The Cowboys average 419.3 yards to rank second in the league in offense. They have scored 30 or more points three times, including a season-high 37 points against a good Atlanta team four days ago.

""I think this offense is starting to play some pretty good football,'' quarterback Tony Romo said. "I'm pretty excited about the path we've taken. I think we still have a long way to go. At the same point, I'm excited. I think you're seeing a little of it recently.

"We feel very confident we can do things that allow us to be a special unit or take that next step and be really elite. The only thing that really holds us back sometimes, we feel like, are the things we do ourselves. If we can take care of those, we feel we can do something special.''

What does he mean by special?

"I can't tell you,'' he said.

Quarterback Tony Romo was asked about the Cowboys confidence.

He said it really isn't much different than it was before the team beat Atlanta.

"We understand we're probably not as bad as you guys may have thought we were at certain points of the season,'' Romo said. "When they crown you champion in September and October, you're probably not that good, either. It happens every year.

"I said this to you guys a few weeks back. Go ahead and give the Super Bowl trophy to all those teams that are undefeated, because stuff changes throughout the year. There are a lot of different things that end up happening.

"We just have to keep improving, keep grinding and keep getting better and see where everyone is at the end.''

Nice, I like that.

I really like that statement. On the one hand, New Orleans has demonstrated that it owns the best offense in the league. In my opinion, it has already peaked.

That doesn't mean that it is any less formidable. It's a smooth running machine. They can score a lot of points in bunches quickly, but it is gotten as good as it's going to ever get this season. Opposing defensive coordinators can plan for the best that the Saints offense can throw at it and try countering every contingency. Their defenses may still come out on the losing side of the battle, but not without knowing the how's and the why's.

On the other hand, the Cowboys' offense is still improving. Not as fast as some fans would like, but it is still improving... and doing so solidly as the (already) number two overall offense. The actual numbers may not continue to rise much higher than they presently are, but the execution of the offense hasn't come close to hitting its ceiling yet. There's a lot to be excited about thinking what this offense can still do.

I thought Tony gave some great answers, I think he's focused.

Don't crown him before he does something special.

He knows how to talk special i give you that. But that again has never been his problem.

Brees is throwing the ball up into double coverage a lot. I mean a lot. He's not going to get away with that forever. His WRs are special IMO and help make him as much as the other way.

Romo 'pretty excited' about offense's path
October 29, 2009, 5:31 PM

By: Tim MacMahon


Tony Romo sees a lot of room for improvement in the Dallas Cowboys' offense. He also sees a lot of encouraging signs from a unit that ranks second in the league with 419.3 yards per game.

"I think this offense is starting to play some pretty good football," Romo said during his chat with the Valley Ranch media horde today. "I'm pretty excited about the path we're taking. I think we still have a long way to go. At the same time, I'm excited about where this unit and I am going, with the path that we're taking. I think you're seeing a little bit of it recently and hopefully we can continue to grow and get better from that."

Romo has had consecutive interception-free, 300-plus-yard passing games. Not coincidentally, Miles Austin has emerged as a premier playmaker in the last two games.

The Cowboys were counting on Roy Williams to be an elite receiver entering the season. Williams has made little impact since his 66-yard touchdown in the season opener, but Romo insists he still has confidence in Williams.

"I always am a firm believer that if a guy shows me on a consistent daily basis out here on the practice field that he can do, he's going to do it in the game," Romo said. "Sure, people are going to have games that aren't whatever they may feel up to their own standards, but that's each individual wanting to be competitive within himself.

"Roy works his butt off at practice. He comes out and he performs out there daily and I don't see any reason why he's not going to have a very successful rest of the season. I'm not going to shy away because he's shown me on a consistent daily basis that he does so many good things that it'll happen."

If Williams fulfills Valley Ranch expectations at some point and Austin keeps performing well, the possibilities for the Cowboys' passing game are practically limitless.

Great Post:starspin

Disagree completely.

He has one good receiver, and another potential budding star, but other than that the scheme makes those player what they are.

Sean Peytons offense always has someone open.

 

[Arch Stanton]

I thought Tony gave some great answers, I think he's focused.

Don't you go hopping back on the Romo bandwagon!

 

[Fletch]

Don't you go hopping back on the Romo bandwagon!

So true. Take off those damn rose-colored glasses. The "realists" are going to come in and have to set you straight.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Tony knows like no other QB that October Championships are futile.

He has 3.
