I dont think the one hand that might have been able to reach his shoulder was taken down, but i guess its possible.

I made a thread earlier in the offseason about how corporate he is. He really needs to break that mold. I know he's trying to avoid controversy but he's doing that at the detriment of the team. I want to see some T.O. out of Demarco from now. Stop being scared, Garrett is a lameduck anyways and Demarco is going to be a conveted free agent regardless what happens.

As long as Demarco does it behind closed doors that's all that matters. NO reason to take this to the media or to the fans. I don't think Demarco plays dumb or plays corporate inside that locker room.

Walks in? Looks to me like he gets potentially grabbed/dropped in the backfield.

Its hard to tell. I could see it played either way. The lineman tackling him in the backfield or Murray breaking the tackle. Its rare Murray goes down on first contact.

The worst part of it all is to here Garrett justify the audible because there SUPPOSEDLY was.an extra guy ready to destroy the play. I have yet to . see that extra defender that was there to.stop.that run. And the GIF proves this was a walk in TD without the audible.

I would GLADLY see that movie all over again over the "Romo Friendly" movie I've been watching since 2010. Are you kidding me? Those T.O. years were heaven compared to the misery of the last 3 seasons. Plus I'm not one of these sheep who believes the company line about everybody in that locker room being cancers. A lot of good players were scapegoated to make a more comfortable atmosphere for these mentally fragile losers.

Demarco needs to tell Romo during the timeout to run the ball. We didn't even need a touchdown, just 1 yd to get a 1st down. After the game, Demarco could have answered the question truthfully about it being a run play but he decided to play dumb. Why? Does anybody think that a simple truthful statement would fracture the locker room? It's just being honest. If honesty leads to a worse team environment, then this a weak locker room in the first place.

Ravens are 10x the organization we are and 100x the leaders we have. Look at how many times the defense called out Joe Flacco the last 3 years. Did he pout and snitch to his coach? No he took it and won a Super Bowl.

Stop Killin em boss. Romo is not beyond approach. This dude can get called out, if he can't take it then you know we're dealing with someone that doesn't have the mental capacity to lead us to the SB.

Marray is right to be mad, but if he says it hes the next TO. Better to just say nothing and wait out romo's career.

He'll be the next TO because you and others will portray him to be as such. I'd liken him to be more like a LEADER, BECAUSE HE'D BE RIGHT!

I mean look it is what it is. Last season, Romo did the same thing and we were 3rd in efficiency in the league. We were great in the redzone last year. So I understand why Romo does what he does. He's earned the right. But the NFL is a lot easier than he's making it out to be. And with the game he was having as was this offense as a whole? He should've taken the safer roads.

Wrong college. Eastern Illinois is the one.

That pic makes my blood boil. What did we do to get stuck with this guy?

Romo does change the play too often and he had a poor game, but he's still a damn good quarterback.

This is the rationale that allows Romo to continue to make rookie mistakes. Everyone and I mean everyone has agreed that the Oline is the strength of this team. Why can't Romo except it and play along. Dude it was 2nd and 1 as well as 1st and goal. The fact that he did it last season when he was ridiculed for it and didn't realize how we were smashing the 49ers with the run this season, then decides to do it again is alarming to me. I don't blame you for accepting it better than i, but making the same mistake year after year with his experience is inexcusable to me.

He has also earned the right to get called out for making the same dumb mistakes. What's th e excuse when it happens again? Don we just chalk it up again as another OFF ROMO DAY? If so, just chalk up another 8-8 or worse, because that's par the course with Romo as well. The sad fact is even with a porous defense were better than 8-8 with minus a few bone head plays or play calls by the QB, O and/or the HC.

You think Murray's pissed......imagine the OL. They did all the work to give them six only to be kicked in the teeth. Talk about a recipe for losing a team. Romo had better pull his head out. I wouldn't bust my *** for nothing.

Leaders don't sit dirty laundry in public. That's a sure-fire way to alienate the very people you're trying to lead. NOTHING good will come from DeMarco calling anyone out publicly.

Really?! I've stated before that Jeff Saturday called Manning out during a game and guess what came of it? Manning saying he was right and a SB ring is what happened. Teammates get called out all of the time, they can either wilt or respond.

it's amazing how non-confrontational this team and this fanbase have become. demarco needs to speak his mind on the running game issues. i'm sure he's done it privately yet they're too thick in the head to listen so if it happens publicly thru the media so be it.

like i said if they are so fragile that they would let THAT ruin chemistry, then this team never really had it in the first place.

What's funny is DeMarco wasn't at all shy about voicing his skepticism this summer when it came to this new commitment to running the football. I think it has more to do with situations such as this rather than the number of carries. And upon seeing this, I couldn't help thinking about his "Believe it when I see it" comments from a couple of months ago.

There's no excuse being made by me. I praise Romo when he does well and I criticize him when he's struggling.

Fact is, Romo regardless of popular belief was very good in the redzone last year. We know what Romo is. You take the bad with the good with him. He's a gunslinger. The things you hate about him is what makes him good. He doesn't have bus driver in his DNA. I get it. I'm not happy about it but its who he is and its why he had 31 TD's and 10 INT's last year.

I wish I could jump on the run run run bandwagon but I can't. You need balance, but Romo has to be the 2nd half of that attack, and he didn't do his part. I do agree that we should've run it at minimum twice down near the goal line. School intelligence doesn't equate to natural God-given common sense Mr Princeton/Columbia Univ.

That is just complete bunk. Smart is where it happens.

Not all people who come up in unstructured and informal means, don't have the depth of insights for response as well. There group of selections may also be much less.

Applications must be developed, whether in a formal or informal setting. An education is what it implies, it is a broad application of real life knowledge, that then must be applied to circumstances outside of a school atmosphere.

This always involves successes and also failures. That goes with a formal or informal route. Plan and simply.

Success from both routes, involves meeting failures and developing skills to overcome them. One can have a good technique, and learn to be great through the application...or one can see how to approach something, and develop better technique.

But it's success in applications that determines rate of development. Not if one is school trained or not. Objectivity is the determining fact...not source of knowledge. Stereotypes can be destructive, from either source of general knowledge.
