A few tidbits from the Mac, Jurko and Harry show on ESPN radio in Chicago.

  • Mac, Jurko and Harry picking cowboys, bears, bears respectively.
  • Bears stopped the LT and LJ, but both runners had limited to no participation in training camp and preseason.
  • Romo can beat the bears by getting out of the pocket.
  • They don't think Romo has seen corners as good as the Bears corners yet.
  • Broken plays will beat the Bears with Romo's ability to get out of the pocket and slide around.
  • Cowboys have to force Grossman to beat them and not let Hester beat them.
  • Spent some time defending why everyone in Chicago dislikes Rex.
I think they mentioned Romo might be on for an interview later. I'll try and recap if I catch it.

They said the interview was from a few days ago, so not sure if it was already recapped the first go around -


Romo interview

Bears defense -
will be a good challege

Ton of weapons, but no Terry -
can't replace Terry, but we have other weapons. Just having fun and playing catch.

Adjustment to Wade -
been good. Bill was competitive every practice. That has carried over to practice this year.

Witten really that good or porduct of the system -
really that good. Happy to have him.

What was gained from watching for a few years. Rex not figuring it out -
game isn't rocket science. People like to talk about how tough it is. Either your good enough to pick out a guy to throw the ball to or not. (qualified this with that he wasn't talking about their guy)

If he has a bad game and people try to give him outs because he's young and playing against the bears D, would he say screw that -
At the end of the day, team is expecting him to play at a high level every week. Trys to minimize mistakes to give his team a best chance to win.

No deal yet. Surprised it didn't happen in the off season -
we've been talking. they wanted to see more. knows he's a younger guy and he has no problem with proving himself. sees it from their persective.

Corners on the Bears, Seen corners as good? -
Definitely talented. Gonna be a great test. Class of the NFC. We're making headway offensively. Gonna be a good game.

Something in the water in Dallas that makes the owners in Dallas crazy? What's relationship like with Jerry -
Good relationship with Jerry. Jerry wants to win and is willing to do what it takes. Always puts them in a position to be successful. Blessed to have him as an owner.

People coming up to him at baseball game in Chicago. Comfortable with fame? -
joked that fame not on the host's levels yet. Would be tough if he was an introvert and aloof, but he's outgoing and loves to talk football.

Ticket requests from friends for the game? -
had to turn the phone off because he was getting too many requests. but he'll call em all Monday and ask where they were and act like he had tickets for all of em.

Did Romo play any good CBs last year? Trying to remember how good CBs were for Colt, Bucs, Panthers, Eagles.
