He and Garrett have been working on something Romo calls "standing tall in the pocket". Apparently Romo sees that Brady plays that way and maybe even Montana. Per Romo, he usually makes 3 reads and each read requires him to shift and then set to get max strength/accuracy on each throw. But Romo thinks he should be able to stand in one position, make all 3 reads w/o moving his feet around so much. This would keep his feet "quiet" as he calls it so, in addition to getting the ball out quicker, he stays in his 7 step drop (or 3 or 5) & he's where his OL expects him to be for max protection & he also doesn't feel pressure earlier then necessary. Obviously in changing his stance, he's also worked to ensure he still can make all the throws accurately from the various positions/planes he has in [View Full Quote]the past. Also he mentioned he was working on changing his throwing motion to give him more power in his throws; apparently he stopped doing that when he finally accepted that he had greater power in his arm but lost some of his accuracy. Also in there somewhere he was working to improve his quick release which NFLN clocked last year at 2.6 compared to Marino's 3.0. According to Collingsworth, Marino generally considered to have quickest release in football but Romo's is even faster.

That's a hell of a post. Some real good info in there.

That's one thing I've always noticed about Romo is that you can watch him go through his reads by watching his feet. He does these little jump/shuffle things as he looks from one side of the field to the other. It gives you a glimpse of how fast he goes through them, but I can imagine it would definitely cause you to throw off balance more often than if you just stood tall and turned your head.
