Twitter: Jerry Jones on 105.3 - Nothing medically to prevent Romo from playing - 10/29/14

When games are to be played they have to report the injury. They can't underplay the severity of the injury.

I understand. However, there have been a few situations in which the Cowboys and other teams have been questioned upon their reporting of injuries. It's not a new thing in the NFL so you have to kind of gauge what's being said, so to speak.

Another poster mentioned it earlier, a cyst was what was reported on Tony. That amounted to something much bigger yeah?

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.

great analysis. Spot on.

Payton is apples and oranges, and the 95% success rate is not pro football players.

Here's what's going on, Tony has re-injured his back, he will be in pain every game for the rest of the year, if he returns he has a large chance he'll injure it further. How many times have you seen him grab his back this season all ready? Did you all see the mans face when he was lying there? With the look of "this is it" on his face?
They are gunning for him. If he can finish out the season, somebody needs to sit him down and explain to him what life will be like when he hits 50.

I want a super bowl too, but I don't want to see that pathetic display of him hoping around in a circle then almost throwing a pick 6 at the end of the game. It's not always the happy ending NFL players live with, Roger and Troy both left before they wanted to and Tony will also.

LOL, you are such a joke it's funny. You say all off-season that Romo will not finish the season. Then the season starts and as the season goes on you get quieter and quieter. Your cornball signature saying he won't be here in 2015 disappears and you go in to hiding like a roach with the lights on. Now as soon as he gets hit (even though he's been getting hit all year) you are dancing around in your boxers and happy as can be. Now you hedge your bets and say "if he finishes the season" but ooh, you put it in bold. You're so daring.
Stop acting like you have the slightest idea what happened with Romo's injury and spreading misinformation. Your name should be "nocredibility" since you waffle so much even you don't believe what comes out of your mouth.

He doesn't have a degenerative condition.

Peyton's was 1000% worse. He had spinal fusion in the cervical, he lost all power in his arms, could not throw the ball 10 yards. He came back and is doing great at 38. You're another drama queen dude.

Romo took a knee to the back has a bruise (contusion). You're all excited about the back injury.

Go find your rock....

I love that Jerry is being so clear that it all depends on whether Romo has any balls, if he plays or not. This is how you get guys running back onto the field when they can't even see straight. It's not your general managers job to say, "If you don't see this guy out there, it's because his boo-boo hurt too much."

Would you like to talk about what you were saying all off season....lol I'm sorry I hurt you so badly, I'm deep under your skin aye lad.

He doesn't have a degenerative condition. (out of you're league here skippy) But carry on anyway.

a little epidural procedure

I'm no Doctor but have been taken epidurals for the last 4 years. There is no "little" epidural I have ever heard of? And when one is given you are to have no physical activity for 24 hrs.
