They moved their players around ALOT before the snap to try and confuse Romo.

I've never seen a team do that as much as they did, especially in the first half.

How does a Offense exploit that type of Defense?

Dare them to blitz a mobile quarterback and roll out and hit Witten for 42 yards...wait.;)

I remember when teams used to do that against Bledsoe this year he'd totally collapse... forget his assignments, focus on the rush and sit down like a scared little girl.

No mo', Romo!

A lot of teams would run the design play. I don't remember where I heard it but a few OC compared it to Peyton Manning's fake signals at the LOS.

Bledsoe was not mobile so you lose on this one.

A few of the Fox replays where you saw Romo's face, he was cool as ice. No emotion on his face, just concentration, surveying the field.

Quick snap the ball and catch the defenders in the middle of shifting.

That always seems to work against us. ha ha

There's actually some merit to that.

What I'm really starting to get annoyed with is the fact that the Cowboys get held a lot at the line of scrimage and while I know small hold happen alot in this league. Sometimes there is blatant holding and it's not called. I'm mean there is a line judge and there is no way in hell he should have missed some of the holding calls. I saw one last night that was so blatant that my jaw was on the ground when no flag came out. It was unreal that it didn't get called.

I have noticed that too. There are a lot of people faking blitzes and not blitzing when Romo changes the play. I wonder why teams don't do that more often as the QB knows that where the blitz is coming from and no point running the blitz anyway

I saw lots of them myself, but I guess it was a home field officiating crew...

He'd just signal for max protect, that's all.

The worst call was the one against Henry defending Burrus. Henry made a great play and was looking back at the ball and did not hit Burrus. That is one call that should be sent to the head office. Can you imagine what Gibbs would do if it happened to the Commanders?

don't have to.....his tear ducts would empty themselves all over the place and it would be sloppy.
