Sure, it's a hurray as long as Romo looks sharp opening night. If he looks rusty against the Giants I'm going to be pissed that they didn't give him nearly enough preseason work. And I'm sure I won't be alone.

You won't be alone, and I know Romo needs snaps. But because of his injury history over the past 2 years, and his age, it's the smart thing to do. He'll be ready for the Giants.

The other side of that equation is that with Romo's fragility, perhaps Dak needs the snaps even more than Tony.

If Tyron Smith isn't protecting him and Dez isn't out there then I don't care if he plays.
I don't need to watch Michael Bennett teach Chas Green at Romo's expense.

Team ran by cowards!

And if Romo stinks out the joint vs the Giants? Put us in an early hole because JJ is a coward! Thanks

Scared man don't win no butt kicking contest!

The difference between the Cowboys and 49ers was toughness, had this regime been in charge, there wouldn't have been a 90's dynasty.

This guy would like nothing more than to skip training camp all together! As long as we're healthy on opening day!

Enjoy Romo's four int opener, Jerry!

We don't want to over work them.

I wouldn't be against a week off after this. Maybe just meetings to talk about their feelings.

This game is mental just as much as it is physical..I think your plan is still too much

Another trip to cabo should do the trick

How much will Romo benefit from a preseason game, not sure. I'd likely play him at least a full quarter and then some, before switching to Dak. Certainly makes a pre season game more interesting, and I can see wanting to get him reps/experience now because Romo will get nearly all in season, so sure what ever.

I just want to see Romo handing off to Zeke at least one freaking time. Just give me something here.

More than likely he will be. He always seems Rusty in the first game. If Eli hadn't thrown that ball out of the end one, we lose that game. But, that drive down the field to score that last TD was AMAZING.

Yeah, because he was warmed up by then.

I'd sure feel better if we opened a game with a drive like that though.

Just watched a you tube video of a 1994 preseason game Cowboys-Oilers in Mexico City of all places. Troy played the entire first half without Emmitt or Michael.....and this was after they won 2 SBS in a row.

So by not showing the first part of the game, they won't be showing Tony, so are they doing it just to show Dak....lol....
Stupid NFLN...

I get to see it locally anyway, but still , why does a football life take the spotlight over a game. Especially when they show those football life show over and over and over....NFLN programming sucks.
