Game Film, Romo Quote

[JaiRiid]

I have two thoughts/questions about how teams will prepare for Romo now that he has a regular season game under his belt:

1. Someone on the radio/postgame, I believe, mentioned that teams are now getting more and more film of Romo in regular season games and in effect, could begin seeing more of his tendencies/weaknesses. It will be interesting to see how he can respond to defensive schemes or if those effects will be evident.

2. Romo was praising the O-line in the postgame interview and said he was able to go through his reads and often go back to an initial receiver. His following quote was (in essence), "If I'm able to do that in each game, we're going to be a dangerous offense." If the O-line continues to play like they did last night, that will surely help Romo play well, but if teams begin to blitz the inexperienced quarterback and/or the O-line isn't up to par, this might turn sour.

These next few weeks will be fun to watch...

On the flip side, Romo will grow as a starter and will get better timing with the first team receivers now that he's had more than just 3 days of practice with the first team.

I really liked Romo praising the Oline. As a QB, whether you like it or not, you're a leader by default. Praising the guys you need the most is never a bad idea. And he was free with the well-deserved praise.

Both you guys' points are valid. His chemistry with his recievers will grow as he plays more, yet at the same time, it'll be more difficult to do what he's been most successful at so far since teams will be able to gameplan aganist him better.

As a Skins fan, I gotta say I'm impressed by the kid and Parcell's decision to stick with him. I only wish Gibbs will let go of Brunell and do the same for Campbell....

the panthers blitzed alot last night.. 2 things to consider,,Romo has a very fast release,, hard to get back there in 2 seconds,, which makes blitzing virtually useless and 2, he can move out and run some,, so lets say you blitz up the middle, like Philly did,, he just rolls to either side, hits a safety TE with open feild.. takes like 3-4 seconds,, its hard to blitz and be effective when someone witha quick release.. that is why even though Marino was not mobile, teams couldn't blitz him alot,he got the ball out quick.

Speaking of tendencies, did anyone else notice that when he audibles, he tends to only make hand signals to one side of the field? It appears to me that he is signaling the primary receiver and neglecting to signal the backs and other receivers. Don't QBs usually signal both sides to avoid giving away the intended receiver? Note that I don't believe it cost him, but it could in the future.

Then again, it could all be decoy stuff.. llike P.Manning will do..

Romo will definitely have tougher games than he did yesterday and we have to be prepared for that.

But we have enough weapons that even with teams game planning for Romo we should still have success if our coaching staff can come up with a good game plan.

Interesting, that's someone I will definitely be watching for when I get it downloaded.

In the pre-season I mentioned my concern about teams learning about Romo as he played. But after watching him play, I'm not concerned about that anymore.

When you see the field like he does and you have the ability to release the ball as fast as he does, his success is not "smoke and mirrors" that will be exposed as he plays more games.

I watched the post game video of Michaels and Madden and with no qualifications you could tell Madden was very impressed. He said he wasn't sure about Romo before the game but that after seeing him play, (in the game he mentioned his vision, release, etc.), Romo was the real thing.

Anyone notice he wiggles his hips just before the snap?

Whatchu lookin' at the man's hips for?

Actually, yeah, I noticed it, especially on his run up the middle for the TD. He was just getting ready to take off. I thinks its more that he is planting his cleats, than he is wiggling his hips.

Does he make you giggle when he wiggles?

Just asking.

more Romo focus by opposing D means less cheating by the D.... instant better Time of Posession and better Running game. More TE action. BTW we have two VERY GOOD RBs and TEs.

next.

Hell they (other teams) have plenty of pre-season film on Romo. To me Romo didn't run last nights game any differently the preseason contests he was in.

The guy is very good and with the weapons on this team he'll continue to be very difficult to defend.

I don't know much about Campbell, but I have to say at 2-5 it's definitely time for him to give up on Brunell and look to the future. They need to know whether or not they have to draft another QB next year.

The league still hasn't come up with a defense against quick, smart decision making, good pocket presence and a fast, accurate release.

Ask Tom Brady.

Not annointing Romo to anything, but those seem to be his best qualities, and you can't blitz that to death because of the mobility and release, and you can't confuse him with coverages because of the smarts.

Here hoping he can reign in his weakness which is the impulse throws, and we see his potential.
