Romo, T.O. made Garrett look like gutsy genius

September 20, 2007

Rookie offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has rightfully been lavished with praise for his play-calling. His calculated aggressiveness is a major reason the Cowboys lead the league in scoring (41 ppg).

A bunch of highlight show analysts gave Garrett props for going for the kill against the Dolphins. Man, it took guts to go deep to T.O. on fourth down.

But Garrett didn't call the route that resulted in T.O.'s touchdown. The play was designed for T.O. to run a chain-moving, intermediate crossing route. What unfolded was pure improv by Tony Romo and T.O.

Romo saw the Miami cornerback sitting on the crossing route with no safety over the top and lofted the ball downfield, trusting T.O. to make the same read and the same instinctive adjustment. Next thing you knew, T.O. was mocking Spygate behind the goal post.

"It was just that communication and that chemistry that you guys have been talking about between me and Tony," T.O. said. "That was just a taste and a touch of what can go on throughout the season."

I don't care who gets credited for what. As long as we keep out scoring the other team.

Now that makes me happy. This is a lesson to all those defensive coordinators out there, don't ever put your DB to cover TO with out a safety over top, or these 2 will see it, attack it, and leave you in tears.

More than chemistry, how funny is it that Tony RomO begins and ends with T.O.

Plus, Romo and T.O. rhyme, .. these guys were made for each other.

Stupid stuff, .. but fun.

I thought he said density?

 

[bobtheflob]

And that's without even playing a full season's worth of games together yet.

TO has really become the model citizen this year. I am glad we ditched the conservative approach. This team can score a bunch of points.

Ya Can't Spell Tony Romo without a T.O.

Actually Garrett should also get some credit. After all, he sent in the pass play he wanted on 4th & 4. It's just that TO & TR saw something and possibly came up with a different option if the Dolphins secondary covered same as before on this play. It also showed the trust between TR & TO which should get even better as the season moves along.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

good to know......so ROMO is the reason

Its scary to think that this offense can get better, but youre right, time in the system will bring to the surface those unspoken audibles and reads...
