Totally disagree. Both kickers had difficulties kicking deep to that end. I usually attend a few games a year (6 hour drive for me) and the windy end zone is definitely a factor. I was in upper deck 2 years ago vs Washington and had perfect view of a solid kick knocked down by the wind that dropped suddenly way short, leading to a huge return. So I'm sure Bass' intent was for a touchback.
Hoping coaching staff went to school on this. Given the new formations, if assignments, tackles are missed and the returner breaks through, he's gone as there is no depth of defense anymore. Given the particular situation with score and time remaining tacking the penalty on a squib that falls short of 20 might be the right call. Starting at 40 vs a big return
