AUDIO: Brad Sham calls Marty B out

[theogt]

Other than parts of the Denver game, Romo has pretty much had all day to throw every week.

Short routes are pretty much all we've been running all year.

It pays to actually pay attention to stuff.

I disagree with both respects (1) that Romo has pretty much had all day and (2) that we've only been running short routes.

The latter I can prove with statistics.

This ought to be interesting, fire away the statistics. You can't take what Austin did into the completion avg. He broke those for long plays. I say, compared to last year, Romo has been throwing lot more shorter throws. Not sure mostly running short routes but they have been more shorter throws than I remember since Romo came to be a starter.

Second, Romo did have all day to throw till Denver Game quite a bit. Denver, at least 3 of the 5 sacks were because Romo became Bledesoe.Against cheifs protection was not great. Flozell pretty much sucked I think chiefs game.

Maybe the reason Romo doesnt throw to Bennett is because Romo has to tell him where to line up every freaking down.

If the guy doesnt even know where to line up, are you going to be confident he is going to run the correct route???

I dont blame Romo, I wouldnt throw the ball to that scrub either!!!

 

[Beast_from_East]

Martellus is really failing it up. He's about 5 miles away from steering into Bust Avenue..

Agreed, he is looking like another 2nd round bust.

 

[THUMPER]

Garrett sucks but Wade sucks harder. Wade's new name is Hoover.

I'd go with Kirby instead, they are guaranteed to suck for life!

 

[ScipioCowboy]

How can anyone honestly blame Garrett? The Cowboys boast the number one offense in the NFL, and normally move the ball with ease -- often in spite of their offensive players. The Cowboys would score more points if not for penalties, field position, turnovers, and execution errors -- none of which are Garrett's fault.

You can look at the percentage of Romo's throws that have gone in the air for over 20 yards. His percentage matches that of other top QBs.

Don't have time to post the stats right now.

Try to prove on then, because it isnt true. Almost all our completions have been short to intermediate routes, they even commented on it during the game the other day. Same goes for the incompletions.

Scroll down to "BY PASS PLAY." Compare his 20+ yard throws to other QBs. He hasn't completed a lot of them, so it appears that he's not throwing a lot of them. It's just a matter of perception.

I'd like to see that, because I havent seen it during games.

The vast majority of the completions are shorter routes, and most of the long gains have been short to intermediate routes turned into long gains with YAC.

Like I said in another post, Buck and Aikman even mentioned this during the game the other day.

I'll take a look at some other teams then, because according to this he is 1 of 11 on passes thrown over 21 yds. That comes out to basically two attempts a game, which seems like a small amount.

So what did Brad Sham say about Martellus Bennett or is this a false alarm.

I posted the numbers for several other QBs in another thread.

Romo's right in line with the other top QBs, at least in terms of ATTEMPTS. His completion percentage on those long passes is pretty bad.

So what did Brad Sham say about Martellus Bennett or is this a false alarm.

I heard him say in the pregame or during the game that Marty B's study habits had fallen off and he needed to get in his playbook.

We have the #1 offense in the league, Clowns. Someone has to get credit for that.

This board is unreal.

"Waaaah Romo!"

Then after Romo has a great game...

"Waaaah Garrett!"

He was the guy that championed Brad Johnson as a backup

He was the guy that went an entire game without giving Felix Jones a carry

He was the guy that continued to go with Marion Barber, instead of Tashard Choice, the obvious hot hand

He is the one that devises game plans where you attack Pro Bowl corners each and every chance you get

He is the one that throws consecutive lobs to Martellus Bennett when it is completely unnecessary

He is the one that needed 5 games into the 2009 Season to see just what Miles Austin brings to the table

Jason Garrett has been atrocious and has benefited from 3 teams on the Schedule that are combined 1-14.

Folks need to use what they see on the field as a gauge, rather than looking at stat sheets

The Cowboys had the number 1 defense in 2003 and I don't think anyone on this board at the time really bought into it

That's who I am giving credit too.

We beat the 0-5 Chiefs in overtime. Whoopieeeeeeeeee. Definitely something to hang your hat on...

Here's what I found-

Romo was 1 of 11 on passes over 21yds.

P Manning 7 of 20

A Rodgers 7 of 22 (only 4 games)

M Ryan 3 of 7 (4 games)

Flacco 6 of 17

Palmer 1 of 10

Brady 2 of 13

E Manning 7 of 12

Brees 8 of 16 (4 games)

Rivers 9 of 22 (4 games)

Roesthlisberger 7 of 15

Cutler 4 of 14 (4 games)

Dont have time to do every team, but it would appear from this that as I thought, we arnt attempting many balls down the field. At best he's in the middle of the pack and most likely down toeards the bottom.

I posted it in this thread, and he's definitely not at the top. His attempts on passes of 21+ yds were lower than most of the other QB's, and alot of those only had 4 games.
