These dummies abandoned the running game, just gave up on it and became one dimensional, and for no good reason. At the time, they had the fucking lead! This was us, prior to 2014 when Linehan took over play calling.
They don't appear to be much of a match for us at this point. They can't seem to be able to grok that when we bring 3 nobody's gonna be open. We have 6 or 7 in coverage. This is what Romo used to have to contend with all the time until we found a dominant run game in 2014.
Dak sells the fake handoff does it the same whether giving the ball or not. Instead of just "showing him the ball" like Romo and a lot of others do. Just excellent fundementals and attention to detail.
