Let's review. Last chance to solve the riddle.

-The way we count "linemen" maybe wrong.
-We are missing something big.
-Our brain is stuck on five. Fixated on five.
-How about nine?

Here are two more hints:
-49ers get it. Shanahan knows nine.
-Its something Dallas does better than Philly--something that people don't catch, and could make all the difference when facing them.

Hoping someone here can hit with me a quick reply.

It's ok to post screen grabs from games here, right?

Well it nice to know it's a riddle and not a cognitive issue!

Actually you are a pretty good, straightforward poster.
That threw the board off , we are not used to you doing riddles.

I've done some whacky things over the years. Started a thread 10-15 years ago using a dozen Stephen King book/movie titles as metaphors/themes for all-things-Cowboys. Went on for 15 pages of posts. One guy literally begged me, "Seriously stop. This is freaking me out." LOL. I'm certified nuts.

As soon as someone can verify I'm ok to post visuals from Sunday's game, I'll start doing so.

OK. We all know the play from Sunday's game. 30 yard TD run by Pollard.

I'm going to post a bunch of images from that one play (different angles). This may take couple of posts. Please don't comment until all is posted.

I will defer any comments, questions and notations until after everyone gets to again review raw images from the play.

OK...while grabbing a bite...how about a simple question:

On offense, what is the quickest definition of a "lineman?"

If something walks like a duck, talks like a duck...is it a duck?
