Video: Sideline footage before the 4th Down in OT

Absolutely. If you can hold the offense to no points on that first drive, not only did you nullify the entire advantage of receiving but you give yourself the opportunity for the double score at the end of the half.

Receiving at the start of the 2nd half is always better, IMO.
I think the only real advantage is having the ball last. If you are ahead you can run out click if behind you can tie or win

before that he went 4th and 1 from the goal line in the third quarter down 20-7.

This stuff is not new and he has a good sense of when to do this.
Not that I don't agree with that sentiment, but I don't recall ever seeing him gamble like that. He gambled 3 times. Didn't blink. I think what is unique in this situation is just how much he trust and loves this team. Anything they are holding back at this point is for the sole purpose of not putting it on film... given how this team as a whole prepares, their is nothing they can't execute.
 
Dak and Zeke are having this impact on Garrett. He would never call a fake punt before and likely kicks a field goal instead in overtime. He just has the confidence that those two will find a way to get it done. I noticed several instances where I said to myself, they wouldn't let Romo throw in this situation. One was having 58 seconds before halftime and being on their own 6 yard line. With Romo, they run out the clock so he doesn't throw a pick or fumble and give up a cheap score before the half. With Dak, they had confidence that he wouldn't do something stupid.

They trust a rookie QB with in a clock management situation over a 10 year starter with countless clock beating drives? Sure ya right....
 
Where can I watch this video?

It's on YouTube. Just click the "before the" heading in the upper left corner of the video window. That will take you directly to the location on YT where you can see the YT comments etc etc.
 
Now if we could only get him to defer when we win the coin toss.
I think he clearly prefers starting fast on offense rather than putting the defense out there.
It's working for team confidence and psyche. I continue to expect another team to win the toss and take the ball first just to mess with us.
 
Saw this posted. Got chills.



I was reading an article the other day and within it, there was a gif or video of a closeup of Garrett's face staring straight ahead for a good 5-6 seconds, undaunted, after which you can clearly see him decisively mouth the words "let's go for it." That gave me chills as well.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find this?
