Poor Choice

[Spectre]

What gives?
Why not get this kid involved more early in the game?
He's got a ton of experience from college so I am sure he can handle pass protection and assignments.
Just because Felix is shut down doesn't mean we HAVE to lean on Barber entirely and have no other playmaker in the backfield.
I think the kid is young and hungry and that'll translate to fast in a game if he gets enough work to do something.

I think Barber is great but his specialty is closing. I think it would only help him to incorporate Choice into a role similar to Julius in the past, letting them rotate drives with Barber getting the lion's share in the 4th Q.

JMO.

What I want to know is why they keep splitting him out wide.

 

[Spectre]

I don't even think I noticed that.
That's really fooslish.

Because he drops simple passes that lead to fumbles during key moments of the game...

That was a poor decision by Romo.

You don't throw a pass to a guy 5 feet from you. He had no time to react.

He was actually being blocked when that pass was thrown, so he was falling backwards when the pass got to him. I love Romo, but he should have never thrown that pass. The defense read that play all the way.

Choice was to blame for running the wrong direction on one rush play though. Live and learn.

He played. Dallas is not going to give them equal time. Barber is the man and Choice will spell him at times

While he should have concentrated harder on getting the ball in his hands, that play was a worse decision by Romo than it was a poor execution by Choice.

Yes, Romo should have thrown the ball away. Even had Choice caught the pass, it would have been a big loss in yardage. Poor decision.

But Romo has poor decisions every game, usually mixed in with brilliant big plays. can live with a few snafus as long as the big plays keep coming.

Interception. Tony, R should've let that one "sail" out of bounds........

 

[coblue]

Its a shorter list for what Garrett and Phillips does right with our weapons than what they do wrong or do not do at all.

Sad but true.

was a fumble......

was a fumble......

Originally was ruled an INT, then changed to a fumble I think. it should have been an INT considering Choice never had clear control of the ball.

It was ruled a fumble and credited to Romo per NFL.com. Correctly. It was changed from a INT because is wasn't a forward pass.

it was ruled a fumble because it was a backwards pass. has nothing to do with whether choice had control of the ball or not

You know, watching the play originally, I thought it was a backwards pass, but the replay made it look really close.

i agree but i think it was ultimately changed from an int. to a fumble because it was determined to be backwards.
