Remember one seconds on the clock before we would snap the ball

Personally It drove me crazy, I couldn’t understand why we would wait until the last second to snap the ball. , I Love that they’re snapping the ball the moment they’re ready. Why all this motion trying to confuse the difference in the past. I think it’s so much more efficient just going to line snapping the ball and get on with the play. You’re less apt to have a penalty. and the defense is less likely to be prepared . I think it’s made a great difference in our execution

I agree 100%. I hated that so much. You were taking an advantage the offense has and turning it over to the defense. Imagine how much fun it would be as a defender knowing exactly when the snap is coming each and every time. We are so much less predictable this year. Heck we even go quick at times like an actual professional football team.

There are a set of rules the NFL has established with the headset communication: Only one player on offense and one player on defense can have a speaker in their helmet. ... The communication shuts off with 15 seconds left on the play clock.

Drove me nuts. Romo was really good at it. It let our O-Line know when to be set but also let the opposing defense know. But when playing with a lead it allowed us to chew up the clock.

I was three years ago. That rule. Maybe further . I remember on the old forum on the official website. We tried for months to figure that out. Lol Yep 15 seconds. That’s why Jared Goff had such a hard time

A lot of that in the Romo era was because it took that long for Romo to create a play from scratch trying to get out of Garretts out dated scheme.

Hasn't that been going on for several years now?

Many teams did this as a way to shorten the game.....either to avoid getting blown out or to milk the clock and let your defense rest or just keep the other offense off the field.

LOL. If it's not one thing that drives Cowboys fans crazy it's another. Now it's clock management. :eek:

LMAO as we just seen this from our opponent a few weeks ago while playing the Giants. Jason Garrett!
It’s funny how Jason Garrett was an offensive “guru” with Tony Romo and then Dak Prescott. Where is that “guru” ability now that he has Daniel Jones instead?

It took Tony Romo a while to un-do JG's crap play designs.

I would be willing to do terrible things to see 2009-14 peak Romo operaring Kellen Moore's offense.
Pass, pass, pass, punt

go up 35-3 and find a way to lose against Aaron Rodgers's backup

ughhhhhhhh

Jason Garrett hasn’t been called or considered an offensive guru in like 10 years, seriously!
