Aaron Rodgers injury update: MRI reveals Jets QB suffered a complete tear of Achilles tendon, per report
  • Yeah I have never liked it. When I've played on football field turf, it almost feels like a basketball court. It's very hard, and the traction is so much higher.

    I was a HS lineman, and I didn't even use cleats on turf. I couldn't afford the additional cleats that work on turf, so when we played on turf I just used sneakers and never had traction issues even in the rain!

  • Yeah basically. Watch the video of Rodgers Achilles snapping, if you can stomach it. Now imagine that same play on a natural field.

    There would be A LOT more give into the ground, and more often the grass sliding and giving way, which could take a lot of force away from that tendon.

    Instead, his foot could not move or find a better position so that his own body could distribute the force, and the ground never gave any leeway, so all the force of him running, trying to break a tackle and a 300+lb elite athlete tackling him was transferred into his static Achilles tendon.

    This could have been a sprained ankle, or maybe nothing on a grass field.

  • Can we just stop with the turf? I know that this was newer turf, but you can't help attribute part of this injury to it. Higher injury rates on turf, any one that has played on it can tell you the traction is dramatically different and our bodies can't handle it

    How does everyone feel about Google Pixel phones?
  • My pixel 6a seems to be struggling with that, mostly due to that new style of messengering. I can't remember now what it's called. But disabling it and switching back to just SMS remedies it.
