On Romo's first INT

[THEHEREAFTER]

That's standard TO catch position. He doesn't extend his arms.

he did the same thing before swatting the hail mary out of bounds.

That was a TD if Romo could have corraled it sooner and thrown it farther. Imagine the legacy growth that would have generated, lol.

Actually he extended his arms nicely when he got behind springs for the second TD.

exactly what I thought. Had he thrown that 2 yards farther its a td to owens, and the roof comes off the building.

The roof is already off that building.

That was a Quincyesque throw by Romo.

I agree that TO just didn't get his arms extended to get it at its highest point. Maybe he didn't think the DB was in good enough position to make a play on the ball.

Just an overall bad play. Guroded screwed up the snap, Romo made a not so great decision, under threw it and should have also thrown it more toward the sidelines and TO needs to extend his arms. Dallas would have been lucky to come out of that play without a turnover.

At least I don't see people saying it was as good as a punt. :laugh1:

One of the biggest problems I have with Owens is that he tends to wait on the ball too much and catches it with his body rather than with his hands (despite what Hurd said he has been learning from Owens).

If you watch closely, most of the passes he doesn't catch are because he doesn't reach out for them (obviously he reaches out when they are past him but not when the ball is coming towards him). It also explains why he tends to drop a lot of passes. Go back and look at each pass that was thrown his way that he didn't catch and you will see this nearly every time. His elbows are in and he is waiting for the ball to come to him.

Often, the DB will cut in front and either knock it away or pick it off. A number of Romo's INTs are due to Owens not using proper technique or shielding the DB away from the ball with his body

I think our receivers are very spoiled because Romo is so accurate that they just expect every pass to be right on the money. This is when I miss Terry Glenn the most as he is excellent at extending for passes and not waiting on them to come to him.

That's always been said of TO since his days in SF. If it hasn't been corrected by now, it never will be.

Romo should have thrown it out of bounds. THAT was an impulse play.

He has to let those go.

Yes, that was very un-Jedi of him.

i agree...one interception per game he is due...a little unnerving...heck, Favre "still" thinks he can outgun good coverage at times...throw away and fight another day...always a good play as opposed to ...i guess/hope he'll learn in time...brilliant second-half though...

I'll gladly take 1 int a game with 4 TD's passes.

Not a good day to critisize a stud WR who had a monster game.

I just don't see the "Quincyesque" throw...Romo makes plays, he somehow always finds a way. If he throws that ball just alittle longer, it's a TD. He tried to make the play, and just under threw it alittle. Not that big of a deal to me.

If there wasn't an open WR right under where he threw the ball, thats one thing...but he didn't just throw it up for grabs.

 

[Clove]

Let's face it, Romo has his own unique style and it's very effective. He will occasionally throw some ducks/un-called for passes, but in order to receive the stud Romo who does spactacular plays, we have to live with the other stuff.

I was joking and that is why I included the smiley face. Romo had a good game and that was one of his not so good plays even though he was trying to create something off a bad snap. He is good for a turnover a game, but more importantly he is good for several scores a game.

Everyone who posts here and posted here last season knows I have been a T.O. fan since day one.

And I sure can't complain about the monster day he had yesterday, ... but I was a little disappointed at the effort he "didn't make" on Romo's desperation pass after the one snap over his head.

I thought Owens would catch that, but when he went up it seemed he tried to catch in the basket instead of going after it like a rebound in basketball, ... with his hands.

His elbows were bent and touching his jersey as he waited for the ball to come to him enabling Springs I think to get a hand on it and tip it away.

I think that if T.O. goes up as high as he can with his hands, like grabbing a rebound off the glass in basketball, that he could have caught that ball.

it was a terrible pass and a bad decision by Romo...he should have just thrown it away

I agree and the fact that it was 1 on 1 with TO it was worth taking the chance. He under threw it and said the same during the post game conference.

 

[actual29]

if TO catching it with his body means less drops...
then ill take it

on that play, TO would've had it easily but the D just barely tipped it
