Jerry Confirms Romo Audibled out of the Goal Line Play (2nd Series)

[Sportsbabe]

I've got to wait a week to get this off my brain.

 

[Plankton]

That's the amusing thing. Unless Jerry has a head-set, how does he know? Did he go down to discuss with the coaches what happened on that specific play? That is the real question a reporter should be asking.

 

[9of11]

I wonder if any other teams GM/owner speaks to the media like Jerah does after a pathetic performance?

 

[Craig]

That play definitely annoyed me more than the ill advised throws...though that end zone int was a completely unnecesary risk. Im not sure what he was thinking today.

Explains why nobody helped Romo up after the 3rd sack

 

[pansophy]

Romo has to learn to adjust his audibles. We actually have an O-line that can give us a 2 yard push. Hopefully we don't see that kind of performance again.

 

[Wood]

I don't know why but when I watched Romo today....I felt like I was watching an ex boxer on stage trying to do comedy. Nothing graceful about end of players career.

 

[Zekeats]

I already knew he did. No OC who wants to keep their job would do it. And if Romo was smart...he wouldn't do it either. I'd rather fail at running than fail at throwing in a running situation.

Funny thing is not one running play failed today

In other news, Romo accidentally took a double-dose of pain meds and was high as a kite to start the game.

If this is true, it would be hilarious.

Nobody knows what is going on at Valley Ranch. Romo was suppose to stop running and stay in the pocket like Brady. Then they were to add that two tight-end package. Then Romo was suppose to be like Manning with control calling plays. Jerry has destroyed this franchise.

At no point was Romo supposed to stop running and stay in the pocket like Brady. That was simply a misunderstanding by many of what Romo said he worked on prior to the 2008 season.

Perhaps Jerry was wrong in suggesting Romo needs to have the authority like Manning.

Maybe what this team needs - after determining if Romo is at 100% - is to rein him in and make him a bus driver.

Too late for that. Wwwwaaaayyy too late. Parcells tried it, and Jerry undermined it by bringing in TO, forcing the Cowboys to be a pass-happy team.

Well he stopped running and very rarely do we have designed plays for Romo to throw on the run. No bootlegs at all... No moving the pocket, even when Romo was getting hammered...

What was it Parcells said? In two years you wouldn't even know I was here?

 

[fifaguy]

Why is Jerry answering any of these questions?

He has never been a runner. He is a scrambler. He actually average more rushing attempts in 2008 than he did in 2007 or 2006.

I was just thinking about what a great quote that was.

I know, I'm slow.

He trying to keep us entertained and he succeeded. I was more entertained by what he said than the game.

 

[khiladi]

That's what I mean. Boot-legs are 'scrambling' type plays to throw on the run. That ability has always made defenses second-guess if he is going to run or not.

 

[visionary]

Why say anything?

Because he is an idiot?

 

[Zman5]

He has never been a runner. He is a scrambler. He actually average more rushing attempts in 2008 than he did in 2007 or 2006.

He was one of the best passers on the run. We used to run more designed roll out plays with Sprano.
