From Pro Football Talk

The Dallas Cowboys had several botched shotgun snaps on Monday night, with center Phil Costa hiking the ball to Tony Romo before Romo was ready. After the game, the Cowboys said that was because the Redskins were cheating.

NFL rules prohibit defensive players from making “disconcerting signals” by pretending to call out the quarterback’s cadence, but Romo said after the game that’s exactly what some Redskins defensive linemen were doing.

“We’ve got to get the snap thing worked out,” Romo said. “Costa said the D-line kept calling out the snap count. We’ll get that worked out. We’ll tell the league and see if that’s something that can be fixed because you’re not supposed to be able to do that. So we’ll see. But we can’t have that happen. We shouldn’t have been in that situation.”

ESPNDallas.com suggested that former Cowboys defensive end Stephen Bowen, who now plays for the Redskins, might have helped the Redskins learn Romo’s cadences to fool Costa into snapping the ball.

Disconcerting signals happen often in the NFL but are rarely called. Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck accused Broncos defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson of doing the same thing on Sunday.

For his part, Costa says he won’t blame anyone but himself for the botched snaps.

“I mean, you’ve got to take the blame for it,” Costa said. “And right now, get that problem fixed, without a doubt, and move on to the Lions.”

With Ndamukong Suh coming to town, Costa has his hands full this week.

How is this cheating?

Well apparently it is cheating according to that article. It seems kind of pointless to debate how exactly.

If the Redskins were trying to fool them on the snap count, why was Homo getting so pissed off at Costa, rather than complaining to the refs or yelling at the defense?

How many games has St.Louis win again so far this season? The Skins were undeafeated til last night and it probably had more to do with the Dallas defense than their ability to hump a football as you put it. We will see come next Sunday when the Foreskins come to your dome...

i know, i just wanted to say that cause that line was in my head from days of thunder lol. no harm intended.

Redskins looked like a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a football last night

Turns out the whole going to ACL thing 2 days after surgery really did a number. Sex flat out hurts right now.

Snip snip?

My original appt was for October 28th. As of 10/1, I won't have insurance for a while. So I explained the situaion, and asked them to call me if they had any cancellations. They called me on Tuesday @ 3:30, and had an opening the next morning at 11. The ACL trip had been planned for a year.

makes sense.

[bcoop]

Stupid question, but, why did you decide to do that a day or two before ACL? You knew you wouldn't be sitting around that weekend.

Whoever said it didn't articulate what he meant well, but if you read the post again you'll see he rated the defense at an 8, and the offense at a 3.

I take it back. I was glancing over quickly what everyone was saying on my phone.
