Romo Didn't Like The Call

[FuzzyLumpkins]

It doesn't matter if Dez dropped it. Yeah, that made me mad, but there's no reason to throw it twelve yards down the field on 3rd and one yet always seemingly have your receivers run four yard outs on 3rd and six.

That's idiocy on the coaching staff.

What were the other routes run on the play. Cassell threw it just short sure but were there more routes downfield? If you cannot answer this question then why are you making such statements? You are speaking from a position of ignorance. If most of the routes were farther downfield and he went underneath it doesn't say what you think it does.

Cowboys are 2-7 and the worst losing record in the NFL 3 weeks running. ... wait for it....wait for it.....DAL-LAS SUCKS!


Head Coaching is a huge need here, and leadership is just vacant without Romo in the lineup. Nobody stepped up enough to win, is that the Coach or the Team? It's BOTH!

 

[boyzjunkie]

What good is the OL , if we can't pick up and 3rd and less than one, by just running . Even a QB rollout and keep or QB sneak would have done it, when NE can do it with TOm freaking Brady why can't we use it with Matt cassell ???

Cause Cassel and Brady operate in two completely different worlds?

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this team in such disarray. Except for Romo and Witten, there's really no leadership on this team. I was hoping Hardy could be a leader on D, since Scandrick went down, but he's becoming more of a distraction than anything. Garrett and his staff have been a huge disappointment too. My biggest disappointment this year has to be Dez. While I've always liked his fire, he's become a "do as I say and not as I do" type player this year. He's also a distraction. Dez, if you're going to talk the talk, then walk the damn walk. Don't ask teammates to give 100% and then lay an egg come game day. You killed this team yesterday with your drops, and quit expecting the refs to throw flags to bail you out of your LAZY plays. Now STHU and play football.....

Murray was a leader.

Dez is not. not yet at least. Im not sure if he will ever be a leader. Im not sure he knows how.....

I feel you Romo, most of the time I am shaking my head as well at the play calls.

Cant wait for Romo to totally throw out the scrub playcalling of Garrett and Linehan and just call plays from the line.

Romo drawing plays up in the dirt >>>>>>>>>>>Garrett and Linehan staring at their play sheets for 5 freaking mins.

He'll definitely coach in some capacity. He's too competitive not to.

For all the bad Jerry did, when he questioned his work-ethic and asked him to put in Peyton Manning hours - suddenly something changed in Romo. He went from athletic guy that can make plays - to assassin that slices up anyone he plays.

Maybe coach for his kids teams, no way he commits to the time it takes to be a NFL coach

I am talking about calling plays in general that don't rely on making a play twelve yards down the field for a third and one.

 

[SultanOfSix]

To me this is just another Cowboyzone judge the play call but the results of the play thread.

If your going to say that they should "consider the QB and his rapport with the receiver" then the call was perfect because Cassel hit him right in the hands.

We always complain here that the play calling is too predictable when the play doesn't work. When we do something unpredictable and it doesn't work we say we should have done the predictable thing and run between the tackles.

If we could do that play over and I know we could hit Dez in the hands like that I would do the same thing again every time.

The entire problem with that play was that Dez dropped the ball! Not the play call.

Rapport is a minimal concern, and predictability has nothing to do with it.

That's where the primary disagreement is. There's no reason to call a non high percentage play on a 3rd and one especially when the offense is sucking balls the whole day. There are a multitude of other plays that could garner one freaking yard without relying on a back shoulder throw.

Linehan relies on attacking multiple places on the field. He is going to attack short deep and intermediate and he designs his crossing routes. Again just because Cassell threw it there does not mean that there was route run to your ideal. At the end of the day the playcall got a wide open receiver past the sticks.

You guys are just looking for a reason to complain.

 

[DFWJC]

He re-learned to like (more importantly, trust) the run game and line last year.
If it wasn't a run, he would've liked Witten there, I guessing.

BTW, he almost certainly would have checked out of that stacked and obvious run play late in the game though. he also would've adjusted protection for the blitzes.
I don't blame Cassel though; the guy wasn't even here until few weeks ago.

A 2-7 record gives us enough reasons to complain.

Well, there really isnt a need to "look" for a reason. Its raining reasons....falling right on top of everybody

Then why make unfounded claims then? You don't need them supposedly.

Hey, no coincidence that the offense really hums sometimes late in games when the sideline play-calling ahs clearly been thrown out.
Those last two drives vs the Giants (and even without Dez) early this year where comical. Knife and Hot butter...

I didn't make "unfounded" claims.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I didn't make "unfounded" claims.

You cannot even describe the play beyond one route where the receiver dropped the ball. It is absolutely unfounded on anything substantive. Your emotional disposition doesn't count.

Clearly? Romo has speakers in his ears. Only thing clear is you have no idea the nature of that communication at any point.

I feel you bro, it is almost comical watching the comparison between Garrett and Linehan calling plays and Romo calling plays at the line.

Jerry should just tell Romo to call whatever the hell he wants at the line and just ignore Garrett and Linehan.

Not gonna argue with you on this Fuzz.
If you don't think that Romo dictates the play-calling and formation in the 2 minute drills, that's your right.
