Ed Werder say Romo may miss a game or two

[rcaldw]

Romo being out until after the Bye week isn't a bad thing. Let Weeden play and have Linehan work on beating the blitz while Romo is out.

Read Broadus on beating the blitz. It wasn't all scheme. Some of it was on #9

Is Patrick Peterson playing? He got banged up in the Eagles game.

The way Peterson has been playing, it may be a good thing if he does play.

Sure it was but the coaches didn't help. Reel hi arse in if you have to. They just don't do it.

One thing for sure when Romo hangs it up he's gonna have one gimpy*** post football life.

Not to mention the COWBOYS FUTURE! I know it doesnt sit well with others but this owner better start to address his replacement soon. And no i am not a ROMO hater i just wish we someone who is starting to be groomed.

Yeah, it's a false sense of security I think. We see our OL so dominant in the run game and we see Tony playing well against teams who have to account for a balanced offense and it's easy to fool yourself. I said this last year and earlier in the season. Tony's health is not going to get better. It's going to steadily get worse. Is that something that prevents us from winning? Not at all. All you need do is watch Elway and Denver in the 90s. Elway was not nearly the QB, physically, he was earlier in his career during Denver's run in the 90s but they won. They won because Shannahan and that staff managed the game for Elway. They used a dominating running attack, good defense and much more field position type game plan to win games. They limited Elway and used him when it was to the advantage of the Offense and Elway.

Tony is only going to get worse, over time. We can augment that by being smarter in how we use him and what we ask him to do but there is no question, we will need another QB option sooner rather then later. We, IMO, would be wise to take a good one when the opportunity presents itself IMO. This game is about the game, it's not about a player. The game lasts, the players come and go. Every player knows this. If a player doesn't understand this, then they are not paying attention. We should not be fearful of taking a good QB if the opportunity presents itself IMO.

If he can play vs Arizona, go for it. Let him rest vs JAX. That would give him two weeks to heal.

I'm more worried about his mind set though. On the last play did y'all see where he was ducking a blitzer that wasnt there?

If Weeden does start I'm confident in his ability to move the offense.

Either way blockers need to make adjustments and receivers need to create more separation no matter who ends up under the snap.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Wow this is not good. We need to win at least one of these 2 games before the bye. If we lose both that'll probably knock us out of playoff contention. Come on weeden!

He did try to escape before the pocket truly collapse....

yeh, on him and the coaches... didn't shift protection properly (needed some max also of course)... and we continuously guessed wrong.... only 1 sack came from the d line... the other 4 were from safety, or lb position.

we will beat the jags... worst cast going into turkey day... at least imo..... 7-3..... far cry from 9-1

 

[cowboys1981]

Yeah, and he probably thought it was going to collapse sooner than it did. I love how he can evade these type of rushes though.

We'll know how his back is when he does his spin around. Lol

You all do realize that they always use Werder to report bad stuff.

Like when Murray tweaked his ankle a week ago on that big run, he immediately took to Twitter and posted as if it were fact that "Murray injures high ankle on run. Not good for cowboys" or something stupid.

When I called him out via Twitter, he said "autocorrect on these phones - should've said his ankle not high ankle."

Now you all look at your keyboards and tell me where the "S" key is and where the "G" and "H" keys are.

 

[casmith07]

Confidence schmonfidence he's still Brandon Weeden.

Exactly, lol.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I think we can beat the jags without him. We would need to win at least 3 out of the last 6 to have a chance. Its a tough last 6 games thats for sure! I dont know if 10-6 will be enough just have to wait and see.

If Romo can't play that will actually FORCE the stupid coaches to go back to the RUN which is what we should and must do REGARDLESS of the who is the QB. However, our coaches OVER UTILIZE Romo way too often (past seasons) and forget the runs (except this year and the last game).

7-3 would suck!

i full expected 9-1 after beating the Giants.

after beating the seahawks, I said 8-2 should be the goal.

i wish we pulled that skins game out at the end so we could afford to sit Romo for a couple of weeks.

 

[StylisticS]

Is there any consideration being given to move this to a 3 p.m./4 p.m. start time? It's the premier matchup of the week.

God I hope not.

According to a tweet from Bryan Broaddus
Bryan Broaddus@BryanBroaddus
“@TechTina02: @BryanBroaddus anything on Romo?? Ed Werder says he's hearing whispers that he's out for a game or two” Ed has good sources

Yes, it is better to act on the side of caution, let Romo rest till after the bye week. Romo should have never gone back in the game Monday night.

I was one of the guys in the game day thread wanting Romo to come back in, until I saw him negotiating with the Doctors. If you have to do that, you're not well. Then when he came in, he continued to take hits, it's just irresponsible of the staff to do that to any person.
I really wish we had looked at the back up QB position, it's too important especially when your starter has a really bad back situation. As for Weeden, he will be game-planned for if he has to go, then we get to see what he's all about.

If he has to go, just go with the play that's called. Don't change up too much, and locate your target and get the ball out fast. That's my non professional advice for this young man.
