With the Skins new speed should Dan put in field turf?

[hueman]

if it helps us win, i'd be open to it.

[Fifty Gut]

hell no, you come to FedEx, expect to meet the elements

[barry wilburn]

Randle El and Lloyd are not particularly fast. Trung Canidate and Cliff Russel were fast, these guys are good football players.

[Skinsfan1311]

Artificial turf is a joke.

[Major Harris]

anything other than grass is blasphemy.

[SoCalRedskinFan]

NO TURF! GRASS! :point2sky :point2sky :point2sky

[VAsBeachBoy]

Why would we change a single thing about our home field we have begun the process of turning it into an impossible place to play a huge homefield advantage i say change nothing imo

[HOF44]

Not only no, but HELL NO!!!

Grass all the way.

[Chief skin]

Grass, the game was meant to be played on grass

[DoGood28]

I hate that crap. The Washington Redskins are one of the most traditional teams in the league and we do it old school with natural grass.

[MumboSauce]

Real grass, dirt, earth..mud, that's football man.

[DoGood28]

Real grass, dirt, earth..mud, that's football man.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Grass is REAL.

[AllAboutSkins08]

keep it simple

keep it real

keep it old school

keep it grass

[Mackdaddydean]

The turf they use now is just like grass so there is really no point in doing it.

Yeah except that there's no dirt that can become muddy and it can't shift when pressure is applied to it so theres better traction....so yeah just like grass and dirt. :doh:

Turf = more injuries...even with the new stuff.

[BTBIRD 227]

I always heard, playing on Turf is like playing on cement with a green carpet for a "natural" look. To many injuries to quality players on Turf. At the very least, some serious Turf burns can be acquired playing on Turf. I guess iam old school let them play on grass. Hail

[FS36]

If we switched to turf, the visiting teams get the same advantage. Speed. So it's not a benefit for a home team in any way. It just makes BOTH teams faster, and so the entire game faster. But it does lead to unnecessary injury. So, I'm completely against it.

[aussieskin]

I remember the bears put synthetic grass down at soldier field, then after seeing it freeze solid, they went back to grass because it doesnt freeze, so lets leave the grass alone.

[rlhjr34]

I agree with most Grass only!!! Did grass slow down Moss last year? I rest my case.

[ThomasRoane]

HELL NO!!! Keep the grass!

[ChiefPowhatan17]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, this is football, football is made to play on grass, real grass. Nothing can substitute for the real thing. This should've never been a post. Redskins play ball on grass.

[chronicdesi]

Turf can cause a lot of issues in the long run as far as injury is concerned.... GRASS!!

[Joncevensen]

I thought field turf was still quicker than grass, but I can't back that up

I play on field turf and grass and field turf is a much faster surface. But, the redskins and the entire NFC east is very traditional. Part of Redskins tradition is the grass fields and the muddy uniforms. I think the players at this point dont really care about the difference because its just what shoes they wear.

[trpnbillie11]

I was having this discussion with a high school friend who is the starting fullback for WVU. He was telling me that he prefers to play on the field turf at WVU becuase its easier for him to cut on. He's a faster fullback than most but thats not ridiculously fast but he was telling me he feels a lot better on the turf and that its much better to play on....

Me on the other hand...as a fan...I prefer grass.

[CPstretch]

the field looked like crap by the end of the season. i remember when portis had his TD run vs the giants that he was kicking up dirt behind him when he ran. it looked like ****. i would get field turf

[Mania]

Easy answer..........NO
