DFW: Gosselin: The more Tony Romo throws, the less I like the Cowboys

[percyhoward]

We have been throwing it too much in the red zone recently, although Gosselin is just parroting what he's heard in a very general way, and wouldn't recognize a football trend if it fell into his latte and lodged in the whipped cream.

Nice pic of Dez.

Amazing stats, right up there with the "Cowboys are undefeated when Murray gets 20+ carries".

Well yeah, when you have a lead you typically run the ball to milk clock.

Last week Dallas was down by 4 points and then proceed to pass 19 straight times....you're not down by two scores, you still need to run the ball down by four......in two games Dallas is throwing 71% of the time, you're not going to win doing that.....

True. But again. Down 4 in the 4th and getting no yards running so you're in 2nd and 10 and 3rd and 8 doesn't help.

Both things are needed - run well and run more - they go hand in hand.

and with 71% passing, I believe Romo is either third or fourth in the league throwing under 5 yard passes...so you have a team that doesn't run and when it does pass, it's throwing a ridiculous number of sub 5 yard passes...I never understood why everyone loved the Callahan signing and given the play calling duties, the Jets couldn't wait to get rid of him..

I hear ya, but even the cowboys beat writers are tired of writing the same thing over and over for last 5-6 years....Romo turnover's lose games and the team needs to run the ball more.....nothing has changed with the Cowboys....... so the story stays the same.....

Story needs to be about how these ole veterans are losing out to the young guns....love watching these young guys play.... Dunbar, Wilcox, Hollowman, Selvie, Hayden, Leary, Fred and smith..... Cant wait to see Randle and Beasley get some game time

I agree. There's no reason we can't have more personal stories and they don't have to be just feel good stories.

So if we direct snap to Murray on every play we are guaranteed a win. 20 plus carries and no Romo turnovers. The stats say so.

If our season was doomed and we were say 1-10, I wouldn't mind watching a game where that's what they did just to see what would happen lol.

Jmo this team needs to bring back the lead draw play.

Great point.

Gosselin is just reflection of whats happening. When they were good...he said good things. When bad..he says that also. I may not agree with every article he writes but I will give him credit for not waving on his opinions based on fan sentiment.

Rick Gosselin: The more Tony Romo throws, the less I like this team. I had a stat last week, every time he throws for over 40 passes in his career, he's 8-16.

Every time he turns the ball over, they lose. I think their 7-16 in the last 23 games he's committed a turnover. You gotta run the ball. I didn't like the offensive line from the start.

I thought Tyron Smith is a great starting point; I think Frederick is an addition. But I think they need to replace the other three guys and I'm not talking about Brian Waters.

There is not commitment to the running game.

This man is a professional writer? There is so much wrong here.
