Former Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach spoke with KTCK-AM's Norm Hitzges this week, here are some of the highlights:
On if the Cowboys will beat the Eagles:
“If Tony (Romo) doesn’t play, I’m going to miss Tony. I’m glad we do have a good, veteran backup. I sure hope the season will end on a positive note. I’m pulling for the Cowboys, and I think we’re going to beat Philadelphia. It would be a great win. The Eagles played so well last week against Chicago. The league is matchups, and we have to get a strong effort on the defense, stop (LeSean) McCoy. We’ll still have some offensive weapons. I think the world of Tony Romo so I hope he plays, but it sure doesn’t look that way right now.”
On if Tom Landry allowed him to check out of plays:
“We had plays that we could audible and change at the line of scrimmage. There were y times where I actually changed receivers... I called the play in the Super Bowl to Butch Johnson, who was a great receiver. It was an in route. The play was set for the strong side. It was a 16 route to the strong side, and I told Butch to run a post because we had been watching film and saw their safety kind of hung in the middle when he had deep route responsibility. Butch said ‘no, I’m running an in route,’ and I said ‘no Butch, run a post,’ so he ran a post, and I saw the safety did not get back deep enough so I threw it, and he made a phenomenal catch.”
