The Facts:
Apparently, Romo's sway over the offense will be even greater with new OC Scott Linehan on board. "Romo will have more power under Linehan," owner Jerry Jones said. "Romo was ecstatic about Linehan ...They will be joined at the hip."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggests, more power for Romo and Lineahan means less power for HC Jason Garrett. Linehan will truly run the show on offense with Garrett having far less say. Jones revealed that Garrett was essentially the offensive coordinator last season, even though Bill Callahan had the title. Garrett even called the plays, especially in the red zone, despite the Cowboys' constant public statements that Garrett was giving up playcalling. That became a problem for Callahan. Now Linehan will have final say on the offense. Garrett will focus more on the defense, special teams, and all the other responsibilities of a head coach. ... Worth noting, Jones isn't worried about Garrett's lame-duck status entering the final year of his coaching contract. "(Garrett) has a high tolerance for ambiguity," Jones told reporters.
