Some of the players said at the time they felt that they did not pressure Romo early enough and that this defense is built for speed, which is not being used.

But on Wednesday, safety Deon Grant, who made many of the comments regarding the scheme, said his comments were taken out of context.

"When I say pressure, pressure means a guy in the quarterback's face," Grant said.
