Watching the 1999 Commanders Cowboys game, the Cowboys used two direct snaps to Chris Warren and Emmitt Smith, both for solid gains. I think the Cowboys should bring that play back, use it for those Stinking Patriots in the Super Bowl, Julius could really break it into a LONG gain!

I saw that and was thinking the same thing. It was also funny seeing Flo getting a false start penalty. He hasn't changed a bit.

It's funny, I posted the same thing a week ago. I thought we might use it against the Giants. Do it right out of that same formation we keep running those draws from.

And even on a normal handoff, it seems like we could get big yards just telling JJ to run straight off the DE's outside shoulder, because he almost never does that.

The Boys really ran the ball down Washington's throats in that game. It was funny to watch little Hitler as their lead melted away.

Wow! How prophetic! Actually, we kind of did direct snap it to JJ, althougth not on purpose and not with the desired result!:lmao2:

Same here. Jeez. What a bounce. That could have turned out so much worse than it did.
