Did Aikman Ever Use The Shotgun?

I wish they would do a lot more of it, as to not make it too obvious what we're doing. That Cowboys team from '92 through '95 was all under center. All the defense had to go by as to whether it was a pass or run was down and distance.

Its interesting when teams stop doing things that work, that no one figured out yet. I recall that enlongated draw Romo used to do with Murray that would confuse ppl and then Garrett like abandoned it one year (if memory serves correct)....I think that year before Zeke was here.

Great find, I remember that from when I was like 13 years old or something...James Dixon went nuts that game - he was such a fun kick returner.

I was only 11 or 12. If I recall correctly the Cowboys tried moving Dixon to running back the year after. Of course Emmitt was drafted in 1990 along with Alexander Wright to return kicks and that was it for Dixon.

The delayed draw!!! I loved that play. I don't know why they eliminated it. We had better run plays years ago.
