Is Romo actually changing the play or are they using this to throw the defense off due to his history of using the audible to option out of run plays? There were several times when he said Kill, Kill, Kill... and they ran. Did he really switch a pass play to run or were they just using his history to bluff the defense????

The world may never know.

it always means a play change because the line and recievers would'nt know which was real if it did'nt. sometimes the original play could have been a pass and change to run or both plays could have been runs and change to the other because of the alignment of the d.

I thought for sure I heard him say "Jessica how do you like me now" at one point!

Seemed like he was faking it to me too.

A player(not a Cowboy) said one of the funniest audibles he ever heard was 'Papa Johns' against Denver.

Is the defense allowed to just scream out nonsense? Can the defense just yell 'Kill, Kill, Kill" or '51 is the Mike' when it is actually 53 to try to intentionally confuse the offense? Or is that a penalty? I think they are not allowed to simulate a snap count. Other than that, is everything fair game?

One of the main differences is play-action. We do it all the time now. So even if we audible out, the defense is having a lot more trouble dissecting what we are doing.

Someone may have mentioned it already, but didn't the Kill audible just tell the Tight End(s) to stay and block because they expected a blitz? Not necessarily switching from run to pass?
