The 3rd Romo pick

[Hoofbite]

That pick was much like one against the Giants from a season or two ago.

LB showed one thing and then ducked out under the play.

Sorry but that pass was thrown too far in front of Ogletree. Olgetree couldn't even get his ONE hand on it. He certainly couldn't have gotten two.

If Romo lofts that pass a little bit further downfield and lets Murray run under it (instead of throwing it directly at him), they gain 60+ yards, as the replays showed that there was no other defender on that side of the field, as the WR had run a post (I think) and dragged the safety with him. The LB had a great angle on a direct pass, but his momentum would have left him far behind Murray if the ball had gone a little further upfield. I know Romo didn't have time to consider how to throw it, but it would have worked for a big gain. Just my way of saying that this game was lost on a matter of inches.

yeah its really unfortunate that wasn't thrown better.

but if you look at his ints. Its a physical deficiency. Pressure in his face needs to be prevented so he can step up. Stronger qbs like roethlisberger and Eli can strong arm it. Romo can't.

it happened to brees, where having a solid pocket despite bad Ts let him move around. When Brady had pressure up the middle he failed too.



that's why the Steelers double a gap blitz is so effective.
