That Herring piece was really good. They must prep for stuff like that every week. I guess we executed much better this time than usual.
The piece on Romo's stats was also interesting. I thought it'd be interesting to look at his fumbles/passing attempt. It does appear that Romo is doing a better job of securing the ball early in this season.
2006 9 fumbles 220 attempts .0409 fumbles/attempt
2007 10 fumbles 335 attempts .0298 fumbles/attempt
2008 13 fumbles 276 attempts .0471 fumbles/attempt
2009 3 fumbles 117 attempts .0256 fumbles/attempt
At first, I thought this might be because Romo is getting sacked less this year and therefore less fumbles. However, a look at the times he's sacked/passing attempt shows that Romo is being sacked more this year than the previous two years. Indeed, Romo's ball security seems to have improved.
2006 21 sacks 220 attempts .105 sacks/att
2007 24 sacks 335 attempts .072 sacks/att
2008 20 sacks 276 attempts .072 sacks/att
2009 11 sacks 117 attempts .094 sacks/att
