Per Jerry on The Ticket moments ago...his exact words were, "It looks like he's going to play."
***InmanRoshi RECAP***
Who will make the final decision on Romo playing?
We’ll see how he feels, and that will be it. It will be up to how he feels on Sunday at this juncture. It will be up to him. If he’s feeling good and the pain is good, he’ll play.
There is no possibility of him being injured more severely?
No.
There’s no chance of him furthering the injury?
No there’s not. He has a very good cast and a very good system to support his hand. You can conjure up any kind of scenario you want and anything is possible. Anyone can break their hand on any Sunday. But he’s thrown the ball well in practice. It’s very likely that he will be able to play. The question is can he handle the pain. Brad had a good practice yesterday, so we’ll have a look at this thing.
Did Tony try hard snap throws like a 15 yard out?
Yes
Did he try handoffs?
We limited them in practice, but it’s possible he will try some by Sunday. You can conjure up any scenario you want, but this will come down to whether or not Tony thinks he can play.
As a GM, don’t you ask yourself why take the chance?
I know how important this game is to us. Our team is under siege with injuries. We’ll be a better team weeks down the road. What we can’t do is comprimse ourselves due to decision making right now that effect out won loss record.
It seems like the team is almost afraid to play Brad Johnson.
It may appear that way to some. Fundamentally it’s just that we obviously feel that Tony gives us the best chance to win. That’s obvious. So do we give ourselves the best chance to win. This team beat the Commanders last week.
But the Rams are 4-17 in their last 21. They are dead last in offense and defense. They totaled 4 TDs all year. Never more than 2 in a game.
We need to beat them .. look at our the next 3 games, we need to win this game because the upcoming games are tough. That’s the rationale that’s there.
I know you said that PacMan wasn’t a distraction. But one of the leaders of the team had to go to PacMan and ask him to apologize to the team. Doesn’t that indicate a problem?
No, I love that kind of leadership on this team. These aren’t robots out here. These are men that have interplay, but distractions are not the word. I’ve seen it used as an excuse, but I’ve never seen these things as a real distraction. It’s fun to blame this stuff on things, but this stuff shouldn’t effect blocking, tackling or studying for a game. You know, I stayed up all night with a QB one time, into the wee hours of the night, listening to his concerns with the franchise and we went out the next day and won the Superbowl. I’ve never seen these distractions impact the team on the field.
Well, I guess we can deduce who that quarterbacks was. So PacMan is still a Cowboy, but suspended, but will he have the bodyguards with him.
I haven’t thought about that. Should he go through treatment and those things it won’t be necessary.
Have you talked about conditions which he might return?
No, but I’ve read the stipulations put forth by the Commissioner, so I know what they are.
Didn’t his actions violate the zero tolerance policy?
They didn’t violate any of the team rules. But they did violate the conditions of his re-instatement. That was the issue. Not with this team, but with all 32 teams. I was very aware that the narrow window he had getting back into the league could be in violation.
So you didn’t see this as a suspension worthy by the team, but the rules of the league in regards to no alcohol incidents.
It was the publicity. Any negative publicity towards the team could violate his probation. And it was important with our deal in Tennesseee had to do with a league suspension, not a team suspension.
I was asked all over about why the Cowboys would want PacMan Jones back.
If he adheres to his conditions, that’s pretty impressive. He’s an outstanding player. If he does what the league asks him to do he has a chance to do well in this league in the future. We had a player who came in and played 6 games for us and gave us time to get our rookies ready to play and made up for missing Terrence Newman. He played well for us. He didn’t have a super kind of game where he scored every point for his team, like he did one game in the past. But financially speaking what we got out of it wasn’t’ unreasonable at all. And he’s still very young.
There are loads of young people in your lockerroom who don’t cause any problems for you. So why do you need someone like this?
