You want cleats just long enough to grab the turf w/o hindering your mobility. Looks like they are too short to to effectively hold when they pivot.

was bad in week one in Arizona. Chiefs kicker was injured in the first game of this season on that field and was out about six weeks. Everyone was slipping and sliding on that field tonight. No more SB there until they FIX that field. Thought I heard some commentators say the field has been a problem all season.

it’s determined a year or two in advance, so you would think it would be plenty of time to get the field right.
