky.

As someone who played an entire high school and college football career on turf, plus 11 years of indoor soccer, It's not sticky, it merely does a better job of allowing traction, so you wear different shoes. If anything i would characterize natural grass as naturally slippery.

Regardless, that doesn't change the fact it wasn't even close to a turf related injury
One of the stranger injuries I've seen.  
Andy in Halifax : 9/26/2022 11:58 pm : link
He wasn't even running fast, didn't jump, not even a hard plant or anything. Strange one.
Why not just use natural grass

Even if you don’t know if the relationship is causal, still what’s the downside
Shepard is a MASH unit.

Hell, watching him play is watching him play is like monitoring the 38th parallel.

+1 I definitely think there is something to that E.
Check out the Shep thread fellas.  
Optimus-NY : 9/27/2022 12:17 am : link
Shep's always been injury prone. This is par for the course for him. It's probably the end of his career and we all wish him well. but some folks are making him out to be some all-tome Giants receiver.

Natural grass can't handle an NFL game every week (and two some weeks), and all the other things MetLife is used for.

Because they tried it already. And it didn’t work.
Can't blame the field on that one.  
Kanavis : 9/27/2022 7:10 am : link
Wishing Shepard the best. But when they resigned him or redid his contract, wmtry to remember what you were thinking. I know I was not thinking he would play many games. He was always a fake away for a life altering concussion and has had a bunch of other injuries.
Sorry.... Game away
