First, I finally found ESPN's NFL Matchup with Merrill Hoge, Ron Jaworski and Sal Paolantonio. This is my favorite NFL program, but I have not seen it yet this year. Guess why? It is on at 2:30 AM Sunday, and repeated at 6:30. (Central times) So, if you like this program, set your DVR, or get set your alarm clock.

This morning, they pointed out something interesting about the Cowboys pass protection last week. Hoge pointed out that on many plays, when the RBs released from the backfield, they ran into their own linemen, disrupting the blocking. They showed one example, the play where Austin was open on a post route for a sure TD, but when barber released, he ran into his own lineman, and Romo ended up getting hit as he released the ball, sending it a little wide and incomplete. Hoge said this was not isolated, and it was not only Barber doing this. I thought that was pretty interesting, and will try to watch for it today.

One thing I noticed was on one of Romo's fumbles (I think it was the one he lost,) it looks like Flozell stripped it.
