Did Romo Know It Was Fourth Down?
Posted by nickeatman at 10/5/2009 2:53 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com
[FONT=verdana,geneva]As if things weren’t already bad enough surrounding the Cowboys quarterback, who obviously struggled in Denver Sunday.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]But now the question has surfaced if Romo even knew his final pass to Sam Hurd Sunday was actually a fourth-down throw? Because of the short throw to Crayton on first down, and then the spike to stop the clock on second, Romo had just two more chances to fire the ball into the end zone.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]The question is did he know that? After his fourth-down toss, Romo didn’t immediately leave the field and in fact, he was telling his teammates to huddle up. He then pointed to the officials for clarification. It was probably then that he realized the series was over. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]Now, Wade Phillips denied that Romo didn’t know it was fourth down. And since the quarterback didn’t talk to the media today, that question likely won’t be answered.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]But standing down there on the sidelines for the final two minutes, and with that possession occurring right in front of me, I did notice the offense staying on the field longer than usual on a change of possession. For a moment, it looked like there was a flag because they were waiting for answer. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]So, it’s unclear if that’s exactly what happened with Romo. If so, it would likely be yet another thing the quarterback will have to deal with this week. [/FONT]

this is not my thought but when i read it i figured i would throw it out here
and see if anybody here thought Romo might not have known it was 4th down.
for what its worth I hated the spiking the ball and wasting a shot at the end zone.
