Sherman on Washington’s field: That’s as bad as I’ve seen

I don’t think the broadcast did justice for how poor the field conditions were in Washington on Sunday. Whenever a player went to make a tackle along the sideline and hit the ball carrier, said ball carrier slide nearly ten yards. It’s funny for us to watch, but it has to be terrifying for the players. I’m not making excuses for either the San Francisco 49ers or Washington. That’s just how it is. You are going to be significantly slower, agile, and athletic. You can’t put your foot on the ground and effortlessly go in one direction like you could on a field that wouldn’t be confused with a Slip ‘N Slide.
