Cowboys vs. Perceptions. (My take on Roy W & others)

[TD-33]

Good effort, and well thought out.

A couple points:

You mentioned Romo idolizes Brett Favre. This is a common misconception mostly driven by the media due to Romo's Wisconsin roots. Romo's favorite quarterback was Joe Montana. He even wore 16 in high school for that reason. You can read about that here: http://www.620wtmj.com/sports/45117582.html

Also, in the Giants game, the Cowboys played primarily man coverage and not a soft zone. This was regarded as a problem, especially with Scandrick in that game. This led to Wade Phillips remarking that it was probably a good idea to play more zone, as we did last year, rather than mostly man, which is what we had been doing the first two games.

Agreed and the "idolized Favre" thing is really irritating. I thought this was thoroughly squashed in 2007.

Good post overall...

I don't mean to be a hater, but I'll take it a little more seriously when it's not a plug for a diff. web site. Get to 100 posts and I'll read it a lot more carefully.

This was not intended to shill for another/my website, Future, I just thought if anyone liked this piece, they could go check out the two prior pieces. I will post all subsequent Cowboys-related items directly on/in the Zone.

Thanks,

Well Done! I particularly like the comments on Roy W. Fundamental things like blocking....and tackling seem underrated these days by some folks (and players).

Mmk, I didn't mean any offense. We'll just have to see if you stick around.

No offense taken, Future, just wanted to clarify my intent. I'll post again after the victory over the Broncos.

Take luck,

Interesting closing. But, I don't take luck....I make my own.
