Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo hitting the weight room hard

http://thelandryhat.com/2016/10/29/dallas-cowboys-tony-romo-hitting-weight-room-hard/



Following yet another injury, Dallas Cowboys veteran quarterback Tony Romo has been hitting the weight room hard according to one of his teammates.

As a 36-year old NFL quarterback, Tony Romo has learned the importance of keeping himself in top physical shape. While Romo attempts to stave off Father Time, the Dallas Cowboys veteran starter has extra motivation to do so as he’s suffered more than his fair share of injuries the past few seasons.

Although Romo has already been ruled out to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, for the first time this season he was a limited participant during Thursday’s practice session.

One Cowboys defender did have a little inside scoop about what Romo has been doing to get back onto the field. Apparently, he’s been bulking up.

“[Romo’s] been working hard in the weight room,” Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence told the Dallas Morning News’ Jon Matchoa. “I see him more in the weight room than the locker room. That;s a surprise, seeing a quarterback in the weight room. But I feel like he’s taking care of his body. He’s getting back in shape. I feel like he is going to be great.”...

This means he is not used to seeing him there much.
Tony needs time to get into better shape, he cant do it in a few weeks.

C'mon...he was complimenting the work.

Did he it himself hard in the foot with some weight or what ?

Its good to see Dak's presence rubbing off on Romo. Im sure he sees Dak walk around with the body of a professional athlete and realizes that his "Dad bod" is woefully inadequate for the challenges of the NFL.

Props to him for being humble enough to make changes this late in his career. Dak's always been a guy who strives to get better and better, and Romo can only benefit from his role modeling.

 

[noshame]

This time he's really ready. Honestly I'm not kidding this time, he's going to be great!

Sounds like a 36 year old desperately trying to get back what he once had. Good luck to him, meanwhile we'll just keep winning.

 

[Shinaoi]

He'll be rusty regardless.

About Tony Romo...

“He had a good day yesterday,” Garrett said before Friday’s practice. “He did more. He threw the individual stuff. He also threw the scout team 7-on-7, so that was positive for him. He also did rehab away from the team with our strength and conditioning guys and our trainers. So he’ll continue to work on that to get his conditioning right. Again, I thought it was a good step.”...

Mike Woicik is the Cowboys strength coach. He's been coaching in the NFL for 27 years and has six Super Bowl rings, including three from his tenure with Bill Belichick's Patriots. After all this time, he knows how players' minds work as well as how their muscles work...

The Dallas Cowboys have the best problem in the NFL: Two Pro Bowl-caliber quarterbacks on the same roster and only enough snaps for one of them.

As Tony Romo rounds into shape and the 2016 season rolls on, the debate about whether Romo or rookie Dak Prescott should be the Cowboys' starting QB is only going to intensify. You've heard all the points from both sides on FS1's "Undisputed," "Speak For Yourself" and "The Herd." But what you might not realize is how this little conundrum in Dallas reveals the wisdom that fills the halls of Jerry World.

It's a glaringly simple concept on the surface. As your franchise quarterback ages, you need to have his replacement waiting in the wings. All of the greatest franchises have followed that recipe. The New England Patriots might not have known what they had in Tom Brady, but when Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury, Bill Belichick had the team's future QB ready to go. When Brett Favre's career was starting to wind down, the Green Bay Packers prepared for transition at the game's most important position by drafting Aaron Rodgers. And when the Cowboys realized they needed to plan for the post-Romo era, they went out and found Dak.

This is how the smartest franchises operate — or you can watch a guy like Peyton Manning fade into obscurity without any real plan for the future. The Broncos of course drafted Lynch, a guy the Cowboys wanted, but Denver's contingency planning came a year too late. In 2016, the Broncos are having to get the job done with subpar quarterback play.

Truth be told, there's really only one downside to drafting your next QB too soon: the scenario we're seeing play out this season. When your veteran QB still has a lot of football left in him and your young signal-caller is ready to go right this minute, a quarterback controversy is inevitable. You know what, though? If I were an NFL GM, I'd be willing to pay that insignificant price for peace of mind moving forward. Frankly, we in the media probably make too much of in-season QB battles. The goal for any NFL coach is to put the best team on the field for 16 weeks of the regular season. Getting caught up in who is or isn't "your guy" merely detracts from that...

Yea, he's a brutal rook and without much experiences, like coming back from a whole shelf of injuries...

One could say this is getting the cart before the horse...

All the OP was, was a general indicator of how Tony Romo is coming along. Not the start gun for a ton of misused interjections that should go in the quarterback arena.

Some could still get around the straining of gnats while swallowing the camel on topics.

 

[DandyDon52]

C'mon...he was complimenting the work.

yes he was, like it was something he hadnt seen before.

Tony has been the "KING" here in dallas for what 10 years, he has taken it easy, and not worked as hard as he should have.
Had he had a Dak on the sideline years ago it would have made him work harder.
It is just human nature, no bash of Tony.

When your the king you take it easy.
Same thing probably with Rodgers right now.

That is why I respect Tom Brady, he is always pushing himself to not just get better but be the best he can be.
He has also been smarter about staying in great shape, and longevity over making a play.

No need to be defensive and ornery CC, im just remarking on the connection between Romo's new physical work ethic and where it came from. Obviously we didnt hear anything about this kind of intense dedication to weight room work after his previous injuries last year, or any of his injuries, really. What do you suggest is the catalyst for such a paradigm shift for Tony?

That's alright, I got the scent of all the misinformation in misapplications being bantered about in the wrong arena:

You did the rewrite for the history on Jerry, Jason, and didn't want to get cold on Tony as well...right?

Tony has never been given didley...for the record. He never gave up the work. He did tons on his own time as well...

The reigns will again be given to Tony Romo, but when he proves that he still is up to the task at hand. Not when he wins some kind of popularity contest.

 

[Shinaoi]

Yea, he's a brutal rook and without much experiences, like coming back from a whole shelf of injuries...

And he's been rusty coming back from each one. See the 49ers game.

well neither of us were there all these years, so we dont know, I am just speculating.
Just for perspective I have only liked 3 qb's the last 10 years.
1.Brady
2.Romo
3.Wilson

All 3 were low draft picks, or udfa, and all 3 did more than the experts thought they could.
Dak is now # 4 on that list.

And unlike others I have never said tony was done, fragile, too old, injury prone etc.
I just think this should be daks year, and then next year Tony could be # 1 again and I am ok with that.

Oh, I see that kind of target now...

This simply cant be the case.

If Dak is left to start this year, he's going to take us farther in the playoffs than Tony ever has.

The fan and media reaction will be far too strong if that happens.

That is your view...and that stands on merit of one's belief...

The strength of the situation is what is now present, not having to own up to who is best at filling current needs. The staff still has that fully in hand now...
