| 22nd August, 2009 - 10:11 am |  ESPN - The Titans may have uncovered a huge flaw in the construction of the Cowboys' new stadium on Friday night.
Tennessee reserve punter A.J. Trapasso hit the gigantic HD screen that hangs over the field with a punt in the second half.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones said after the game that the NFL approved the screen and that he has no plans to alter it.
"It's an issue, yeah," said Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who serves as co-chairmen of the league's competition committee.
"I'm sure the Cowboys or the league will tell you, I shouldn't have to throw a flag out there because [the officiating crew] didn't see the ball hit the scoreboard. Now, it's not necessarily their responsibility. Once a fair catch signal is given, then there are no eyes on the ball anymore. So they don't see it. So something has to get worked out. It can become a problem."
The stadium cost $1.2 billion and Jones continued to defend it.
"You don't need to move it. You gotta be trying to do it. The rule is very clear. You just kick it over," he said.
Tennessee's kickers said they hit the screen multiple times during warmups. [READ] |
