Romo - Brady Pocket Passer

[khiladi]

I've been trying to find the quote about Romo studying Brady, but can't. Does anybody have access to it?

The reason I'm asking is that Josephus mentioned that Tony just wanted to study some habits of how Brady moves in the pocket to avoid the rush, yet, according to him, it blew up into something bigger ruining what made Romo, Romo.

The below thread mentions from Chocolate Lab a 103.3 radio broadcast that Garrett and Wilson were trying to train Romo to stay in the pocket and wait for things to 'open', which obviously never happened.

I'm wondering if the Brady comments by Romo were actually in the context of things like this 103.3 report to fit him into this conception of what Garrett and Wilson wanted for this offense.It seems apparent even if the Brady comment was just that, but Tony does not move in the pocket like he use to, even prior to all his issues with his back. The offense also avoids using Romo throwing on the run, especially in plays like designed boot-legs.

Can't fit a square peg in a round hole.

It seems apparent though that Tony does not move in the pocket like he use to, even prior to all his issues with his back. The offense also avoids using Romo throwing on the run, in using boot-legs.

Romo's reading of the Defense was poor! He threw into 3 man coverage and never called screens when the down field throw was not there. All you can hope for is that this is a one time deal and not the slide of Romo into retirement.

That, I agree with. I'm talking about generally.

Clearly defined targets that are open, will always be an issue with failures.

The atrocity that was Romo last night had nothing to do with him staying in the pocket. The guy was playing scared, locked into his first read, throwing prayers, throwing EXACTLY where defenses wanted him to throw. Missing WIDE OPEN BUSTED COVERAGES.

He was thoroughly horrible yesterday. If not for a garbage time TD, that was his worst game he's every played.

Wish I could be in the film room when Romo watches how bad he was reading the secondary. I love Romo but that was awful.

Again, I already acknowledged that and said this was horrible. I was referring to in general.

That is also what happens when you sit out of practice and you have a new OC. Who made that decision?

Romo needs to be himself. He can escape the pocket a lot better than Brady. The '07 Romo is what he should study.

Still got love for him though. He'll make up for Sunday.

Wasn't the Tom Brady thing in like 2010?

 

[CyberB0b]

The quote you are talking about is from like 2008. Romo ain't Brady.

The above thread I posted was in 2008 and this was really the first year of Garrett having sole control of the offense, once Sparano left. Apparently, based upon the 103.3 report Chocolate Lab posted, their were grumblings in the the players that Romo was being forced to change his best assets.

To quote Chocolate Lab:

Tidbit from the 103.3 postgame show last night... Was going to start a thread on it, but this is a good place for it...

Remember when Romo was so blah on the bench in Arizona when we kicked the FG to tie it up and we were all wondering why? Wally Lynn said he was hearing from people on the team that the reason for the glum look was that Garrett and Wilson had been trying to get him to be more robotic and less spontaneous in his play, and that he was sort of rebelling and pouting because of it.

Don't know if that's true, but it was the first time I'd heard that and it would make some sense.
