Now everyone is going to be looking that that... Romo will have to change it up.

I think it is the equivalent of Romo telling Dez ,"Hey look a free touchdown".

Don't think that is exactly rocket science or required of a decoder. lol.

About the only thing they could do is call a timeout. Romo just recognized that Bradley was alone in man and I assume changes his route. Not like the CB can do much differently.

True, but if I am a free safety and I can see that... I am moving right on top of Dez

The two of them are starting to develop a Aikman/Irvin type relationship on the field.

Yeah but if the safety leaves his assignment, something else is probably wide open. It was just a bad defensive call and there was nothing legal the corner could do about it.

Middle finger? Just kidding...... Hope they don't ban me for a day for saying that.

They were showing blitz/10 men in box. Romo even said after game thumbs up just meant run route they already called anyway. It wasn't a signal to change anything, just run what they called. Which was go route vs. 1 on 1 press coverage. Bryant beat his guy, Romo looked off safety (still had Williams, Beasley & Witten going out too) and dropped pass in perfectly to Dez.

Next time he does a thumbs up it might mean run route that was called and that could be a slant.

Is that like Rogers laughing at the EaGirls defense when he played against them? Romo has more class.

On a serious note, I saw it on the post game interview where Romo said that was a signal to Dez telling him to go with the route that was discussed in the huddle.

By that time the defense is already set in their play and ready to go. They can't exactly do anything about it at that point. I thought it was hilarious. He basically told the Eagles defender what was coming and stop it if you can.

if I see the #88 or "Bryant" on a jersey, I am moving over lol. Regardless of tony's signals.

Romo was asked about that, and he indicated that, but also said he couldn't give away anything they are doing, then smiled.

No you're not. Because a) you have multiple wide receivers to your left you're also responsible for helping and Romo held you with his eyes to the left before throwing right.

More likely you hope your coordinator doesn't put you in an impossible situation.

All week the trash talkers said they were going to stop Murray. They could not do it without safety help and Dez made them pay. I loved it.

 

[Doomsday101]

Easy read on Romo part, philly had safeties up with no help over the top, send Dez deep and hang it up for him to go get it.

 

[Hostile]

I honestly did not notice that on the play. I love it. I was screaming for him to go deep to Dez when I saw the play lining up.

You really think Romo is going to do that again? And if he does it could be a decoy.

Only after you've seen it before....which you hadn't...and won't.
