News: PFT: Romo’s playing time in preseason debut not determined yet

[NewsBot]

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo recently said that he’ll play in the team’s next preseason game, on Saturday night against the Ravens. But how long will Romo play? Typically, a starting quarterback who isn’t facing a challenge from an upstart rookie remains on the field for as long as the rest of the starting offense does. …http://youwillnotrackme2.net/b.gif?host=profootballtalk.nbcsports.com&blog=&post=2274066&subd=nbcprofootballtalk&ref=&feed=1

Per Archer:

Romo will make his preseason debut Saturday against the Ravens, and if form holds he will play 10-14 plays, based on Garrett’s history, before calling it a night.

A lot of times the starting QB's playing time is determined by the success of the first drive.
If they drive down and score, I think they pull him.
If not, he'll probably go a second series.
I'd think the absolute cap would be the 10-14 plays mentioned by Archer.

I want him in there for a full quarter.

I really don't care. But I would like to see one long pass.

I really don't care. But I would like to see one long pass.

I want to see him take a hit and how he recovers from it.

Thirteen straight runs and one long pass.

One play or forty I'm betting a 20 page thread on the condition of his back/ how he moves.

Will the game be live on NFL Network?

Seems like the same crap they pulled as last time. We'll miss the first drive or two.

That is disappointing, but thanks for the info, Doc. Hopefully we kick first, I could do without seeing the D.

I'd prefer he not take a hit for a long time.
This line should keep him upright.
Brady had years where he seemed like he'd go weeks without even a finger touching him.

Don't care. Just don't let him get hurt. Not just because of the back injury, but it's just what I worry about every preseason when our starters are in. Week 3 is the worst, since everybody is playing more snaps, but any time they're out there I'm holding my breath.
