Having TO or any of the Recvrs in motion gives Romo a huge pre-snap read on the D coverage.......

I'm sure it also gives the recvrs a pre-snap read also

Romo's inexpeirence? New to the timeing based offense? Receivers on the same page?

Something to work on.......film room time for more than just Romo.......

I think this will now be the game plan vrs. Romo---attempt to disguise the coverage in any way possible.......

something NE is very good at.....

Still think the Boys' Win in a squeaker........28-24

I have a lot of confidence in Jason Garrett. I think he will work some formations to see if he can get some obvious pre snap reads (mismatches) or at least some reads on an isolated position that are post snap and fairly easy.

I really dont care how good the patriots are at disguising coverages, the fact is that Witten presents mismatches that should dictate defensive coverages / not the other way around.

The Patriots will try to take this away by blitzing and/or showing blitzes for the purpose of dictating the pre-snap read. The Cowboys should try exploit this with roll-outs to get those isolated reads.


In this scenerio, the patriots have the advantage in obvious passing situations. One of the keys for the Cowboys is to not waste downs, balance the offense with the running game, and get into as many short third downs as possible.

I really dont buy into the theory the Patriots will take away Owens and Witten. The Cowboys have an offense that makes anyone a weapon because of the playcall. If you spend personel try to shut down those two guys, then Crayton, Hurd, and Fasano will make the pro bowl with their efforts today.

The Patriots game plan will be to shut down the running game and hope to get the boys in obvious passing situations. The Patriots will be hoping for last weeks Romo, the Cowboys will be hoping for the other Romo.

Again, I have a lot of confidence in Jason Garrett putting Romo in the right situations. In the end, it will be the performance of Romo that wins or loses the game.

Garrett must have thought they could slip by the Rams and bills w/o the motion by a recvr........good learning curve for Romo hopefully

D.Jauron is a def minded coach...........played to the static set at the snap with 11 guys standing, disguising cover 3, cover 2.........

Teams now have "the book" on how to attempt to confuse Romo.......

Up to Garrett to find ways to work Romo thru this learning process....

Teams are going to study and try to slow down the top ranked offense--be it Dallas or Chicago :)p: ).............but they are not just gonna let em' rip up and down the field............or else that coach is not doing his job.....

then its back to the copy cat theory in the nfl.....

Jaroun just did it a week before Cheater Bill was gonna

maybe actually did the Boys' a favour...........expossed a weakness, time to work on it...........

Sometimes it only works once because a good qb learns from it which romo has in the past
