Dak had 1 great year of o line just as Romo did.
Zeke being out a third of the season and having Chaz Green on the o line which led to dak getting sacked 6 times already isn't an excuse for his play. Dak being sacked 10 times this year 3 games in isn't an excuse for his play, but it is for Romo?
All I hear is excuse after excuse after excuse for Romo and I hear all of the other cowboys get downgraded to prop him up. I thought Romo was the offensive genius who really called plays, so why does he need Linehan? Romo had a year of linehan and he went 12 and 4. Why didn't Romo win the superbowl with that super o line only a year removed from callahan and was BETTER than the one Dak walked into because it had Ron Leary? Romo didn't have Travis Frederick and Tyron Smith before we got Zack Martin? Callahan was actually coaching that O line, so why didn't Romo do better than 8 and 8. Please tell me how Romo was carrying Demarco Murray, prime Jason Witten, prime Dez Bryant, Martellus Bennett, Felix Jones
Dak had a year of Linehan and went 13 and 3. Would have been 14 and 2 if we would have taken that Philly game seriously. We were only a point or three away from winning those Giant games.
You are just throwing out names and hoping they stick. It’s Nonsense.
ROMO didn’t need Linehan, Romo needed Garrett out of his way. Romo wasn’t even allowed in game planning meetings when Garrett was OC and playcaller. That was forced by Jerry from on top when Romo got the new contract. That’s when even Wade Wilson said they would start seeing Romo’s input on offense and guess what, that’s when they started running the ball and drafting guys like Frederick for Romo, while Garrett thought they were going to draft Sharif Floyd.
That 13-3 season Dak had was when Free, Smith, Frederick, Leary all played together a minimum of theee years and Martin as well, who played with all of them for two. That is in no way comparable to the turnstyle Romo had. They also played one of the weakest schedules in the league and Dak looked like turd against the only legitimate defenses he played in the Vikings and Giants.
Whenever Zeke ran it was because Linehan called run. And when teams adjusted and Dak was given more responsibility, he looked like trash and the plays were dumbed down for him. And now that they have taken away Dak’s first read in Beasley, he looks straight garbage and Linehan can’t do anything about it.
So now Dak is in year 3 with Linehan and looks worse and worse every year and your going to sit here and tell me he’s look better under Garrett when Linehan even cut down on the 5-7 step drop for Dak, because he’s terrible at it and that’s was basically the bread and butter in Garrett’s Coryell.
Dak has never seen the trash that Romo did.. Teams played deep cover 2 against Romo and had no respect for the run when Garrett was an OC here. Ever defense is sitting on Dak and playing close to the line, because they aren’t in any way scared of him and they respect the run more than Dak’s arm.
Even when Romo came back against the Eagles, they dropped back after seeing his first throw, totally respecting his arm, while Dak without Zeke, they just came after him and Dak was like a typical deer in the headlights throwing wobblers that should have been picked off. That’s how much you know when you bring up the Eagles game.. Dak was absolute trash that game, looking like he does now regularly giving a glimpse of his future suckage..
For you to sit here and compare the two is a joke.
Dak got sacked 32 times last year and Romo saw higher than that regularly. And that’s what you Dak homers call as bad a line as Romo had.. Dak set records of futility that Dallas never saw in those conditions including going ten quarters without scoring, not being able to score against the third string Eagles defense and record pick 6s returned for touchdowns. Dak has had more time to hold the ball this year than pretty much any QB this season.
