Tony Romo loves Cowboys' defense, predicts 2018 record in interview

[waving monkey]

Tony Romo will always be a member of the Dallas Cowboys family, despite him entering his second season in the booth with CBS Sports. His reputation as a broadcaster has grown exponentially from the thought he might be good at it, to confirmation once he started predicting plays based on offensive and defensive formations. No broadcaster was doing that before Romo put on the microphone.

His reputation as a clairvoyant led USA Today Sports Pulse to ask him to predict a few things about the 2018. Once the conversation turned to the Cowboys upcoming season, here’s what the franchise’s all-time passing leader had to say.

10-6?

After all the gloom and doom posts I've read the last 4 weeks I would have guessed 6-10 at best.

The season comes down to health on offense. If Dak, Zeke, any starting OL go down— we are compromised in a really significant way.

The defense does look promising— but we have not been “dominant” on that side of the ball in a really long time.

If the D plays to it’s ceiling— and our offense stays healthy— we could indeed hit double digit wins. This team is set up to peak late. If we are 7-5 or better as we head into Dec— we can hit the stretch run playing our best ball and head into the playoff as a very hot team.

I'm happy that Romo is enjoying so much success away from football and glad he got to walk away from it all before it took some serious toll on his health.

Possibly the best pair of defensive ends the team has ever had. Possibly.

We will be in that 9-7 to 11-5 range

I have 0 faith that the coaching staff knows how to utilize said guys and more importantly has the imagination needed to use said talent.

10-6 ??? You're dead to me Tony. You hear me, dead

 

[Aviano90]

No SB prediction? He must be a hater.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

10-6 is generous, I'm thinking we go 8-8.

Tony Romo...?

You mean the same guy who, when he played, predicted a Cowboys’ SB title every preseason??!?

Poor Tony, this defense is better than nearly every one he had, except possibly 2007.

If the defense finishes top 10 in most things, we'll be better than 10-6. Easily.

10-6?

I’m calling for 10-6 as well but like Romo im counting on the defense.

Sounds about right. In so many ways.

Romo built the careers of clappers r us.

10-6?

I'm a 10-6 guy hoping for 13-3.

Rod has gotten mediocre DE's to perform since he has gotten here. He is respected around the league for coaching the dline.
