Jerry-tron is Mat McBriar proof - maybe
A couple of years ago at training camp in San Antonio, Pro Bowler Mat McBriar spent one early part of practice hammering punt after punt toward the Alamodome roof and the scoreboard.
They varied the height as McBriar blasted away. A few times he hit the scoreboard. Most times he didn't.
But with Jerry-tron being some 90 feet off the ground at Cowboys Stadium, there's a thought that it's too low. Jerry Jones said otherwise Thursday.
"This is higher than [San Antonio], so we're in good shape there," Jones said. "We've got all that real comfortably done."
In March at the Owners' Meetings in Dana Point, Calif., I asked the NFL's Vice President of officiaiting Mike Pereira what would happen if a ball hit the scoreboard during a game. He said they would just replay the down as if it never happened.
