If the Cowboys get a huge lead in a game will Romo have to play?

Bledsoe will not be happy doing mop up duties. Who else would play if they wanted to sit Romo in a blow out game.

There is NO chance that Bledsoe will come in for mop-up duty. Romo will take every snap of every game, health provided, as long as Bill is committed to him as starter.

1) You just don't do that to a veteran.

2) Romo needs every real-game snap he can get for the rest of the season.

I agree. Regardless of what some may think Parcells still likes Bledsoe and would not disrespect him like that. I don't expect Drew to be happy about all this, no competitor would be happy about it but he is going to remain with the team and if called on in the event of an injury I expect Drew to give his best.

Patrick Crayton?:-D

No but seriously - Romo won't be benched if we are 60 pts ahead. Needs the reps.

He'll be handing off every play anyway if we're up big.

And if were down big, well, as Bill says the captain goes down with the ship....

Welcome aboard Captian Romo. Watch out for the icebergs.

Just to add one thing... Romo needs to see every single game-situation... and that includes running the clock out when you're up big in the fourth.

Parcells will want to see if he can maintain his focus in those situations and continue to take the snaps from center cleanly and continue to hand the ball off smoothly and crisply to the running back, and not make dumb mistakes that can let a team back in the game.

It sounds too simple, but I assure you it's true.

Also, ask yourself... how many times have you EVER seen Peyton Manning or Brett Favre come out of a game regardless of the score? I'm sure it happens occasionally, but not often. You ALWAYS see Peyton taking the victory kneel at the end of games... never Jim Sorgi.

this is a non-issue...

against what team will we need a little mop-up duty?

The Commanders?

 

[DipChit]

Yeah if it's true mop up duty you just hand the ball off everytime.. whats wrong with that.. afraid he'll blow out an achilles stepping away from center?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Romo needs all the QB time he can get. He stays in game.

 

[Hoov]

think we have other problems to worry about, rather than who will come in and handoff when we are killing teams by 4 or more td's. lets get a win on the road first.

Arizona possibly
