How many more sloppy QB to RB exchanges before we lose one?

Why can they not correct this?

I can't get tight enough film to figure whats causing it.

It's been happening 2-3 times a game lately. :bang:

The center or guard is stepping back once before powering forward on run plays. That step backwards is on Warner's foot.

I agree it's silly and needs to be fixed.

It's gotten so regular that the commentators didn't even say anything about it.

I think maybe Buck and Aikman think Warner prefers handing off while sprawling face-first onto the ground.

It seems the Cards best runs come from Warner falling down on the handoff, I say they just add it to the playbook.

The commentators talked about it in one of the previous games and said that it was just a by-product of the line splits being shrunken to help with the run blocking. With the lineman in tight, their feet are that much closer to Warner's and when they pull or take their first step if it's backward his feet are bound to get stepped on.
