Shanedorf Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Do the Packers consider grass vs turf in their draft evaluations ? Does it even matter ? GB typically plays 9-12 grass games / season depending on which divisions they are facing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reference I've ever heard was Wolf talking about building " a team to win on the grass in December/January" But that was in the 1990s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moretti19 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I’m guessing DK Metcalf is going to be a Oakland Raider with their first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, has anyone conducted a study that shows one particular style of football is particularly more effective on grass than turf? I feel like most of what we here are just stereotypes without any research supporting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like watching the Badgers play Ohio State at Camp Randall or The Horseshoe in the cold is night and day vs watching them on the fast track at Lucas Oil. Scoring in elements you probably want more of a Jamaal Williams than an Aaron Jones. Eddie Lacy was always a stud in the cold. There's some merit to it, but if you've got a pass rusher at the top of your board you aren't going to even consider it for a position like that.

The indoor/outdoor thing may have some real validity to it. I'd like to see this kind of thing looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodestar Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Kyler Murray committing to football today initially made me hopeful another top defensive player will slide to #12... On second thought, I wonder if it actually makes our #30 pick more valuable if he's sitting there late and a team wants to jump the Patriots and/or lock in that 5th-year option.

I'd make the argument that Pettine's best pure pass rusher was Jerry Hughes when he was with the Bills. Maybe it's just a coincidence, and I'd hope that he'd be able to adapt his scheme to fit his personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
