DYAR and the Dallas receiving corps...2007-09

[CCBoy]

What he can not control are pass accuracy, if he is tightly covered and the ball is still thrown to him.



This is just BS. Tell me again how many drops Roy has been credited for. Show me the official stat. And while you are looking at these receptions to times targeted, look at the rest of the league. I posted this in the Roy flame thread. Tell me why ALL of our WRs are the lowest in the league. Only Witten has a good number.

When looking at these numbers lets also look at QB completion percentages. Romo is the 21st ranked QB.

So, with that being said, either ALL of our WRs suck or Romo is having a bad year. It's not just Roy.

The only variable that can't be answered by anyone on this board, try as they might, is are the WRs running the correct routes. If they aren't, then the bad completion percentage for Romo and the low RTT is clearly on them. If they are running the correct routes and making the correct reads, then the low numbers are on Romo. It's really that simple.

Now I don't have the direct quotes, but I know for a fact that earlier in the year Brian Broaddus (sp) clearly stated that Roy was running the correct routes and he was getting open. The interception Romo threw to Baily was on him as everyone said Austin ran the correct route. Coaches have said that Roy is running the correct routes and making terrific catches in practice.

Crayton has made a comment that Romo didn't know the plays last year. Comments have come out about Romo flipping receiver sets. TO called out Romo and Witten and Garrett about plays. Romo has been questioned about his practice habits and his training and conditioning.

Like I always say, when there's smoke there's fire, however small a fire it may be.

Romo's completion percentages have been in decline since 2006.

But, as I have said before, feel free to blame ALL the receivers and Bennett and the running backs for not being productive.

Or you could point to Romo and Garrett, who are the two who have the most direct impact on how successful or unsuccessful these other positions play.

I am going to soften my stance on Romo though. His first couple of years were extremely productive, even though he still did struggle against top defenses.

So I don't know if he is just struggling this year or if teams have just figured out how to play him and this offense. The inaccurate throws are completely on him. The decisions he makes with the ball are on him. What plays are called and getting the matchups they want are on Garrett.

This was a class post...thanks.

Good stuff guys. Romo has clearly been sucking it up the last two weeks for sure by eyeball. And the stats back it. What the problem is I have no idea. My guess is it is multifactorial with plenty of blame all around.

I don't know how to reconcile the year's worth of offense, which has been good at times, to the quarters, halfs, and entire games when it has stunk.

Teams just aren't as schizophrenic as this team appears to be at times. They generally either suck it up here and there with mostly good times or just suck it up. We're way too up and down. I just can't figure out why. I'm not certain its the same thing game to game or qtr to qtr.
