Stephen Bowen: Cowboys don’t ‘miss a beat’ without Tony Romo

By Rick Maese
If Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is unable play Monday, it’s not necessarily a huge advantage for the Washington defense, says Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen.

“I don’t think they miss a beat at all, honestly,” said Bowen, who signed with the Redskins as a free agent in July after spending the first five seasons of his career with the Cowboys. “When Jon Kitna was in there, he did a great job. A lot of guys respond to him. I think he honestly could probably start for a lot of teams in this league still.

Don't be trying to start sumtin, Bowen.

Kitna could most definately start for your team Mr. Bowen.

Bowen knows damn well Romo is better, he's praying for Kitna...

[AmishCowboy]

Kitna could most definately start for your team Mr. Bowen. How true!

Oh, how hard they try to create controversy. He's just saying that Kitna is a quality backup, if Romo doesn't play. Of course they're trying to bait people into thinking Bowen is dogging Romo.

You know who hasn't missed a beat? The Cowboys without you Mr. Bowen. Hatcher has doubled your production in the first two games at a quarter of the price.

Exactly. I'm sure that as a former Cowboy he was asked about Kitna, and Bowen responded by saying good things about Kitna. But there are always fans hanging on every word, looking for any possible interperetation that they can turn into something negative.

I don't think what Bowen said was bad at all. He's just not buying into this idea that if Kitna had to play that it makes it a much easier game for the Redskins.

He knows that Kitna is a solid back up who can manage a game and keep a defense honest.
