They gave Romo plenty of time.

Just trying to battle the negativity. :)

Yeah that offensive line look impressive for the most part... I believe Romo got sacked only once and that was basically due to Kosier using poor technique and Tuck got under his pads..

And that's after considering how Flozell Adams can't stop himself from committing incredibly stupid false starts.

We would not be saying this if Drew was QB

Romo's escapability was very impressive tonight.

I disagree. He wasn't forced out of the pocket much at all. The most he did was step up into the pocket or move laterally a step or two. Even Bledsoe could do that -- every QB has to.

They kept the pocket formed clean very well all night.

I think you're both right. If drew was in there he would have been sacked. Romo just finds them quicker and has better feet. I'm not talking scrambling, he just feels pressure so much better.

OL did very well.

They were very good, but Romo helped.

Now let's not get crazy.

Really though, the O-line was outstanding in pass protection. Romo had all day to go through his reads. I really didn't expect that with Tuck and Strahan, who I expected to make some big plays on a national stage.
