Something tells me this guy is going to slaughter defenses this season.

If Romo goes up top with that endzone pass, TD easy. I loved seeing him on the field for as much as he was out there today. He should probably be out there at all times.

In fact, I'd almost rather just sit Deon and use the TEs in that lead blocking role. Keep the best players on the field for as much as you can. Cricket's crazy and plays his *** off but he just doesn't really offer a whole lot more than "battering ram" status.

Can't wait to see Romo get another shot at that jump ball.

I pretty much agree though you want to feature some different packages.

Gotta wonder *** Romo was thinking. Bennett listed at 6'6, Ronde Barber listed at 5'9, not to mention how high Bennett can jump, lob it up. Even if he over threw him out of the endzone that's fine, but put it high enough that Barber can't make a play on it.

first game of the season. I guarantee you they're running that one over and over after practice this week.

definately hope so cause there aren't many CBs who can cover him there.

I can't recall ever seeing a #2 TE split out wide and freaked Ds out.

I don't recall Romo being particularly good at that jump ball pass play

With Bennett and Roy, he better get good at it.

Want to edit your previous post -- didn't understand what you were saying there.

You're right. I dont think he's ever had anyone to throw it to though.

Owens was far from a jump ball player, and he would always catch the stop-fade.

But yeah, with Roy and MartyB, he better work on that, because it should be a staple in the red zone. No excuse when lined up against smaller corners in man that we dont complete that play 80% of the time.

I'm sure they'll make beautiful music together.

What don't you understand?

I haven't ever seen a team with a #2 TE who causes such hand wringing by splitting out wide.

How will defenses play it? It is a huge mismatch. You could put a big linbacker on him but Bennett would outrun him.

yeah, audible to a crossing pattern or put him in motion.

in your original post, swap "and" with "that".

He's not that good at it because we've never ran it or had a receiver that can run it until we got Marty B and Roy Williams. I guarantee you Jason Garrett saw that on film and they'll be working on that in practice.
