They ran the same stuff in the 2nd half as the 1st.
The difference? The OL blocked alot better and gave Romo time.

Jason Garrett or whoever actually ran play-action multiple times this game.

You mean like the way we ran 6 PA passes in the NYG game at home?
It helps when you establish a running game to compliment the passing game.

And the TD by Dez, where Romo rolled right and tossed it back, was shocking simply based on the fact that the play design called for a roll out.
|
So you think this was a designed roll out and not Tony extending the play because he felt pressure in his face because Doug Free couldn't block his man?

I'd also like to add that the almost TD by Jason Witten was another example of what happens when the play-calling actually takes advantage of a situation when Muraay is running well... When was the last time you saw this offense actually attempt to attack the seams. And that TD by Miles, was another example of play-action and using Miles according to his talents, i.e. a crossing route.

The SEA and TB come to mind right away but in those game Witten struggled and/or Romo overthrew the ball to him. WAS was another game where Witten was open down the seam but Romo overthrew the ball just a tad.

If anybody thinks the problems on this offense are primarily because of talent, they are, IMO, dead wrong. If we don't use play-action, expect a lot of the same old, what's wrong with the offense parade...

I'd beg to differ that the talent on the OL needs to be upgraded, and another legit WR added to the mix. You saw what Romo can do when he's given time but that is the problem and has been this season, hasn't it?
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett
