Bottom line: Romo got his feet tangled by Wolfe pushing his lineman into him, couldn't rotate as well as normal so he threw it at a lower than normal velocity. Trevathan took a shallow angle to jump the route, and covered seven feet in his stretch to catch the ball. Great play by Danny coupled with a throw with a little less than desired velocity.

Its amazing watching that play live it just looked like a forced pass by Romo into tight coverage followed by an amazing effort on the INT by Trevathan. Never would have known his feet got tangled with Wolfe and how much that affected the throw. Just goes to show that mistakes in football come from a variety of factors, not just the QB's decision making. Still wonder if he would have connected on the throw without the loss of velocity.

Romo said he wanted to put the ball about another out in front of the receiver.

this kind of thing happens all the time I think. sports science doesn't break down everyplay. plus a similar thread has already been started on this.

And it just shows how shallow all of our attempted analyses in the
previous prolonged discussion about the play were, including mine. There
is often more than what meets the eye . . .

I dont think so really. At least for me. I still think when the pressure was on he should of checked down to Murray but continued to force the pass anyway. Doesnt take away what Tre did but i dont think anyone's analysis was shallow or out of touch.

No one really jumped his ass for it. It was just pointed out (maybe a little sarcastically) that another thread had already been started on the topic. He seemed to take that far more personally than it was intended.

I didn't say anyone's analysis was "out of touch," did I? I said our analyses
were a bit shallow. "Shallow" means not deep enough. Sports Science went
a bit deeper than we had. Therefore, our (including my) analyses were a bit
"shallow." I don't think that was any kind of an insult, just that the facts
were a bit deeper than what we had observed, and they were.
