NFL network says Romo out today***Merged***

[Eddie]

The make up of this current team is so that the QB is no longer the catalyst of the team. If we can win with a bus driver at QB, then we're in great shape for the upcoming NFC East battles.

This game will be our litmus test.

Big day for Murray coming

 

[Slim_JD]

I believe in brandon weeden. He's got great weapons around him. Just let him lean on murray and he'll be fine.

Weeden is the best backup in the league and playing behind one of the best olines out there. Not to mention we have an awesome running back and tons of weapons. He will be fine. Cards going down.

If that O-LINE didnt learn how to pick up the blitz properly we might be rooting for VAUGHAN by halftime. Murray might get 35 carries today.

 

[BAZ]

Low scoring games are the Cards bread and butter. Not a great situation for Weeden.

 

[mahoneybill]

Good decision. We need Tony later in the year. Hope he can at least be on the sideline to give input to Weeden.

Hope we can call Brandon " Smoke em Weeden " after he does that to the Cards today.

 

[Fletch]

Haha, i guess most of The Zone doesn't watch other teams. I watched Weeden a lot in Cleveland, he was really, really bad. I'd expect two picks unless we go ultra conservative.

Regardless, i'm still rooting for him.

Kind of tough to be good when the entire team around you sucks. I saw lots of Weeden in college, and in Cleveland because I live too damn close to Ohio. He had some moments, but his Browns teams were pitiful.

Not really a good barometer to judge by.

Big day for Murray coming

All we need is for him to go down!!! That O-LINE better be SHARP TODAY and kick some ***

 

[Dirtjunkie]

Oh boy... Can you imagine if Weeden leads the Cowboys on a roll past the cards and jags?

The media will be frothing at the mouth.

Sooooo, what if BW goes in and does great? I personally believe he is a better QB than his career and stats show. He was on a bad team in Cleveland, never had a legit shot. Will we hear all the Romo haters yelling for Romo's benching? Not stiring the pot, personally LOVE Romo. Just a legit question. Now that said if he goes bust, then what?

Let Romo heal up, keep him home on the London trip and go into your bye giving him a few weeks to heal. That's the smart money as we need to look past the present vs. the future and ensuring that we're set up for success for the stretch run.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will not play Sunday against theArizona Cardinals, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Romo suffered two transverse process fractures in last week's loss to the Washington Commanders, according to sources. While there can be no further damage, Romo did not practice all week and remained in a good amount of pain later in the week.

Brandon Weeden will start with undrafted rookie Dustin Vaughan as the backup.

NFL.com earlier reported Romo's status.

The Cowboys leave for London on Monday to get ready for their Nov. 9 meeting against theJacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. The hope is Romo can play against the Jaguars, but the team and quarterback will weigh all factors with the bye week on Nov. 16 and possible added rest making Romo more comfortable.

I think we'll be fine, Weeden can handle it and our oline will take control and manhandle there front 7. Another big day for Murray.

Agreed. Our line will wear down their front seven and the holes will only expand as the game goes along.

 

[cowboys1981]

The boys are going to step, the Oline knows what they have to do and they'll dominate the trenches.


Defense knows they will need to hold it down and I expect to see guys swarming all over the field.

Low scoring games are the Cards bread and butter. Not a great situation for Weeden.

Well then we about to feast on some bread and butter, son!

 

[Staubacher]

Leary and Free out too

If that O-LINE didnt learn how to pick up the blitz properly we might be rooting for VAUGHAN by halftime. Murray might get 35 carries today.

When you send more rushers than you have blockers It's no longer on the o-line

 

[Doomsay]

Hopefully the play calling is a little less predictable this week, Weeden needs all the help he can get.

this may have been said, havent had time to get caught up here this AM. Was listening about an hour ago to WFAN Sports Talk in NY and they had on the Chief Of Surgery at a major NY hospital specifically to talk about Romo's injury. He gave the standard disclaimers of....he hasn't examined Romo personally, so he needs to talk about this injury in general and that the Cowboys have an expert medical staff that is known as one of the best and they always do whats right.

He then backed up what everyone else was saying about it can't do any further damage as the fractures are not near nerves or spinal canal. He said he is glad that the fractures didn't harm any internal organs last week when it happened. And he reiterated average heal time for this is 2 weeks. And he would guess that Dallas doesn't put him on the plane. He said Jeff Hostetler had the same injury and healed and was fine.

And I'll say this again. After hearing this professional talk about it....Romo is one tough cookie. He gets an atta boy from me.

No he doesn't Do you really believe that?

keep drinking that koolaid
