Strahan Recap on WFAN...

[Juke99]

I'm so happy they lost. It was thick in garbage about how they deserved to play for a national championship. They never deserved it, before or after the first loss.

I didn't even watch the game. Or any other college game. It's all too healthy for me. Give me jaded pros please.

I just posted that to try to annoy BradPaint.

The next time, make sure you put it in bullet format.

Thanks.

I knew some ungrateful bastid was gonna make a comment about that.

Hey...I realize I'm not trickblue...but how about a little love for my first recap?

Thanks for the recap!

I dont think anyone can stress enough the importance of the Pass Rush not knowing where the QB is on every play.

Romo dodged several tacklers and even broke free a couple of times, so what happens, when the game is on the line, you put doubt into the defenders mind and he ends up thinking too much.

I think that was the play where the ball went through the defenders hand. I meant to re-watch that, as I think the ball was just outside of his reach as oppose to going through his hands.

Gerbil Wilson definitely got his hands on that ball. Great concentration and catch by Crayton (romo to Crayton - sure thing), and so close to being taken to the house by Wilson. His right hand touched it, I think. I'd rather be lucky than good sometimes.

Evidently, the play for Jacobs was called for an inside run, he broke it to the outside on his own.

I'll keep my ear to the radio today.

According to Eli, Jacobs broke to the outside because the inside was sealed up. He didn't think he had anywhere to go and thought he had a better chance outside, except that he ran to the wrong side (Ware's side).

When you rewatch it, you'll notice that there was a reason that McQuarters stopped his rush. Romo gave a subtle move with his shoulder, not a true pump fake, but just enough to freeze him. Really a savvy move of a veteran QB.

Strahan said that McQuarters stopped because Romo had gotten away earlier and the defense talked about keeping him to their inside shoulder...SO, just the threat of Romo being able to get away made McQuarters stop.

pretty good for a first time. you're our own romo. standing on the sidelines all this time.

Good job by the interior defense....equally good job by Ware.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, it even fooled the camera-man and they started showing the opposite field because they thought the ball had been picked off.

Romo is something special.

I have a strong feeling that people's kids on this board and their grandkids will be asking about this guy in the future (kind of like most of us do with Cbz40 :laugh2: ). Just an opinion and probably getting a little head, but I just have that feeling.

Yep..from now on, his name is "trickbl..edsoe"

Not to sound rude, but I truly don't care what Strahan has to say about that play, I'll trust what I saw.

Watch it again and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. McQuarters clearly reacts to Romo's shoulder movement.

he did tip it.... just got a finger on it before the catch... it was visible in HDTV upon rewatch.

The Boys and Romo got super lucky on that one.

Perhaps...but if they were rushing as they did earlier, he would have gone in with abandon, shoulder movement or not...they were VERY aware of Romo sidestepping them earlier in the game.

I actually thought he had picked it off...

I need HDTV I guess.

Thank's for the recap Juke.

Thank's for the recap Juke.

Glitz. That trickblue guy is all about glitz.

I don't need Strahan to tell me what happened on that play or what could happen.

Go back to the Bradie James play where he blitzed cleanely up the middle and came with total abandon at Eli. Once very simple sidestep by Eli and James was totally out of the play.

How much moreso with Romo back there. Unless that QB is hemmed in (and Romo was not) with no place to go rushers must come at him under control or he will elude them.

McQuarters was right to do what he did. It almost got them a pick.

And yeah, Romo is awesome at avoiding the rush, looking off defenders, disguising what he's really going to do. We saw a few more textbook examples yesterday.
