My 85 year old grandma had a meniscus tear. Maybe I should find a seem in the floor at HEB and blame them and sue Scott from HEB and JJ Watt.
Just so we're clear, to all of the people who work at NRG who are worried about losing their job if the Texans move away from the ridiculous grass pallet system, I'm not the person that will be putting you out of a job.....it's not me you have to convince that your floor is safe.
I'm guessing it would be a lot cheaper to move to fake grass. Seems like the reason they went with real grass was to make a safer field. I understand why a punter who got hurt would find a lawyer and make a claim it was the field's fault because he would have a million reasons to tell that story even if it weren't true. He may even believe it was true. He would also probably believe it was the fault of a fake grass field if they had that instead. Any time a person can make millions of dollars by blaming someone else for an injury they generally do so. Ray Rice should probably sue the elevator company, the camera company, and the beverage he was drinking that night, along with maybe a twinkee defense that a candy bar, or sweet cake made him do it.
Clowney is a clown and a PED user. Dude gtfoh. Nobody gives a ish about who your employer is. Texans fans want a nice field.. Not the bull**** we play on now.
Right. It will have to be the current players and coaches that force the change. Let's see if that ever happens. Chances are, they are all choosing "this" over field turf.

LOL... no. Go back and look at my posts at the beginning of this 3 year old thread. At the time, I was pissed about them using the grass field for HS and college games... and a torn up grass field, regardless of trays or no trays, is dangerous (hence why they bought field turf). I do believe that if the players wanted it, and the coaches wanted it, it would have been done by now. They all get plenty of exposure to field turf in other stadiums and the bubble... and they probably know a little better than you as far as whether or not this grass field is truly a "problem".
I still remember Bud Adams b****in about the turf at the Astrodome... what is it about being able to put down a good field in Houston? lol
They went with grass (and the retractable roof too for that matter) because they wanted to be the anti-oilers, better thans, we play on real grass, and our dome isn't a dome at all it's retractable. This Franchise has always distanced itself from and tried to be better than their predecessor. Safety had nothing to do with it.
Smaller trays would be better, your proposal only decreases the amount of seams, they would still exist. If they went to trays of 1" x 1", it would be like chain mail for a knight, the trays are so small that your foot would always be across hundreds of little seams, millions and millions of 1 inch square trays impenetrable to the human foot. Any potential soft spot would be surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of surround spots of varying consistency thereby giving the feeling of a solid surface. It's like kevlar for the feet, tighten those seams Mcnair.
It's not just andre. It's almost all of the 40 or so guys that play on that field every week. That amounts to 4,000 occurrences of players on that field since it opened. So your "evidence" is based on a punter that is suing because that is the only way he can make any money since his career is over and a guy who has had 3 significant injuries in the 4 months since we've drafted him. The turf is the first thing a guy can blame instead of saying, "Yea my body sucks." I'm not sure which part of your "evidence" is weaker. This or that Bill Belichick said it.
Does this further your argument? Yes or no? He isn't a player who will toe the company line even if it costs him a million dollars, right? But for some reason, he is afraid to say anything bad about the grass? LOL You people are so thick. Must be smoking too much grass like Swearinger. How many personal foul calls will Swearinger get this year?
Even women soccer players know that grass is better than turf. How dumb are people who think NRG should install turf? Pretty dumb.
