Far too much time back there for him & when he left the pocket, he was never forced to throw off balance.

I kind of felt that Orapko was assigned to keep Romo contained rather then just rush him. It seemed like Orapko stayed in front of him and to his outside while the presure came from Romo's right and in front of him in order to keep romo from running to his left. I dont know how true this is, but it seemed this way to me.

I really liked the way our front 7 played. I would love to see Neild get some more reps, he could end up being a stud.

If that's the case, he didn't do much of a job as Romo rollled to his side to make several big plays. In fact, I don't recall one in which Romo scrambled to his right.

On a similar note, read J. Kleim's wash examiner 10 observatons article (link on left hand side of warpath home pg.). He said he heard from a dallas source that the plan was to run to Rak's side.

Yeah and i dont think Rak played good, but tony romo didnt have any rushing yards even though hes a good scrambler. Maybe the plan was to rely on our secondary and force him to throw the ball and not give him the option to run, which will open more things up downfield. I think our front 7 played the best they have all year even though Orapko didnt seem to really do anything, so im just wondering what his roll was.
