No no no no! Not true...it's all Romo's fault. If he was any kind of REAL leader he would force his linemen to block better. That's what the Water-head Wonder Eli does.

Not Jerry's fault, Not Romo's fault, Not JG's fault, etc. Who's fault is it then?

Romo is a good player but after his flop in Washington he deserves a lot more criticism.

The line was good enough and he had an absolute freak out game on that stage.


I thought he was past that type of performance but the guy absolutely choked. I understand his coach didn't help him much but still.

"Tony Romo is playing behind an offensive line that is not that good. They’re not that good. This kid is running for his life. How can a quarterback get into a nice rhythm when he’s dropping back five steps or six steps and has to move around because somebody’s coming off the edge, and then has to circle back and somebody’s coming off the other edge, and then try to go up the middle and the middle’s already collapsed."
It's one of those things where we may never know what Emmitt really thinks on this particular topic.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

100% agree with that! The truth is probably somewhere in the middle with what he thinks. What they say in interviews can't be trusted most of the time.

I know one thing for sure, this OL needs attention in this draft early and often.

If you Romo and the running game will have a chance, we MUST address that line properly this time.

Conveying coherent thought has never been Emmitt's strong suit. God love him though. One of the best ever.

With failure as with success in a team enviroment you can start at the top and work your way down. Whose fault? Jerry, Jason and coaching staff and players including Romo. You want a single figure to point to but there is always enough blame to go around beyond 1 or 2 people.

Same with success it is never 1 man but everyone from the top on down who share in it.

No doubt we've debacaled our O-line.
