Romo's 2 Passes

[BIGDen]

I didn't get to see them because they cut the game coverage short in my area, but if you go to http://www.nfl.com/ under "Headlines" and then click "video" next to the Dallas/Houston game-related articles you can see the passes. Nice to see Romo carry out that fake on the TD. It's good to see somebody that can move out of their own way..

Deep ball short is one of the toughest to defend - happens all the time in the NFL. I really don't know why that would scare you. WR goes up and makes the play.

[Tobal]

He just threw it up for grabs, you think he intentionally left that short?

you're kidding yourself

[Doomsday]

Sometimes you just have to give your WRs a chance to make a play when they are 1 on 1.

Hurd was 1 on 1, but there was safety help over the top. If that pass isn't severely underthrown (and I don't think anyone can guarantee he meant to do that) it's easily picked off. Great play by Hurd to locate and come back to it.

[Thick 'N Hearty]

I can see both sides on the deep pass. What impressed me was his ability to quickly read the end rush on the roll out, stop and his T.O. in stride. Doesn't happen with Bledsoe. I'm tellin' ya fellas, Romo is the real deal. Yes it was a couple of passes in one game, but how he handled himself told me a lot.

I was telling my buddies that if Bledsoe had done the simple roll out, he would've freaked out and taken a sack. That's what Romo brings to the table. I'm glad Bledsoe had a good game and didn't have any turnovers, but the playbook grows when Romo is in.

[dfense]

The BIG double standard right? If Bledsoe throws that ball he's an idiot tossing it up and it probably gets picked. But for the fresh new face at QB Romo, it's letting your receiver make a play. I like that.:cool:

[Tobal]

I think it's way to early to tell much.

I like Romo, I'm just not going to sign off on everything he does

[MichaelWinicki]

I'm just grateful we no longer have to read on this board, "Romo hasn't even attempted a pass in a real game".

[WoodysGirl]

I'm just grateful we no longer have to read on this board, "Romo hasn't even attempted a pass in a real game".Well we'll still see "Romo hasn't played against a real NFL defense" (Texans don't count)

[MichaelWinicki]

Well we'll still see "Romo hasn't played against a real NFL defense" (Texans don't count)

True. :)

But now I can use, "Romo has a better QB rating than Bledsoe". ;)

I'm just grateful we no longer have to read on this board, "Romo hasn't even attempted a pass in a real game".

What about:

"Romo hasn't even thrown an incompletion in a real game"
or
"Romo hasn't completed a pass to the right side of the field in a real game"
or
"Romo hasn't completed a pass to a non WR in a real game"

I've got those ready now

Bledsoe made a pass like that in Double Coverage to TO in the endzone and TO made the play on it.

I was not saying that was a bad pass by Bledsoe.

[theogt]

Hurd was 1 on 1, but there was safety help over the top. If that pass isn't severely underthrown (and I don't think anyone can guarantee he meant to do that) it's easily picked off. Great play by Hurd to locate and come back to it.The safety was sitting on the opposite hash mark at the time. Not really a threat to get to that ball over or under thrown. The corner that was covering him man to man was about 6 inches shorter than Hurd. It's not as risky a throw as some people are making it out to be.

Severely underthrown would be the pass that Bledsoe threw to Owens against Philly.. Romos pass was underthrown with severe pressure and because he was getting hit almost while throwing we will never know if it was meant to be underthrown.

Nor was it as great as some are making it out to be. The underthrown deep ball on the sideline isn't extremely risky. That pass hung, though, and fortunately Hurd didn't give the ball's position away with his eyes. So fortunately, it wasn't an INT.

It's amazing what decent pass protection and great blitz pickup will do for you.

I'm not against Romo, I just don't like balls thrown like that, it had so much air under it, that it would be easy to get too, luckily Hurd was the only one who saw it.

It all turned out well and Romo made it happen, kudo's

I am not totally on the Romo bandwagon, but my issue with Bledsoe is he does not seem to be recognizing the defense before the play. Look at the play below, Witten is totally uncovered and he goes ahead with the running play instead of just tossing it out to Witten. Thanks to phillycowboyslover for the pic.

It's amazing what decent pass protection and great blitz pickup will do for you.That's just it. They didn't pick up that blitz* -- at least they didn't keep the guy off him for long. He was being hit as he threw it. Any slower of a release or decision making and he would have been sacked his arm would have been hit.

* I will say that it was a 7 man blitz so kudos to the line for giving him the amount of time they did.

Mostly I meant for Bledsoe - because Houston was coming up the middle all day long, and except for that one sack early - where all 5 Olinemen and a TE blocked 3 DLinemen and Barber was left one on two with a DE and a DT - they really did quite well. That was a big blitz from Houston, and they gave Romo just enough time - barely.

[aikemirv]

There really are not many CB's who play the ball on deep throws in the NFL these days and that is why these plays are more and more sucessful. In both cases yesterday the CB's had no idea hwere the ball was, especially in a blitz situation, the CB is just turning and running on a deep ball.

By the way, Romo in preseason made a living throwing the underthrow down the sidelines... not the same play of course, more of what Bledsoe completed to Crayton yeaterday for the first down, but still he is very good at that type of play.

Except in those, he clearly meant to throw the back shoulder fade - unlike the duck to Hurd yesterday. I love Romo's ability to make that throw, though, in perfect timing. Because unless you scheme to take it away, 1 on 1, an accurate throw like he had in the preseason is absolutely indefensible.

Bledsoe was not sharp yesterday period. the defense pulled our team up yesterday and then Bledsoe got it going but he was far from good yesterday - like he sadi, OK is about the word for it.

I hated the throw away on fourth down more than anything else he did yesterday. At least if no one is open, you try to run for it on 4th, not throw it away!

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Romo's accuracy is spot on. Like I said before, I don't think Bledsoe completes that TD pass. He panics because someone from the end is rushing in uncovered.

[superpunk]

I hated it, too - but face it. That was a 1 receiver route, and it was covered perfectly. Everyone else blocked, it was all or nothing on Glenn. If Glenn had turned upfield, Bledsoe might have turned it loose. Glenn didn't. But I think Bledsoe got rid of it TOO quick that time. The rush was handled, he had another second.

[ghst187]

with the corps of WRs we have....you need to give them opportunities.
Romo will probably get yelled at for that pass though ha.
But one thing is pretty certain, Bledsoe would've gotten sacked on BOTH plays which Romo completed passes. Instead, we get a 33 yard gain and a TD.
I'm sure Romo will make some mistakes but I firmly believe he will make more big plays also, and many of those will probably be after he avoids the rush.

As much as I have bashed Blesdsoe the past week, I have to agree 100% here. There error was not on Bledsoe, it was on Glenn for not adjusting his route inside and up the field. The blitz up the middle left the middle of the field with a HUGE open zone. Can't fault Drew for that one.

You just don't give up on 4th down. Tuck it and run for the 1st down... at least try... why in the world would you throw it out of bounds. I don't care if he would have made the first down running or not ... just try!

Was he going to run around the 20 foot wide pile of men and turn it upfield on the outside? Maybe he was instructed to throw it away. Again - it was a 1 receiver route. It was Glenn or nothing. Blame the play-call for that ridiculous display, not Bledsoe. We should have been picking up a yard on one of the league's worst defenses on the ground.

Bad play call - no doubt. If you are going to throw you go deep anyway if you ask me.

But....maybe it is just me... and maybe he does not have a chance at all, but what is there to lose at least trying to run for it?

He could fumble. I really think he was instructed to look for Glenn, and if it was gone, throw it away. This was one time Bledsoe needed to be Bledsoe (i.e. hang onto it) and he just cut it loose the second Glenn was covered.

[Sportsbabe]

Absolutely. He at least gave his guy an opportunity to make a play. I'm sure Bill didn't like it but I did.

You may want to look at that play again, Bledsoe did not have that much time. Barber totally whiffed on his block and a defender was coming from Beldsoe's left, since he was looking at that side, with Glenn, he saw it and had to get rid of it. If that man had been blocked, Glenn might of had time to adjust his route. Bledsoe had no choice but to throw it away. If he would have forced it, it could have been pick 6 the other way.

[Sportsbabe]

I'm just grateful we no longer have to read on this board, "Romo hasn't even attempted a pass in a real game".

Yep. And we also don't have to hear it from the talking heads.

And another thing ... why is it that quarterbacking appears much more easier with Romo than with Drew. Why is it that TO miraculously was wide open on Romo's TD pass.

I wasn't counting the seconds. It looked like he had a little more time. Maybe he didn't.

[Stautner]

He just threw it up for grabs, you think he intentionally left that short?

you're kidding yourself

He may have thrown it short intentionally.

Even if he didn't, it was not thrown up for grabs.

The fact is that with both the WR and the DB running downfield at full speed, the WR has a huge advantage because he knows the route and he is looking back at the QB. The DB is going a little blind - not knowing the route, or when the ball is released, or the trajectory and path of the ball. Accordingly the WR is able to adjust to the ball fairly easily and the DB is much slower to react, and really doesn't know where the ball is even when he does.

Quality NFL QB's know this and are taught this and make that throw all the time.

[superpunk]

Yep. And we also don't have to hear it from the talking heads.

And another thing ... why is it that quarterbacking appears much more easier with Romo than with Drew. Why is it that TO miraculously was wide open on Romo's TD pass.

Because TO is faster when Romo is in there? :eek: :rolleyes:

Or, maybe it was a great play design, and the Texans were fooled by the play-fake and the motion.

[ConcordCowboy]

On Romo's TD pass it was a nice fake and then a nice quick release to Owens.

Bledsoe would have got sacked on that play.:p:

Yeah. And TO's 1st TD belonged to Jason. Our boy Drew missed him when no one was within "50 yards" of him.

And don't get me started on that 4th & 1. I don't know if that's more our offensive playbook than Drew. Heck New Orleans offense looks 10 times better than we do and it's there first year in their system.

I just don't know about our offense. It just doesn't make much sense. If I never see another fade pass to the corner of the end zone will be one time too many for me. Is this the only pass that Drew knows how to throw in the red zone?????

I saw that play again and thought wow that could have been an easy TD. But the play was rushed because Bledose was trying to catch the 12th man from getting off the field, you see his feet on the top right corner. Also, Witten also was called for a penalty for not being set so had he caught the TD pass it wouldn’t have counted.

Whether it would have counted or not is beside the point - that doesn't change the fact that Bledsoe should have seen him.

I guess you missed the whole, catching the 12th man thing.

[Stautner]

I guess you missed the whole, catching the 12th man thing.

They were trying to catch the defense off guard, which includes catching them out of position like they were with Witten. The ONLY focus of catching a team off guard isn't just to catch them with 12 men on the field.

We score from getting the ball in the endzone, not by focusing SOLELY on moving half the distance to the goal from just a few yards out - and quality QB's are capable of looking over the whole situation.

Obviously Bledsoe needed to look over the whole situation because if he had he would have been able to make sure Witten got set.

[tecolote]

On Romo´s first pass, it was 3th and long, out of field goal range, what´s the worst thing that could´ve happened, an interception at the 5, so what.

What you don't see on that play is that Shawn Merriman had just saved a man's life in the upper deck by performing cpr... he then flew down to the field and covered up Witten tightly...

Yep how the heck can you read coverages if you dont look over the field. No wonder why he is always getting sacked he has no clue who is lining up where. Also I wonder if he has a different routine for looking over the defenses when its a run vs a pass. Talk about tipping off the defense.

With him trying to catch the defense with 12 men, it would have been hard for him to check to the pass. If he had scanned the field, the guy would have made it to the sideline. Plus, the play was a run, so he would have had to check to a pass... during that time, the Texans could have realized that Witten was uncovered, and could have run someone over there. The smart play is to try to catch the guy on the field to get the penalty IMO. To do that they just had to run the play called.

[Stautner]

Obviously. Which is why it's so great sitting on a Monday Morning throne and critiquing every move made.

I'll be the first to admit that this is Monday morning quarterbacking and it is unreasonable to expect flawless performances.

Bledsoe made a mistake though - that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it's unforgivable or inexcusable - although looking over the field before the snap might be a good idea. Not noticing that the lone reciever spread out to one side is completely uncovered is one of the bigger mistakes a QB can make.

[mwj473]

I will agree it was a bit different trying to catch the defense with 12 men on the field, but he would not have to check off to a pass play, just stand up and throw it to Witten. Who cares if the other 9 players don't know what is going on, it's 6 points. Just make sure the pass is behind the LOS so the lineman can go downfield legally. I've seen Mcnabb do this before.

[Funxva]

Wow you Bledsoe haters damn him if he does and damn him if he doesn't.

[mwj473]

Wow you Bledsoe haters damn him if he does and damn him if he doesn't.

If you are refering to me, I'm only talking about this play. I think he made some good decisions yesterday. My main worry is looking at this play, does Drew even look at the defense pre snap, which would be an extremely bad thing, or was trying to get the penalty what caused him to not look at the defense. He sent Witten out in motion, but didn't look to see if anyone was following him, or allow Witten to get set.

[Sam I Am]

Wow you Bledsoe haters damn him if he does and damn him if he doesn't.


Not only do I damn him if he does or he doesn't I damn him before and after too!! :D

[StarAmongStars]

I didn't get to see them because they cut the game coverage short in my area, but if you go to http://www.nfl.com/ under "Headlines" and then click "video" next to the Dallas/Houston game-related articles you can see the passes. Nice to see Romo carry out that fake on the TD. It's good to see somebody that can move out of their own way..

Make your reservations for Canton, because both of those throws were a thing of beauty especially since the game was on the line against a superbowl contender when Romo threw them.....:rolleyes:

[Thick 'N Hearty]

Wow you Bledsoe haters damn him if he does and damn him if he doesn't.

I'm an equal opportunity hater. There's plenty to spread around, why waste it on one person...:p:

[aikemirv]

Wow you Bledsoe haters damn him if he does and damn him if he doesn't.


For some people it may be hate, for me, I am just tired of his predictable play. We need to have 3 to 4 options on passing plays. Our line and Drews immobility are causing us to just have Glenn and TO in the passing plays a lot of the time. We can't be successful that way.

If you play Romo and his mobility you can get more people in the passing game and IMO, open up a lot more plays because he seems to get rid of the ball quicker and hit the checkdowns and keep everyone involved. It would keep the defense much more offbalanced.

I just don't really like our offense at this point and I think that our Oline/Drew combo are holding us back in attacking. Any QB in the NFL can perform given time, so saying you have to give him tons of time is a cop out.

Drew can't take us to the Superbowl and I would rather see if Romo can. If he can't then so be it, but Drew is not going to either.

[davidyee]

...is everyone's QB when he has time and makes the throws, but it's not hard to realize that his immobility is hard on an offensive line when they face stiff competition.

That's not just on the field, but also in the schemes run by opposing coordinators. Until Drew can show he can adjust to pressure in the pocket, he will always be vunerable to blitzes.

Some players made a career out of adjusting and there are different ways of accomplishing that.

Montana would roll out, Tarkington had good wheels and Marino had a hair trigger.

Whatever it is sometimes it's not just about the team, but also how the individual readjusts. That's just what great players do.

[Fletch]

He just threw it up for grabs, you think he intentionally left that short?

you're kidding yourself

I saw the play. Tony hung in the pocket and absorbed a pretty big hit. What I saw was some arm strength. He knew he just had to get the ball up there for Hurd who definitely had the size advantage over the DB.

It was a great play! Jake Delhomme has made a name for himself throwing passes like that.

All in all, it was a good play by Tony. I am excited to see him as our starter, whenever the opportunity arises.

[Clove]

To me, if you you're going to throw it on 4th and 1, and you're only going to use 1 receiver in the route, just go deep. If it's intercepted, so what, it's like a punt.

But I honestly don't like plays where you only have 1 option.

Just like the miss fire to Witten.

I can understand if that was a deep pass, but it was a simple slant for a TD and Bledsoe missed him by a mile. I do understand that s*** happens, but when it's touch down time, you don't get a thousand opportunities for wide opened receivers.

[dallasfan31]

i was glad to see him play i want to see him more this season.

I didn't get to see them because they cut the game coverage short in my area, but if you go to http://www.nfl.com/ under "Headlines" and then click "video" next to the Dallas/Houston game-related articles you can see the passes. Nice to see Romo carry out that fake on the TD. It's good to see somebody that can move out of their own way..

Do you really think the fact that the play wouldn't have counted justifies Bledsoe not seeing that the sole receiver split out to one side was uncovered?
