Kevin Kelley, Somerset, NJ: I see the play clock running dangerously low on every offensive play the Cowboys line up for. Is by design by Jason Garrett and Co. or is the snap cadence supposed to vary? It seems the offensive lines’ penalties may be a result of possibly knowing the play clock is near :00. If you watch some of our games over the past couple seasons, Romo begins his snap count with around nine seconds on the play clock, and if the staff is not aware of please, please point it out to them. Maybe they'll hire me to watch it for them.
Mickey: Come on now Kevin, with all the work these coaches do, do you really think they don’t know when the ball is getting snapped? And do you really think that if that is perceived to be a problem they wouldn’t already have corrected that? Look, you have 25 seconds basically to get off a play, and the offensive coordinator has 10 seconds to send the play to the QB through the communication device since it’s turned off with 15 seconds left on the play clock. So the QB calls the play in the huddle and gets the team to the line of scrimmage, and now there might be like 10 to 12 seconds left. By time the quarterback makes all his checks, points out who is blitzing, now we’re probably down to five to seven seconds. The offensive linemen have only been doing this for years, so no excuse. As long as they aren’t taking delay of game penalties, I don’t see a real problem here with this one.
