Thanks for bringing up this topic to benefit lots of teams in Weeks 4-6.

Dealing with bumper covers took a huge chunk of inspector time at Chesapeake.
Sometimes they started out ok, but got droopy once they were on the field.
Sometimes they were dysfunctional from the get-go.
Sometimes they needed just a little shoring up or a little touching up or a little TLC.

I never imagined "baggy bumper covers" would be so much a part of my vocabulary for 3 days.
