The purpose of it was to limit Tony's exposure to hits. In a happy side effect, it also greatly reduces his liability.But you're going to have to explain to me how it reduces the odds of "shitting the bed." If you shit the bed one out of 10 times, then running the ball doesn't change that.
The reality is they run the ball to lessen the pass rush on the OL and QB, to control the clock, to keep the shit defense off the field and fresher, etc. It's not for the purpose of Romo making fewer mistakes.
