Garrett Throws Romo under the bus

[khiladi]

Jason Garrett, in no way whatsoever, was responsible for Tony Romo's most spectacular performance as a QB. This was just one of those days that Denver got the ball back at the right time and Jason Garrett couldn't manage 3 TOs to save his life.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

No he did not thow him under the bus.

How's that Michael Vick working our for you, Phildadon?

IF one claims Murray was the check-down, this implies he was last among the progressions.
The fact that he claims Romo should have gone checkdown just shows how utterly dumb or out of touch he is.

Romo had to throw quickly because of context and he had no idea Leary was coming of nowhere to take the DL out at the last second. He also stepped on Smith's foot. Garrett should have smply said Romo rushed the throw because pressure.

"Tony Romo's interception heard around the world never should have been thrown, according to Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garett Speaking to reporters Monday, Garrett said Romo should have checked the ball down to running back Demarco Murray rather than try to squeeze it to tight end Gavin Escobar. After the game, which can be seen again at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday on NFL Network, Romo said he didn't put the ball where he wanted. But Garrett is right that the decision, not the accuracy, was the bigger problem. Of course, the defense was by far biggest issue on a day when the Cowboys gave up 51 points. Romo played fantastic overall although you wouldn't know it reading articles after the game"


LOL, Heres a clue sherlock. RUN THE BALL on first and 10? I cant believe this guy has the audacity to call out Romo. Am i the only one who believes we shouldnt have even been throwing in that situation?

He's not the play caller!

So Garrett was calling the plays this weekend? You guys will stoop to any level to attack Garrett. lol

If you don't like the play being called, as a head coach it is your job to adjust it. Especially an offensive minded head coach.

 

[Cebrin]

yep and it was costly. Agenda know no bounds. lol

No agenda against Romo on my side. Maybe Garrett lol. I've never liked him and until he proves me otherwise, he'll always just be a 3rd string QB playing Madden with my favorite franchise.

True and there was nothing wrong with the call. Saying Dallas could have ran another play sure they could have and if they failed people would question why did you get away from what you were doing with great success. It is always easy after the fact to claim what you would have done. As I mentioned before had Dallas ran the ball I would not have said it was a bad call even if the RB gets stuffed or fumbled nor would I say going with what has been working all day is a wrong call they both came down to player execution and on the int there were critical mistakes made in execution that ended up hurting the Cowboys.

Escobar was open. The throw had no zip - The decision was not bad, the throw ended up being bad for the reasons we have all seen.

I am glad Romo did not look for the checkdowns all day when his WR's had a step!

 

[Cebrin]

Suicide for a guy on the verge of breaking a 61 yo passing record and threw for 5 tds? This isnt Blaine Gabbert we're talking about.

Suicide for anyone. I don't care how good you're playing. As a coach, you take what the defense gives you. Especially when the game is on the line.

That fine, It does not bother me in the least if a fan likes or dislike Garrett. As I have said many times around here I would give any HC 3 full season to do the job be it Garrett or someone else. Right now Garrett is in his 3rd full season as HC and if they fail to make the post season then he will deserve to be fired. However I will not play this game of dumping on anyone unless I see just reason to do so.

 

[Cebrin]

He's not the play caller!

He's the HEAD COACH! The final word sir. Yes, he could have went against that decision.

and the play to escobar was there for the taking. It was not triple coverage it was not double coverage he had the LB beat on the play so I don't see this as a mistake. Could he have checked off? sure but let me ask if Dez was open on the outside would you throw it to him or do you just get away completely from what you have done all day long?

Well, when the season is over, I'll have a seat waiting for you.

I'm not going to turn into a hater, I will always support the Cowboys but I would not have an issue with Jason getting fired. I will not be one of those who constantly cry about things it is not me. I'm a grown man not some spoiled little brat who thinks he can run a football team.

It shouldn't have been 2nd and 16 in the first place. It should have been 2nd and short with a run play to keep the defense honest. They were in a prevent pass.

I don't agree with any of this post. I pretty much posted this earlier but our offense is flexible. Tony is not tied to any read progression. He has the autonomy to read the defense and determine where the ball should go. The defense was literally giving us the 8 to 10 yard completion with Murray and possibly more. Tony had time in the pocket. The pressure was not immediate and he could have checked to see if the long ball was there and still come back to the check down easily. Garrett knows his own offense. It's unrealistic for me to believe that he doesn't understand.

May we all be humble, perfectly opinionated and Jesus like such as yourself. There was no need for the personal poke at my character there. I am a grown man as well. I don't take cheap shops with a keyboard at a stranger on the internet. I wouldn't call that being a man at all.

We've seen Garrett's track record with this offense in it's 'successful' second and third and long check-downs...
