Safety Play

[BARRYRAY]

Anybody hear any discussion of what went wrong here. The left guard never even got out of stance and that guy hit romom full tilt. It ws really ugly. I just wondered if the center snapped it early or the other guys missed the snap count or what. that could have really been a disaster there..

From what I saw I think Gurode snapped it too soon. Proctor was not the only one staying in his spot so was the RB on that play and the rest of the line seem like they delayed as well coming off the ball.

It's hard to say. It does look like an early snap since both the left guard and left tackle didn't move. But then, it may be that Flo didn't move because Procter didn't move (i.e., because of his deaf ear, he may sometimes rely on movement from the guard/defense)

Oh stop it. If you can't blame everything on Procter then you clearly don't belong on this board.

The only one on the oline that did anything was Gurode. Flo, Proctor and Davis didn't move on the snap. It's on Gurode.

Yep. I'm tired of them messing up around the goalline. Romo fumbled an exchange. That ball goes to the Giants we got a very different game.

yeah haha what WAS that? interesting. what would have happened if romo just threw the ball 30 yards out of bounds?

Davis moved when he saw the ball snapped since he's right next to Gurode, Flo moved, late but Proctor looked like a statue... even though he, like Davis, is right next to the ball.

Gurode clearly snapped it early, even Romo wasn't ready.

True but he had his wits about himself to make a play off it. I don't like mistake any more than the next guy but they will happen and there are times you have to overcome them.

snap count issue...most likely...can't blame that one on Proctor (and to make it worse he, Proctor, actually had one hell of a great block when he pulled in the 4th!)...

I think you can blame Procter for still being in his stance when Romo was already getting pummeled, though. At least 76 made an attempt once the guys started coming. If someone in a blue jersey is running past you, it's alright to move.

I agree that is how I saw it as well. I thought in the 2nd half of the game Proctor and the line in general started doing a better job of picking up rushers. 1st half I thought they were going to get Romo killed but evidently they made some adjustments in the blocking and they did better as the game went on
