While being careful not to add anything that opponents cannot learn from studying tape of Scott Linehan's former team, the Dallas gunslinger offered up his impressions of what the 2014 offense will be like.
Recently Tony Romo sat down with members of the Dallas media and shared his thoughts about what the addition of former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan will mean for the Dallas Cowboys. As a part of the conversation the Dallas quarterback admitted that he is eager to get back on the field and start working with his new play-caller. He was also forthcoming that the new philosophy will incorporate elements of both the familiar "Air Garrett" offense and the similar but different concepts that were used last season in the Motor City.
"I think it can be beneficial to us not giving away too much stuff. But I think there’re some new things. There’re some things that will carry over. You’ll see some things that look similar. They’ll be subtly different things that I think will give us a little bit of an advantage. I don’t want to go into detail on that too much." - Tony Romo
While Romo did not directly answer the question when he was asked if the Cowboys would be looking for the vertical passing game to play a bigger role in the Dallas offense this season, he did allude to the fact that this was one of the "exciting" things that he sees in the way that Linehan runs an offense.
"I think that when you watch the tape of what the Lions have done, it's exciting to see some of the ways they attack teams," Romo said. "I think we're going to do some of that, and we're going to have some of our stuff. You always try new things that you're putting in each year, so I just think it's going to allow us to be an aggressive offense, and that's what you're going to be.
I still feel very comfortable proclaiming that Linehan likes to run the rock a bit of an urban legend. - KD Drummond
