He's probably wondering how many of his throws are going to go to Witten.

was just on not two minutes ago talking about how hard Romo has worked in practices to "get TO on his side". He claimed players told him this.
I take what this guy says with a grain of salt..but this one rings true...Romo is smart enough to know as a young qb, he must convince Owens that he 1) trusts him, 2) can get the ball to him, and 3) actually DOES get the ball to him. This MAY keep Owens from bring disruptive.
My feeling is what a pity any kid qb should have to keep this on his mind. He should be able to pass with as little pressure on him to 'share' as the game allows. If Witten is open, feed him. Glenn, Owens, Crayton, feed them. The game plan and the way the play develops should dictate the qb's decisions, NOT the mental instability, potential hissy fit, or any other extraneous selfishness of a receiver.
I just thank the good Lord Jason and Terry are here..they won't add to the kid's already considerable learning curve by forcing him to be concerned with who's happy, who ain't.
They'll just shut up and play.
And run precise routes.
Those two will be Romo's best friends, regardless of how many balls they catch.
I sure can't predict that of TO tho. But if Owens' ego and exhibitionism starts to bring this kid down, or lays one bit of grief on him, I hope Bill nips it hard and fast.
