The Inside Football crew breaks down the debate over artificial turf versus grass, including what former NFL players actually felt physically after games, why players generally prefer grass and the practical challenges teams and stadium owners face when trying to maintain natural playing surfaces. The conversation looks at what the World Cup revealed about NFL stadiums that temporarily converted to grass, why those fields aren't necessarily a perfect comparison for an NFL season and how weather, stadium usage, maintenance costs and footing can complicate the issue. The crew also discusses a potential negotiating wrinkle: if the NFL wants to eventually expand to an 18-game regular season, could natural grass become something the players push for in return? Plus, Brian Urlacher offers his own interpretation of what it means for NFL players to “play on grass.” Subscribe to Inside Football for more NFL analysis, stories and conversations.

Then the bigger question: if Dallas really did improve through the Micah Parsons trade, is this finally a Cowboys team capable of making a serious NFC run?
