OK, I’ll start with the injuries from the game. Brady Poppinga will have arthroscopic surgery in the morning, and we’ll have the details from that once Dr. Pat McKenzie completes the surgery. Donald Driver had a quad strain. He will probably miss some practice time this week. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] had a groin strain, and he should also probably miss some practice time. With that I’ll take your questions.

(You have used that formation a few times [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Did anyone warn you in the past about it?)
It’s a new rule this year. It’s something that a lot of conversation during the preseason about the formation. It’s a formation that’s been used against us probably on a weekly basis. We used it throughout the game. The rule states that the player cannot be within a yard of the center. The intent of the rule is for the safety of the snapper. The origin of it really started on field goals, and it was carried over to punt. We had used that formation earlier in the game. It’s a legal formation. Why it took so long for the flag and so forth, I do not understand that part. It’s illegal formation, offsides,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], things like that. Just the process of it is what’s disturbing. But Robert Francois was lined [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] up a yard from the center. That’s what the film shows.
(Did you get a chance to watch the penalty on Francois again on the punt?) [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Sure did. I had an opportunity to watch all the tape. Had an opportunity to watch the punt after the game.
