I started watching the game with a bit of an annoyance yesterday. Fox reported that Romo had to take a shot before the game which perked my ears up and had me watching his movements. He didn't look comfortable and my wife giggled when Romo scrambled for that first down on an early drive. Did anyone notice how slow he looked? To me, he didn't appear to be moving well.
And now the question that is going to start my roast. Has he now become injury prone? Before you start lighting your torches, hear me out. Tony is a warrior and this team would not have near the success it's had if weren't him. He's saved Garrett's job many times because I believe that Tony has achieved success in spite of Garrett's offenses. A lot of those plays have been because of Romo not Garrett (when JG was the playcaller). Is this a little too late now? Have we (Jerry Jones) beat up Romo too much now? All those times of asking him to win games and take all those hits because of an inefficient line aged our QB to the point where he's now "one hit away" from a significant injury?
So how does Murray fit into this? As I watched our D stuff Murray time after time after time, I went from happy to angry. I can't believe that either no tried or Murray didn't listen to reason. Philly is all wrong for Murray. Most of us probably knew this already. I am sure the Philly fan base is calling for Kelly's head and pretty soon they'll be calling out Murray as well. I just don't understand the need for more money in a place that was all wrong for him when "if" the Cowboys had made a run this year and if Murray was a part of that, endorsements would be calling his name.
Our running game has been, "meh." Randle is playing with a lot of guts but Darren looks better. We can't run by committee anymore. We have to pick one and ride it. I believe we can be fine with Weeden (as I stick my finger in my mouth and barf). Our D is going to have to help a lot more now. We are going to have to take advantage of Weeden's arm and start taking shots down field. Even if they aren't completed, we are going to have to do it. Teams will be looking to shut down the running game and make us win on Weeden's arm. A positive note is that with Dez hurt, those WR's who normally don't see first team practice, have had practice time with Weeden. So there may be some good chemistry there.
I stated last year (after wanting JG gone for many years) that Garrett had proven that he was worthy of being a head coach. Now he's going to have to coach. He's going to have rally his team around Weeden (as I try not to barf again). This team can thrive but they are going to have to believe it. They cannot make the turnovers they did in the first game nor the penalties in yesterdays game. They are going to have to be pretty close to mistake free on the offensive side. I pray that the only fiddling done is in Philly.
