2026 NFLPA Report Cards: Seahawks Grades

Poor DK

The same guy who said the grass is definitely greener on the other side.
Might be greener, but there’s no Super Bowl ring attached to that

The surface is going to be replaced with natural grass, (rather than laid on top of the current turf), for the World Cup. 'Soccer' grass isn't suitable for NFL games. Maybe they can use something else after the World Cup.

F for the field?! Woah!

The players don’t like the field turf, or just our kind of field turf??

The field being a major contributor to at least one 'practice' injury that kept a player out several weeks would make me rate the field an F.

Probably the new owner got to the players and convinced them to vote this way so he has extra ammo to push for a new stadium.

Didn't the NFL Sue the NFLPA for these report cards and they were told it can't be public anymore?

I'm old enough to remember when natural grass was public enemy #1 and field turf was the way of the future.

When was that? I’m old enough to remember playing on both, and liking grass far more. In Seattle, we should be able to have grass no problem.

Easy fix. Play soccer at TMobile.

Mid to late 90's. It really came to a head on the east coast when the Jaguars' Tony Boselli blew his knee out and essentially ended his career when he stepped into a divot in the field in January 2000. The Gator Bowl was played the day prior and a "repaired" divot from that game caused the injury. That, coupled with Washington's terrible grass field and the disaster that astro turf was, Field Turf was hailed as the 8th wonder and for good reason. Consistent and smooth surface with the long blades of artificial grass and the ground up rubber and sand worked into it gave FT a softer cushion like grass does. I still think Field Turf, or an improved version, is the answer. But what do I know.

Same thing happened to Chris Clemons in DC '12-13 season. Cost us a good shot at the championship.
