Holley: That's the difference between Dak and Romo

[Risen Star]

He's right.

 

[AKATheRake]

I said the same thing.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Any veteran qb should have.

 

[Vtwin]

It was easy to see as his rookie season played out. Prescott is cautious to the core and has zero killer instinct.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

This is so overblown. I don't think Schottenheimer literally meant to just snap it and throw it away. He meant don't take any stupid chances, to throw it away if you don't like what you see.

This is the problem now with coaches trying to take bullets for players. The age old wisdom is for leaders to take responsibility, but the media and fans take this literally and think he really meant, "Just throw it away, don't even try to score here." Of course he wanted to score, otherwise they'd just kick the FG on third down.

If you were going to go for the tie, why not kneel down and run the clock down to 2 seconds and kick the fg.

I’m more disturbed we kicked the ball in the end zone, after that, why not kick it in the field of play and run the clock down

Or kick it on third down in case something went wrong. The play design was as safe as it gets. If Pickens doesn't beat his man to the pylon it is an incomplete pass. Worst case scenario it becomes OPI and a longer kick. If Pickens beats his man to the pylon, which he did, it's about an easy of a TD as it gets.

“We called a quick out. I probably over-coached Dak on that one. Because we had the points. I probably over-coached him on that. Because—with the time, no timeouts, it had to go to GP or throw it away.”
Schottenheimer.

Let me translate for you:
If Pickens is open, throw it to him. If he isn't, throw it away.”

 

[irishline]

If you were going to go for the tie, why not kneel down and run the clock down to 2 seconds and kick the fg.

Or not take the time out when they did and let the clock run down to 2 seconds first. Then kick the FG on 3rd down.

I'm gonna say this right here-and-now <CRUNCH!>. Seriously. Let's be completely honest here. This thread should be judged as an absolute failure <CHOMP!> if no one posts that <MUNCH!> Jesse Holley is a <SMACK!> Romofanatic.

 

[Cmac]

He's right.

Is this really suggesting Dak should become one of Schotty's BFF? Makes no sense, given we've seen bonehead plays from both.

 

[Ranching]

He's right.

I said the same thing yesterday....you didn't even give me a like. HATER!!

 

[McKDaddy]

That is why his rah rah talk rubs me the wrong way. Sad thing is, the first part of last season & early this season, he's playing the best he's ever played and it's still not good enough to even get legit attempts to score to win the game.

No pressure on him. Nobody expects the Cowboys to do anything when the defense is that bad. The moment a little pressure happens he folds.

 

[Loso86]

He's right.

Gotta stick with the script

 

[zrinkill]

Same thing I thought

Now Romo also might have thrown an interception or taken a sack and fumbled the ball

They both have their weaknesses.

 

[Havic]

Romo is forcing that play to win is all I’m saying

Exactly. I'd have more respect for him if he at least went down swinging instead of laying down with a whimper.

 

[Risen Star]

Of course the nugget in there is Garrett wanted to go conservative in that OT 49ers game and Romo wasn't having it.
