News: Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo hitting the weight room hard

[DakotaReign]

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

If Romo won a couple super bowls, NOONE would care about what he looked like.

Tony eats chicken strips and lays chips.

Romo's "cultivating mass."

Romo's "cultivating mass."

It's time to harvest !

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

Some just can't help themselves.

This is my one gripe with Tony over the years...

Tony for all of his natural athleticism never entirely dedicated himself in the offseason to a level of physical condition that would match his ability as a QB.

Now that Dak is under center, he is being shown that there is another option and that time is very short if not entirely run out if you want to take a serious run at a World Championship.

Would better off-season conditioning have made a difference? We will probably never know. But I always felt that Romo was no worse than equal to Drew Brees, and yet Brees will be a 1st ballot HOF'er.

I feel Romo should have had an equal legacy in the game, but his lack of conditioning made him more susceptible to injury than Brees has proven to be and now when the team is clearly ready to win big- he can't go.

Look at the body of the super bowl winning QB's and maybe the key to winning the big game is DadBod? More dadbods with rings than guys who grace the cover of men's fitness.
Btw..Tim Tebow is jacked...

 

[Redball Express]

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.

Never heard that analogy before..

Where are you from?

Interesting comment you had there.

"Straining at gnats..." is from the Bible (I'm pretty sure).

 

[manster4ever]

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.

LOL...I agree. Keep pumping iron Tony. You can come back and (maybe) back up Dak toward December.

there's always an back alley to take if you look for one.

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.”...

That's a positive. At least he ain't hitting the bottle of Jim Beam really hard!!!

Looking forward to Romo starting again so he can shut up all the haters.

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.

 

[muck4doo]

Still don't care......

Looking forward to Romo starting again so he can shut up all the haters.

By haters you mean the Cowboy fans who are happy we are 5-1?

Appears he's increased his body fat by at least 15% from this picture.

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...

I hate to ruin the story but Tom Brady was not even the 2nd string QB when Bledsoe went down, if truth is required. It makes for a better story that Bill knew what he had, it was very similar to what happened here in Dallas, a matryoshka doll that turned out to be magical. Will Jerry get the same accolades as Bill B for taking Dak, I doubt it will happen. Bill B is a great coach but the Tom Brady part fell into his lap, he has plenty of other talents to praise.
