Interesting tidbit on the Romo-Tanner INT

[85Cowboy85]

Haven't seen this posted anywhere but apparently that interception to Tanner was actually going to Beasley. Tanner ran the wrong route and led his man into the passing lane resulting in the INT. He was supposed to run out into the flat.

When I first watched it I just thought it was a horrendous throw to Tanner honestly. But upon rewatching it again from the highlights it is pretty apparent. Beasley indeed had a step on his man right behind Tanner. The play could have gone for 10-15 yards to Beasley easily.

I'm not trying to say Romo has no blame in the INT. Players are going to run wrong routes at times and the quarterback still has to be aware of what happens on the field. But I have noticed in general he is making pretty good decisions with the football. I think it bodes well for us especially if Kiffin somehow manages to make something out of this defense.

watching the replay, I saw it was going to Beasley

the wrong route by Tanner is interesting, if true it explains Tony's frustration at him

all over the internet that Tanner said he ran the wrong route. Romo chewed him out pretty good for it.

This is really what you get when you are forced to play inexperienced guys. If Murray is on that route, you can bet he's in the right place. People often call for various young guys to play more, but that is the stuff you live with if you do

I saw Romo was pretty heated up and yelling at Tanner after the play. Troy Aikman on TV said the ball was thrown behind Tanner. Now I know why. Thanks.

it is like many of you don't read twitter.

Must we make an excuse for EVERY Romo pick? Bad throw, it happens- they won.....move one.

The same can be said for every pick he throws. But what mattered was he threw a TD in the end to put the game away.

When I first saw it, I thought- terrible throw, then in the replay it did seem Romo was wanting it to go to Beasley who had his man beat.
Then the Chew Out on Tanner confirmed it in my mind.
Like Abe said above though- these things have to be expected somewhat with inexperienced players.

It's not an excuse if it's what actually happened. Thats why teams review game tape things aren't always what they appear

 

[percyhoward]

It would have been a first down, assuming Beasley didn't flat out drop it. Now, it's just another hard-luck INT on a Beasley target.

I say this every week.

But here goes again.

If you are a cowboys fan you should be listening to brad sham, babe laufenberg and kristie scales on the radio.

You would have known what happened on that play the second it happened. Babe broke it down immediately.

It was going to Beasley 110% and tanner dragged his guy into the coverage.

100% on Tanner

I turned it off when Romo threw his first INT because someone on here said if he threw an INT we would lose! . Crap, I missed the whole second half. I'll never believe anything on the Internet again. Lol.

ding...ding....ding....you got it right.. INT now are subcategorized....some on here don't think Tony has thrown an INT yet this season. You know, bad route, poor protection, hail mary pass, tipped ball, sun in eyes, blah, blah, blah.....but anyway, win is a win....beat the lyings.

What's funny is, the last 10 games in which Romo hasn't turned the ball over, the Cowboys are 5-5.

The national guys ripped him apart for this. Dukes and Sharper in particular on NFLN right after the game. Dukes basically insinuated that Romo made a bad throw to Tanner and was trying to escape criticism by chewing him out. Sharper said Romo got "happy feet" and that caused the inaccurate throw. There was no mention of this made and thus I assumed it was not common knowledge.

You are very lucky to get the local guys. Sadly I am out of state and thus stuck with the analysis of Dukes.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

I was wondering why Romo was on Tanner's case so bad.

You're right.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said- "Simplify, simplify"

We should all be simpletons and not look into root causes.
Makes us happier since we can have all the answers.
And they're simple too!
