Romo Sneak Provides Last-Play Scare

[FONT=verdana,geneva]While the two-minute drills wasn't a strong suit for the Cowboys offense in Oxnard, the team showed improvement Thursday. The first unit punched in a touchdown with the imaginary clock running down against mostly Denver's second-team defense.[/FONT]

[FONT=verdana,geneva]With the clock running out [SIZE=-0]and the Cowboys out of timeouts at the one-yard line, quarterback Tony Romo began yelling, “clock it, clock it,” but instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock he ran in for a touchdown on a quarterback sneak, head first into the pile.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Man you suck for the title ellis

You had me thinking Romo suffered an injury!!

You fail at blogging, go home and cry

 

[Cbz40]

He did say "scare".......but that is just how fast an injury can occur.....A decent backup QB is a must.

 

[percyhoward]

But in practice? We're talking about practice?

We're talking about "competitor."

man,, this scared the jeppers out of me.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

what a waste of time

 

[sago1]

Just love Moxie. He wants to win even when it's a practice game against the Broncos 2nd team.

 

[Cbz40]

what a waste of time

You can say that again...

.....A decent backup QB is a must.

We already have a "Decent" backup QB.

 

[Cbz40]

We already have a "Decent" backup QB.

That's debatable.....We'll see. I thinking working with the first team WR's will help.

 

[Nav22]

When I saw the thread title, I figured Romo at LEAST got up slowly or slightly twisted his ankle or SOMETHING. This was indeed a waste of time.

I'm pretty sure that's what he was going for with that last line.

Getting my bagel out of the toaster oven this morning, I almost burned my fingers!!! Whew! Glad that didn't happen.



My wife needs to be getting my breakfast for me so that it doesn't happen again.

QB sneak in a scrimmage with another team? Not a good move.

 

[SkinsSuck09]

I love that he is all about just hanging out and having a good time! But the word "Scare" shouldnt have been in the title

 

[Ceasaleo88]

Isn't that the same move he pulled in the preseason game against Oakland a couple of years ago? He drives us down the field, fakes the spike, and scores the winning touchdown on a QB sneak. It was that game where he played almost the entire game I think.
