Tony Romo's struggles

Everybody's favorite quarterback, Tony Romo, looked good in the preseason opener at San Diego.


But he hasn't thrown the deep ball well in practice the last few days. During one 11-on-11 drill, Romo was high on a long pass to Terrell Owens and over threw one to MIles Austin and to Owens.


Now, this is not to say we should be worried about Romo. We shouldn't because he's expected to have a strong season.



But, he played one possession last Saturday and might see two maybe three possessions this week at Denver. The team wants to give Brad Johnson some snaps with the first team offensive line. That's fine. We respect that because Johnson needs the work.


Romo is important to this offense too. It was good to see him complete a 2-minute drive at the end of practice on Thursday.


During that 2-minute drill, he had a pass deflected at the line of scrimmage, that turned into a catch by Sam Hurd, misfired on that long pass to Owens in the end zone, while overlooking a wide open Patrick Crayton in the middle of the field. It looked like Romo took a sack as well with 38 seconds to play. The Broncos was complaining about it.


Romo did find Jason Witten with a nice pass in the middle of the field, then snuck into the end zone for the score. Romo spiked the ball after the drill was over.


Good for him. But it will be interesting to see how Romo plays Saturday night.

Romo is ready for camp to be over, I can tell by his interviews. I think he only cares about the games...

 

[masomenos]

Romo is important to this offense too.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

This just in, Demarcus Ware has an impact on defense.

 

[EGTuna]

Well considering Jason Campbell is All-Pro in practice per Peter King and The Washington Post, we should all be very, very worried.


Only, not so much.

there's not much to knock about Tony's play, but these miscues get under my skin sometimes, he'll focus on TO and forget to scan the field, and will miss a wide-open Hurd streaking down the field, or in this instance, Crayton

:laugh1: Good old Calvin.

Should have started yesterday.

After his performance in the playoffs, I would be hesitant as well to throw the ball to Crayton.

Come one everyone knows that Romo is a clone of Chuck Norris.:

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Seems like Romo has been off since landing in Denver. You never want to read about your QB stinking it up, hopefully he looks sharp tomorrow.

It's the mile high air.

Romo must have never played in Colorado before.
