Anyone know what they typically use for pain management prior to a game for players in this situation.

And I wonder if it would affect reaction time

Torodol shots. Possibly a little epidural procedure to alleviate tightness and spasms.

He took one a couple of weeks ago and was sharp. Took one to get back in the game on Monday night and while he wasn't sharp, he was no different from how he started the game.

Yeah I think Romo's struggles on his return were due to the Skins blitzing not his injury. He still moved around and threw ok. Haslett just has his # plus we were stupid not to run more.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I hope these shots and meds don't affect Romo on the field. He seemed out of sorts Monday night. He didn't see the blitzes coming (or he would've rolled out) and he wasn't seeing the field very well. I hope it was just a hiccup game and not related to pain killers.

Haslett believes that Romo does not do well in all out blitz situations. He believes that because Tony won't stand in and take the hit to beat the blitz, but instead, will try to evade, it allows for the Defense to only have to be concerned with covering for a very limited amount of time, rather then having to stick to receivers for a longer period of time. He counts on this, which is why you see him bring 8 so much against Tony. Because Tony wasn't throwing the ball very accurately, that only feed into the blitz and we saw the results. Jim Haslett is not a revolutionary genius DC. He's a guy who thinks he's identified something with Tony and uses it against him every time we play them.

How many times have you read comments like, "See this every game from Washington. How are we still not prepared for the all out blitz?" It's because that's the book on Tony in Haslett's eyes. He has young CBs. If he leaves them out there to cover, they are going to be burnt toast. He really has no other choice then to play us this way. That means that Tony is always going to have to account for the 8th man, that's his man to beat. Now, you either do that with your feet and make the man miss or you hang in and burn the Blitz for 6 or big gains down the field or, you can use your running game to limit the times a defense can use the all out blitz by picking up good yards on 1st and 2nd down and force a team that use an 8 man blitz to make a decision. If you choose to use the all out blitz against a team who can effectively run on short 3rd down situations, you are going to lose a healthy number of those battles.

We didn't do that on Monday night. We ran the ball effectively but we went to play action a lot on 2nd down. That created longer 3rd down situations for the Offense, which played into the hands of what Haslett and the Skins wanted to do all along. That was on us. We did that to ourselves IMO. The TOs and drops didn't help, certainly, but our offensive game plan played a very significant role in the lose as well, IMO. Again, if you bring the house on the blitz, the 8th guy is always going to be the QBs man to beat. It doesn't matter how good your OL plays, that guy is going to be the QBs.

We needed to trust our running game and limit the exposure of our QB. We didn't do a very good job of that IMO.

Yeah Linehan was obsessed with passing on 2nd down. Almost every time even in short yardage. The last two drives he did it with a banged up Romo and a fierce rush. Made no sense when you're picking up 7 yards a carry. Play action on occasion is great but he way overdid it and it cost us the game.

I watched Aikman for years stand in on blitzes to the last moment and sometimes deliver a big play just as he was taking one under the chin (legal in those days). Tony, for all of his wonderful strengths, including toughness (he is no coward), does not really do that. He throws while fading away, or he tries to escape. That is why Haslat brings those blitzes as ABQ already pointed out.

I think has to do with all the years of Romo getting blasted. Aikman took some abuse but it seems Romo has taken a lot more.

He also wasn't seeing them before the shots. But I understand your concerns.

 

[rcaldw]

Honestly, I don't think that is true. Aikman took such a beating in 89 and 90 I don't have any doubt it shortened his career. And for the rest of his career he took shot after shot AFTER he had released the ball. They protect QB's today in a way like never before. I will say this, though, they let people get away with things against Tony that they NEVER allow on the other high profile QB's in the league.

 

[speedkilz88]

Aikman took a lot more hits.

Romo should play. If it's a bruise than he's playing, this is a big game and we need a win.
