None of them were seeing it and the lack of extra protection didn't help. Easily the worst game for the line this year when it comes to pass protection.
If you go back and look at the game the line was beat very rarely the only time I can think of was the twist stunt by Kerrigan that Martin did not pick up.

The thing that killed us was the unblocked guy who was an overload and Murray having a subpar day blocking.

Was reading some stuff that said most of the blame goes to Romo not calling the proper protection and the routes developing to slow and the reluctance to go max protection.

Also it was noted that Romo missed some checkdowns.

That makes sense, it was pretty clear that Romo was off in other phases of the game as well. They'd better get that garbage ironed out pretty quick or he'll be a cripple by the fourth quarter of the season if not sooner.

It was Romo not standing in the face of pressure and delivering the ball as well. Guys where open. As we all know, even with a free rusher there is time for a QB to get the ball off. Romo just was gun shy instead.

Romo was spooked the entire game. The blitz puts him close to panic mode

It makes you wonder if we forgot Jim Hazlett was running that defense. That guy always gives us hell with the blitz, but we go in there with a bunch of 4 and 5 wide shotgun plays on the game sheet.

This game tells me that Linehan didn't do his homework or Garrett didn't brief him or both. The blitz is Hazlett' s signature when going against Romo.
