It's not a fail on Jones' part. He had the screens installed at more than the league minimum and do so knowing the conditions of his own punter.

I also think Trapasso and Hentrich were trying to hit it, and being a preseason game, who cares if they did...

We'll see how it unfolds, but I honestly don't see this being a major issue. A minor one, maybe, but I don't think we'll see more than a few do-overs over the course of the season.

Where did you ever read/hear that McBriar did testing? McBriar admitted publicly just this week that he was never asked, nor did he, kick to test in the new stadium for height issues.
