Could cleats be the problem with so many injuries?

[Arik2]

I never like the cleats that they wear... I've never seen a team with so many issues with traction - Either they're slipping or getting caught up in the turf... Has anyone addressed this as a possible reason for all of the injuries???

Good question. There have been home games where the Cowboys seemed to slip around much more than the other team.

The conversation was just opened up on this thread:

You have a good OP to start up what could be a very revealing thread.

“My feet just got stuck in the ground, cleats got stuck in the ground … twisted,” Claiborne said.

Artificial Turf may be the problem...

It's not the cleats, it's the field in most cases, especially turf or longer grass.

They just put in new turf in Dallas to address this issue the season before last IIRC.

I recall the installation. The problem could be what is there in Oxnard.

I really hope that the city doesn't do a San Antonio on the Cowboys. But if they do, their new facilities should be ready by the following season.
