I taped all my scholarship papers to my bicycle spokes.

Did you turn down the Naval Academy?

@toddarcher: Scott Linehan was asked this question at the Pro Bowl and he said the Cowboys will continue to do what they do. The difference is Bill Callahan will not be calling the running plays. That will now be Linehan's duty. The Cowboys have full belief in new line coach Frank Pollack in part because of what he brought to the running game changes first in 2013 and in 2014. Linehan will have tweaks but it will be more about the natural order of things and the development of players and the personality of the team. What it won't be is a change in scheme.

Linehan, not Callahan, will be calling the running plays that during this year with Callahan, were record setting, league leading and offense transforming. While the Linehan pass play calls were seldom inventive (except lady three reg season games) became fairly easily diagnosed. If Linehan were responsible for pass calls for the 3rd and 1 in the first half and 4th and 2 to end the game, it's not a good thing to give this dope the full set of keys to the Lamborgini. Seems to me, like Jason in 2013, Linehan needs someone to regulate the dumb pass plays.

Wait, Callahan actually called the run plays? That can't be right, can it?

My god how confusing was our offense? So Callahan gave Romo a run play and linehan a pass play? And thats what Romo chose to run or audible to?

No wonder Romo took up until 0 on the playclock to get a snap off.
