I don't know if it's possible to accomplish, but if Garrett is as smart as his Ivy League education he needs to change his offense this week, and start coaching more than ever Romo.
Last year the Giants, and Eli changed what they were doing. Once they got to the playoffs they went to the dink and dunk approach. Most importantly to help Eli, who had I believe had 20 picks for the season. Gilbride did one of the best coaching jobs I've seen in years. He simplified the offense, throwing high percentage passes, and took his chances on safe play action passes. It led to no turnovers and a SB MVP for Eli.
The problem with all of this is I think Garrett, and for that matter Romo are too proud to try this. If we are to have any chance to reach the SB he MUST try this, or something. The key to surviving in the playoffs is no turnovers. I'm just not sure it's too late, or if they have even thought about it.
First of all you would have to reel in Romo...that's going to be tricky. The first chance he see's that deep fly route he's going to want to sail it....instead of taking the safe, high percentage pass to Choice, or Crayton for 7 yds. If he and Wilson are going to earn there paychecks it's going to be this week.
It would be great for our offensive line also. If you think Jim Johnson is not going to dial up the blitz this go around you're nuts.
I see this as the only way we are going to get to the SB. What we are doing is not working and if the coaching staff is not smart enough to figure it out then they shouldn't be in the profession. Wade started coaching....now it's Garrett's turn. I won't be happy with just the playoffs. The team shouldn't either. They deserve it, and we the fans deserve it!
