DAL: working to get in and out of the huddle faster.

Aug 24, 2009

The way Tony Romo approached practices inside the Alamodome, the offense had little time to breathe between plays.

There were numerous times when Romo was ready to run the next play before one, two or all three wide receivers made it back to the huddle. In one practice, the first-team offense broke the huddle an average of 16 seconds after the ball was placed.

The idea is to create a fast-paced tempo to keep the offense sharp and the defense on its heels.

"We're not going to be reactive," Romo said. "We're going to be proactive and we're going to try to push the envelope with our tempo, with our discipline and with our consistency in what we try to do on every play."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
