Isn't it nice to see a screen pass once and a while?

I really missed a good old fashion screen pass. Maybe if we did this against the Skins a little our QB wouldn't have a broken back.

Technically correct, but in reality not so. This team sux at running the screen for some reason I can't recall a team from Dallas in the last 20+ years that could execute screen consistently. Actually if Romo would have take the hit instead of give up and fall to the ground I doubt he hurts those two little bones.

You'd probably have to go back to Danny White and Tony D to find a squad that really ran it well.

I think we would all love to see this be a point of emphasis during the offseason. There is no reason we can't become a good screen team. It seems like the perfect compliment to a high octane running game.

Maybe in the past but this year the team has looked more than capable of using screens and we just ignore them.

The screens to wide receivers I understand why the coaching staff doesn't use them and that is because Romo is horrible at throwing them....but a RB screen especially when a team is blitzing the crap out of you and you got the lineman that could get out there and block, I would set up 4-5 a game.

It was glorious to see a few screens last game. When I saw them I said "About freaking time".
