Twitter: Cowboys practice updates - 11/9/16

Determined to do what?

Get back to playing ball. What else?

That's what happens when you get older and have back problems. Disks shrink.

And with a compression fracture of the L1 vertebra there is a loss of height by definition.

 

[Clove]

Same height within inch or so. Though it's possible Romo has shrunk a little with all those back surgeries or doesn't stand up straight anymore. Both are listed at 6'2.

Dak has more body mass.


As for the Abs...Dez told who the missile was, didn't he? ;-)

I laugh at this because he's not like 72 or anything, he's only 36. I wonder about the sizing and weighting in the NFL. Would be nice if they would get it right.

Romo looks as in shape as I have seen him in several years .. When he plays (whether by decision or by injury) it is extremely important that he plays very well so we can fetch great value for him via trade. Sad to say as a huge Romo supporter.. but Dak's emergence is a dream scenario for Cowboys Nation

Tony Romo listed as a full participant today. Chaz Green & DeMarcus Lawrence limited. Roethlisberger full for PIT.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch

I do think Romo may not be at his rookie height anymore. But if they're side by side...not one slightly closer...AND both standing tall, Dak does still look at least slightly taller. No much though.

Not sure what you meant by Dak being " significantly thicker". Can't say I see that really.

No doubt that Dak is 23 and Romo is 36 though.

Dont hate on age! lol...George Foreman beat all the young chumps and got the national title in his 40's

I want to be the one to start the thread about butt fumble being cut.

 

[TonyS]

Determined to do what?

Win his first SB as starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys, of course!

 

[BAT]

Yeah dak is definitely closer to 6'3

Or Romo is closer to 6'0.

You are going to have to wait until the season ends, no way he gets cut before then

36 is old by NFL standards but I know what you mean. Seems so young for some of us older fans

 

[CowboysLegend365]

Dak does appear to have more muscle mass, especially in the calfs & arms.

Although both are listed at 225, there is NO WAY Dak is that. Was on sideline @ Washington and he looked closer to 235..(wanna say 240) to me. His legs are HUGE.

 

[SoBlue128]

I can't remember if it was the bengals or bears game but Romo and Dak were standing next to each other in pregame and through my binoculars Dak looked quite a bit bigger than Romo. He looked thicker and a inch or two taller. It could have been the angle but Dak looked pretty darn big.

 

[Clove]

I wonder if Dak had been listed at 6'3 would he have been drafted in the first or second round.

 

[dirtycallahan]

Dak is wearing a size 50 jersey, can't see Romo's size in any of the photos

Ok ill be the first to say it......"Dak looks fat!" Sorry I had too.

Maybe Tony just got out of bed right before his NFL measurement?

Height can vary significantly throughout the day, so unless they try to be consistent in that regard (and I doubt it) then that could explain why guys listed at the same height are different. I checked it once years ago. I was almost 3/4th of an inch taller right after getting out of bed vs. the end of the day, and I'm a couple of inches shorter than Dak or Tony normally.

it's just funny seeing two people who are listed at the same height and weight look completely different.
