News: Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo hitting the weight room hard

[65fastback2plus2]

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.

ya...thats why peyton, tom, eli, etc.'s "dad bod" really hurt their careers lol

 

[Idgit]

Yea. Only if Tony could build up his body like this guy.

Hey. This is a family site.

What I thought was interesting that Lawrence' quote made no bones about by the fact that he expected Tony to return to the starting lineup. This is a case of what fans want to happen and what the team is going to do being two very different things. Get ready for it.

I also think a lot of you guys are underestimating just what kind of competition Tony really is. Get ready for an Iron Man (Black Sabbath, not Tony Stark) kind of return to end the season. It's coming.

Dads bod...keep eating the cheese. Romo plays several sports. He has an indoor basketball court at his house. Has he ever been accused of being fat other than when they joked about his flak jacket one day at practice? Some people are so gullible.

 

[Romotil45]

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.

Have you seen Brady's muffin top ? That's funny. Brady's a competitor I'll give him that but he's no workout warrior. If Romo was in Brady's shoes Romos the goat. How Romo has been able to accomplish what he's accomplished despite Jerry and Garrett is beyond me.

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...

The Cowboy's got Dak in the 4th round. I think that Jerrah just got lucky like that blind pig that finally found a truffle.

lol, you trolls are always good for a laugh

 

[zrinkill]

Tony is in great shape ...... here he is getting worked on by Cowboys medical staff

Lol @ woefully inadequate. You guys crack me up sometimes.

 

[rynochop]

The Romo is fat troll posts should have to stop during the season

 

[risco]

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.

Exactly- I think Romo sees now that he has to take better care of those muscles in order to fully support the body.

 

[DallasDomination]

Good for Romo.. we need a solid backup just in case something happens to Dak.

 

[dragon_mikal]

You're right...an undrafted F/A became the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys by "taking it easy". Never mind that coaches and players that have worked with him have stated the exact opposite.

Nope. That lazy Tony Romo...if only he could emulate a rookie.

It's hard to believe some of the posters on this board can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Romo has pushed himself every off season mentally and physically to become a better QB. Always working on flaws. Always trying to improve. There is no question the dedication that man has towards pro football. Anyone who questions his work ethic in season or off season doesn't know what they are talking about.

That's an interesting group. Good to hear Tony and Zeke have a relationship off the field, too. Zeke's one of the few players I thought might be an issue with a QB change, since he's already a team leader by virtue of his draft position and early performance and he's never known anything different.

BTW, Tony looks like a rail there, by Tony standards.

Gabe will be in here soon enough to talk about How Tony is trying to create a wedge between Dak & Zeke.

Gabe falls into the category of 'will say whatever to get some attention.'

 

[Clove]

Wake up call.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I have no idea what Romo has done in the past to take care of his body and keep it in top condition.

My feeling is I am not alone here on this board.

 

[Zordon]

Yea. Only if Tony could build up his body like this guy.

different strokes for different folks. when you never miss a game in your career, you're allowed to do things a little differently.
