PFT: Rosenhaus Says “Several Teams” Are Interested In Owens

[TellerMorrow34]

Tony Romo had plenty of time to drive the ball. There was a minute left. TO had single coverage on the play and was a better option. TR didnt have to throw it to anybody but run for yardage. The point is, TR has had a problem with forcing the ball. He doesn't just try and force the ball to TO, he does it to every receiver at particular times. How does TO suddenly become the scape-goat for this issue?

Also, TO did not break on the route against he Steelers. I alfready analyzed the play. First of all, TO pointed out to Romo prior to the snap that Polamalu had the coverage. The other DB of the Steelers, unlike in the 49ers game, correcty read the coverage an played deep, taking away the inside of Owens route. The 49er DB just touched TO and let him go buy, and Singletary had already pointed out that they didn't jam TO properly at the line, letting him run by. Further, as soon as one sees TO turn and supposedly break on the ball, Polamalu already had inside position. TO also hesitated in the 49ers route as well, which is a clear indication that hesitation was part of the play.

The Steelers knew exactly what was coming on that play. TO pointed it out to Romo, Polamlua already broke on the route, and their DB took away the inside. It is actually a mark against against Garrett nd his predictability.

The point is, it is Garrett's coaching has not made Romo better, it has contributed to his problems. The whole notion of trying to get big chunks down the fiels has put Romo in a bind to make plays. He has to run around avoiding the rush, wiaiting for plays to develop, which the defense already knows what is coming.

You could be dead right on Garrett, I can't claim otherwise.

As for Tony tucking it and running it, I think you've got something missing. Mainly that there was less than a minute at the time of that pick. If I recall correctly there was less than 20 seconds and it was 4th down. So, no, he couldn't have just ran the ball and lived for another play. It was 4th down and they had no time outs left. It was win then or the game was over either way.

In fact if you look right there, on the final play of the game, there are 16 seconds left and the Boys had no time outs.

So, no, he didn't have plenty of time to win it there at the end. That was it. It was the final play of the game. And as you'll recall had Crayton not slowed up on his route then Romo had correctly thrown the perfect ball, on the perfect call, the play before on what would have won the game.

TO is a great player, without a doubt, but he's not the be all end all.

You would atcually be more relevant if you try and counter-act the argument instead of retorting like a child with your little smilie faces, which actually reveal you have no argument and are more than irritated by the fact that what I said was right.

It doesnt do any good. All you can say is "Garrett sux"..."TO is awesome"

Every thread its the same junk.

16 seconds is plenty of time in that territory. You can get 2 plays off that snap. And they had a chance to get a first down. The point is, he forced the ball into triple coverage with other options. Whether it was 1st, second third or 4th down. And it was not 4th down I believe, but 3rd down.

He has done. Look, nobody is bashing Tony Romo. The point is, he has that tendency. It isn't the only example. Garrett has exemplified a problem tha use to happen every 3 TDs, to every now and then.

 

[Wrangler87]

Sorry... Your whole assumption is rooted in the fact that Peyton Manning won't be getting TO the ball. They don't have a garbage OC like we do. Further, while Tony Romo is good, he is not even close to the level of Peyton Manning. TO won't be complaining because they will be getting him the ball and they will be using him in motion, and they will be having him run short and quick slants.

Like I said, TO doens't complain in 3 minutes. He complains when the team is losing.

Why don't you go with him.

Every thread its the same junk.

And every response of these thread you look at being so dumb seem to irritate with you to the point you have to do some sort of stupid smiley. Garrett does suck and TO is a HoF receiver. That is a fact.

Again, was TO the "I" receiver or not in Garrett's offense?

 

[khiladi]

Why don't you go with him.

Wow... Another brilliant response. I know you are, but what am I... Why not you just not open your mouth.

It's all he has.... get used to it!

They were also 13-3 with him, which they never were without him during those 3 years. They wrapped up the division and home field advantage with him. WHat is your point? Like I said, Ware didn't win as well, nor did TR. How come TO is the scape-goat? So if TO wasn't part of the winning, then he surely wasn't all of the reason for the 'losing'. With Romo, we most likely would have one another game and had at least one more shot at the play-offs, despite Garrett's suckiness. So we would have two play-off shots with TO if it weren't for the injury to Romo. Maybe we would have been one and done, but we were still better overall with TO.

We did have two playoff shots with TO. We were 1 and done both times. And yes he was a big part of us being 13-3. He was also a big part of us being 9-7 twice.

No it was 4th down. The 3rd down pass was the incompletion to Crayton. The only way we get another shot there is Romo runs for the 1st down. maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't, it's impossible to say for sure.

But it was 4th down with 16 seconds left.

And again with Garrett I won't argue that his play calling isn't part of the problem because I do believe it is. But he's also the same guy that got Romo going in 2007 so while he's part of the problem, and I thought for a while he wouldn't be here this year either, he's going to be back and I've got to hope he'll do better.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

You'd have to be pretty stupid to think a team is NOT going to sign him.

QFT

The media knows someone is going to sign him. TO has plenty in the tank and I would not be surprised is 5 or more teams are interested. I'm thinking Denver, Washington, San Francisco and Oakland. All need WR help.

True.
True.
He wont go to Oakland.

If TO goes to the Colts, Jerry is going to be banging his head against the wall, watching TO put up among the best number of his career. One of the bone-headed moves of Jerry Jones in his history as the Cowboys owner.

Well, right there is the pickle. Peyton and those coaches will really expose us for what we couldnt accomplish. = Getting the ball to the playmaker.. .because he wants it, because its the right thing to do.

 

[Mash]

I dont know.....

We could of saved lots of money .....this team with Quincy Carter and Hambone...etc playing behind a low cost....pathetic line and a defense that didnt have a Ware or Ratliff...etc and still won 10 games...

Lets blow it all up........Romo hasnt won anything.....Barber too....Ware is a supposed stud....but what have we won with him?



Is that how it works?

Just sayin

 

[Wrangler87]

Wow... Another brilliant response. I know you are, but what am I... Why not you just not open your mouth.

I'm not trying to be brilliant. Why don't you wait until he signs with the Raiders, and then go with him. No one here will miss you, I promise.

actually if he goes to the Colts the question is whether you will have the same user name on the Colts' forums.

 

[WarC]

As I think about it, I'm starting to think Jerry & Co purposely let the question of TO's release hang in the air until Danny Boy pulled off his annual spending spree. Making it that much less likely that they'd go after Owens, "just in case".

 

[tyke1doe]

Drew Rosenhaus also told us that he had Willis McGahee pick up the phone and feign like he was talking to a club about to draft him.

"Several teams" = Canadian football league, maybe one or two NFL teams and a host of Arena football league organizations.

I know your not trying to be brilliant. You'd come down with a sever headache based upon your already minuscule IQ level. Seriously, if your going to say something relevant, then say it.

 

[khiladi]

No it was 4th down. The 3rd down pass was the incompletion to Crayton. The only way we get another shot there is Romo runs for the 1st down. maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't, it's impossible to say for sure.

But it was 4th down with 16 seconds left.

And again with Garrett I won't argue that his play calling isn't part of the problem because I do believe it is. But he's also the same guy that got Romo going in 2007 so while he's part of the problem, and I thought for a while he wouldn't be here this year either, he's going to be back and I've got to hope he'll do better.

Again, whether it was 4th down or 3rd down, Romo still forced the ball to a triple-covered Glenn. He had no reason whatsover to throw it to him. Further, 16 seconds is plenty of time to get another snap. You cannot dispute this point.

Further, Garrett got TO going in 2007, but Garrett was figured out by the end of the year. Garrett didn't adjust this whole year and that is the reality of it. I hope he does better too, but I'm not going to sit here and act as if TO was the problem, while Garrett gets a free pass in this whole mess.

The fact is, nobody wanted Garrett as head coach and even the Dan Reeves move to baby-sit him didn't work. I actually think Jerry thought he would save more face by dumping TO then Jason Garrett this year..

16 second is plenty of time if you pick up the first down. There wasn't a single reciever running a route to pick up the first down so the only hope of that was Tony running around 13 yards (Counting where he was behind the line) before getting tackled and picking up the first.

If he doesn't get it then it's over regardless cause it was 4th down. I never said Garrett gets a free pass or that TO is the root of all of our problems. Not once have I said that.

In fact I've said in more than one thread that just cutting TO will not solve all our problems. It will solve one of them but not all of them.

But since I don't see Jerry cutting every single person involved in how this team didn't do well I can only talk about, praise, hate, accept the ones he does make.

TO was one of those problems he decided to fix, along with Roy Williams. We'll see as the rest of the offseason progresses how they go about things from here.

Dude I usually agree with u,but this isnt a huge loss.TO definitely lost a step and a step in the nfl is huge.Romo wont have him in his ear constantly too.U have to admit TO never shuts up.If he is running his mouth to the media imagine what he says behind closed doors.I dont see some huge dropoff here.

 

[tyke1doe]

T.O. is gone. I guess this Jerry Jones should sell the franchise since we'll never be the Dallas Cowboys ever again now that the star has been removed from T.O.'s helmet.

R.I.P. Dallas Cowboys. We knew you well.
