Jon Kitna

Jon Kitna: If the Cowboys are to beat Chicago and hold the Mike Martz offense in check, then Jon Kitna might be in line for a game ball even if he doesn't take a snap.

Kitna has run the scout team in practice this week in part because of his familiarity with Martz's scheme. He played for Martz in Detroit, throwing for more than 4,000 yards in two seasons.

"He's throwing it quickly in practice for us and getting us an idea of kind of what the quarterback is looking for," Wade Phillips said, "so it's been good for us."

Kitna hasn't taken a snap since 2008, and recovery time for Romo's type of injury is 8-10 weeks.

It is still unclear how to mend a broken heart. But perhaps with this, we can begin to mend the fact that there was no open thread up for MNF tonight.
