Again, I don't agree that Romo being hurt forced it. I think Linehan brought an expertise with him that he utilized since he came into a great line to work with.
I don't agree. Hell, Linehan only had one OC stint before Dallas and had a shit line and shit RBs to work with. I think he is single-handedly responsible for our philosophy change.
I'm only partly kidding. Yes, there are things like the onside kick up 13 that shows he may have changed his philosophy a bit, but most everything else up to and including play and game design I give credit to Linehan.
Yep, it's kinda nice seeing our players play with a chip on their shoulder for a change. They aren't entitled anymore. Let's just hope they keep playing like to underdogs in the playoffs.
