Will watch. Thanks for the link.

 

[STAR GAZER]

Wow not one mention of the OL struggles and injuries. It's all Romo. :bang2:

They did not say it was all Romo. Plenty talk about the coaches needing to make adjustments and the D letting the team down.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Good stuff.

Have to like what Witten had to say about Romo.

And I thought for a minute Lombardi was going to trash us about the team meeting, but then he said he thought we were very focused.

Also, I don't know if Roy got down to his weight goal or not, but his face looks leaner to me.

 

[Big Dakota]

Good, straight talk, thanks for the vid.

 

[kmd24]

They could use some Texas geography. San Antonio is not near Longview. Recycled Dallas graphic, I guess.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

I loved what Roy had to say about it being his job to make the QB look good.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Whoa!

Did they move the entire city of San Antonio overnight?:

That's nothing new. That's how it always is.

Yeah they mentioned that but they pretty much put the entire offensive struggles entirely on Romo. They acted like some of his rushed decisions, bad passes, and bad plays were totally on him and had nothing to do with some bad play around him. He makes mistakes, without a doubt, but it's not like the entire offensive struggles were all him.

Dukes was definitely hanging it on Romo but Lombardi was saying it was the team.

 

[JBS]

Consider me convinced this team is mentally prepared for this season. There was never a doubt in my mind this team had the talent, now it is time for them to prove it on the field.

Dukes was definitely hanging it on Romo but Lombardi was saying it was the team.

That was my assessment.

Lombardi was level-headed. He said it wasn't just Romo....the entire team stunk. He pointed out the game vs Baltimore and how our defense really dropped the ball. Dukes basically said it was Romo that game....he only had 80 some-odd yards passing before the fourth. What he failed to mention is that Romo got us going in the fourth quarter and may have been able to pull out a win....had our defense been able to tackle.

Lombardi was wrong in laying the blame of the Philly game on the defense. That game was terrible all around. I didn't feel the defense was too terrible. They were placed in terrible positions. The offensive line was the worst I saw all year. Romo couldn't protect the ball.

Anyway....Dukes took the quick and easy way. Lombardi had a little more knowledge of our situation.

Both Romo and Barber had fumbles returned for TDs (loong tds). so it wasn't all the D.

I think it's interesting that when Lombardi mentions the coaches having to make adjustments, he doesn't point to Wade...he points to Garrett and I think he's right. Garrett has so many weapons at his disposal, its up to him to figure out how to use them all as effectively no matter the situation.

Has Jamie Dukes lost a few pounds? I haven't watched NFLN in a while and he seems a bit more svelte.

How is it fans can watch this and come away with an opinion like yours?

Dukes clearly said this is a team game. But he also said Romo tends to make poorer decisions late in the season. And if he had elevated his play, this team would have won a play-off over the last two years ago.

He hardly threw Romo under the bus.

 

[Fletch]

Yeah, that one guy on the NFL Channel said that he'd never heard of a team having a team meeting before the start of training camp.

I personally think the Cowboys are coming together. Telling one another that it's time to lose the personal stuff, play together for four quarters, no excuses, and don't let each other down. Time to kick some butt!

Yea, hes dropped a bunch of weight.

They is Jamie Dukes others at the NFL Network said it was more than just Romo
