ESPN: Romo demanding larger role in playcalling and gameplanning

[erod]

According to Ed Werder today on ESPN radio, during negotiations Romo insisted on having a more significant say in offensive gameplanning, including playcalling, especially as it relates to running more no-huddle at certain times during games.

He also said the additional involvement lately was purely the demand of Romo, not Jerry or Garrett.

There has been apparently a mild rift between coach and quarterback over this for some time.

Great news. I've always felt as though Romo has a better idea of running the offense than JG.

LOL weve been saying this forever on here. Garrett is a stubborn mule.

Garrett operates under Jimmy Johnson school of thought. Did Aikman have autonomy over Norv Turner and Jimmy late in games? I don't remember.

Something tells me this Werder-bait is going to make for a long thread.

Running more no-huddle (which has been so successful) and getting to help game plan on Tuesdays is "autonomy"?

Keep defending our spare coach and putting down Romo...

Great to hear. It's no secret that we're at our best in the no-huddle.

If the OL actually steps up and plays at a high level this year, I'm all for running a conventional offense until we "need" to go no-huddle. But if by Week 2 or 3 it looks like our OL will be an issue again, let's switch up the strategy to fit our personnel. No-huddle masks the shaky OL and allows Romo to be an instinctive playmaker, which is when he's at his best anyways.

So does this mean that we can go from 'Jerry needs to shut up' to 'Garret sucks so bad his QB needs to run the offense?'

I think my question was is that how aikman handled things during his years. I honestly dont remember and for all I know Aikman might have had alot of control. That might factor into how Jason sees QB running things.

 

[SDCowboy]

Great news. The less say Garrett has in play calling, the better, IMO.

haha I think we've transitioned.

I don't see why we can't say both at the same time :laugh2:

Romo definitely wanted more input into the offense and hurry-up no huddle. Garrett apparently resisted the increased involvement of Romo because he wanted to call the plays and going no huddles would mean Romo would call the plays. Garrett wanted to keep his control at all costs...

Garrett still thinks it's 1993. It's about time Tony demanded some change.

 

[zrinkill]

This is imposibble ...... I heard from my expert in Lufkin Texas that Jerry is forcing Romo to take more responsibility.

Romo demanded more input as part of the salary negotiations. I think Jerry gave in and this probably puts Garrett in his place...IMVHO

Those are not mutually exclusive

This really isn't news.. while folks were bashing Jerry for talking about the Peyton Manning time, it was in the meat of the article about Romo's role growing.

But I guess the changeup is that Romo demanded it instead of teh team demanding it of him.

*shrug*

Yup and I'm glad Romo did this. He knows it's now or never and his time is running out...

 

[Vintage]

This is obviously a lie.

I have heard numerous people say Romo isn't a leader.
