NotIThatLives Posted December 14, 2022 Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Has anyone noticed the World cup turf? Google it and read on it. Pretty sciency stuff. Gobs of money. It's a mixture of real and synthetic. The company does turf for NFL, MLB, and PGA(the world cup turf is exclusive for now). But I don't recall seeing any soccer players being carted off for acl, mcl stuff and there is a lot of running, planting, turning going on.

Soccer players are like professional wrestlers, they are trained to take a fall and fake being injured without actually getting injured. It’s a fine art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fine art. Oh no doubt. I'm talking literally injuries. I read through a few sites on injuries during the world cup. Hard to find a list isolated to injuries sustained during world cup play. I did find a few lists of important players injured and there was actually quite a few listed with acl. Obviously me watching less than half the games doesn't count as conclusive by any means but this new and improved turf they are playing on there may be the future of fields? I don't know. I would venture to say, there is a lot of money and research going into this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just now seeing these two posts. IMO the OL could be taking a pretty sizable step this off season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, my biggest concern is defense. I think you're right, o-line will be much improved, as it was by the end of the year. Glad he's coming back. We need some good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he only played in the first half before shutting it down. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-offensive-tackle-matthew-bedford-out-for-the-season-with-torn-acl/ Edited December 16, 2022 by NotIThatLives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to be arrogant, but I didn't forget it. I knew at the time how massive it was. The OL at their absolute best was average BEFORE he got hurt... and he was hands down our best/most experienced player. Camper, Bedford, Jones, and Matthews were all injured for significant time this year and it's probable those were our 4 best overall players. Food for thought.

Here I go, getting my hopes up again for IU football. But clearly our 2 best wrs down made any qb job a hell of a lot harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also might have 2 years of eligibility left. Edited December 16, 2022 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, some players get it, become it and others just don't and never will. Edited December 16, 2022 by Artesian_86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Lowry and Sorsby, let’s see how they develop. In the meantime let’s get a vet who can bridge the gap. It’s pretty obvious we are going for a dual QB and we will run the football next year. If the D sells out on the run, throw it by them.
