Halftime evaluation: Impressed with Romo?

[STSINAZ]

love hoyte blocking too! he is opening things up for julius

 

[chinch]

We need to take those sideline routes out of the playbook. You are not playing high percentage football if you keep doing that.

they might be intentional to keep the INT/turnovers down as Romo gets a feel for the WRs in real game-day action.

 

[jackrussell]

Those quick outs........I'm ready for a pump and go.

Only a half, but he certainly looks like a QB that has been groomed, despite what others have been contesting for some time now.

 

[tyke1doe]

I'm impressed.
I'm also glad that Madden pointed out it was TO's fault (twice) and Glenn's fault that Romo threw passes out of bounds. They were too close to the sidelines.

Now, that's good analysis because without it, the average fan would think Romo wasn't accurate with the ball. He was going the only place he could throw it but the receivers were too close to the sidelines.

As for the interception, he's entitled to one as long as he makes up for it ... with a win.

 

[JBell]

We were down 14-0....

So how did Romo react to that??

He didn't panic, he led us to 10 straight points and now we're back in the ball game.

Bingo.

I think we're setting them up for the second half.

I think it's fair to say that those observations were terribly inaccurate

That has been a staple of our playbook all year.

Even back to preseason.

It just goes to show you that perhaps Haley isn't exactly qualified to be our coordinator. We have two great WRs and we waste them on sideline routes where they run a route and require the QB to hit a perfect throw to make the play.

that fade to Owens in the endzone was inaccurate, but I'm just nitpicking

 

[tyke1doe]

Did you hear Madden compare his release to ... Joe MONTANA!

We can only wish.

 

[50cent]

Too many passes for my liking, but running the two minute offense can do that to you. He's doing fine, just fine. I'm not on edge like I was with Bledsoe.

 

[Alexander]

Bingo.

If that is the case, it would be a first.

We are not a team that prides itself on being cunning very often.

at least we know Romo isn't 'soft', a 'game-quitter', dont' know about the rest of those guys though lol

Yeah, the first throw was a bad throw. But he regrouped with a throw to Witten.
If Romo wins this for the Cowboys, I think his confidence grows tremendously.

We did that against the Broncos last year, though.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Another thing to consider.

Usually if we go into the half down, even by one score, many are screaming and complaining.

Does not seem to be the case right now.

I think with a few exceptions the team is doing pretty good.

 

[superpunk]

He was good, except for the INT.

So Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

And it absolutely WAS an INT.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

I don't think Romo has a confidence problem either way.
Hell, look how well hes playing and his Girl just broke up with him.:laugh2:

 

[mmohican29]

Tony's release is sick. One of the best I've EVER seen. If he can manage the bonehead tendency.... sigh one can only dream of the possibilities

 

[Jimz31]

I'm happy with the performance so far, but am surprised that he is on pace to throw nearly 40 times in this game. What we really need to do now is get the run going so that he can be more effective when he does throw....but that puts the onus on the o-line to do some dang blocking.
