ARLINGTON, Texas -- Patrick Crayton caught Tony Romo's last two improvisational touchdown passes. That isn't a coincidence.
Romo has worked with Crayton more than any other wide receiver, so a trust has formed between the two. But Romo is looking for flashes of the right color, not a certain number, when he's running from pass rushers.
Romo says Crayton simply has knack for getting to the right spot when a play breaks down. It happened on Romo's highlight-reel scramble and throw for a score against the Atlanta Falcons. And it happened again Sunday afternoon, when Romo spun away from a defensive end who had a clean shot at his blind side and hit Crayton across the middle for a 10-yard touchdown to beat the Washington Commanders.
"What ends up happening is you’ve got that feel," Romo said. "Some basketball players may not be the most athletic guy in the world but he somehow just gets his body in position and knows where to be and knows angles and things of that nature.
"Patrick has that sense. He has that innate nature to find the opening, find the hole and put himself in position to be there. That’s a great quality that he has."
Newman won't discuss confrontation

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cornerback Terence Newman had no interest in discussing his sideline confrontation with secondary coach Dave Campo.
"Nothing here, fellas," Newman said as reporters approached his locker.
Campo hollered at Newman after he came off the field for a Washington punt in the first quarter. Heated words were exchanged, and other Cowboys stepped in to separate the two. Newman gave up a 26-yard reception to Devin Thomas on third-and-long earlier in the series, getting caught peeking in the backfield when quarterback Jason Campbell started scrambling.
Campo was not available for comment after the game. He certainly won't be getting reprimanded by his boss for the emotional outburst.
"I loved it," owner/general manager Jerry Jones said. "We were pumping our fists, pounding it. I love Dave. I love the energy and excitement."
Not sure that Newman shares the love.

Exactly...there is no need to overreact to a typical argument between player and coach. It happens every week.
