Romo Friendy Offense

[DABOYZ]

Is this the current offense way to Romo friendly? With Romo this team seems to tread water. Without Romo we are drowning. Can a new QB step in and be successful in the current scheme? Time will tell but maybe it's time to build around a quick release QB like Brady or Aikman. I'm ready for the stat that matters.. Winning Super Bowls!

Romo has a quicker release then Brady

 

[Clove]

Romo has a quicker release then Brady

I think he meant to say, make quick decisions and get rid of the ball within a couple of seconds if not less. Romo sometimes likes to hold the ball because of his ability to get out of trouble. Moore makes quick decisions, he just doesn't have the arm.

Way too Romo-dependent.

Romos release is among the quickest in the NFL. So because you're not aware of that .... SMH.

I don't know if "friendly" is the word I'd use to describe this offense.

Antagonistic seems more appropriate.

It's not even Romo friendly.

His ability to improvise outside of the system is what we have lived and died on for years.

I agree with Danny White's analysis on the offense. Garrett is a Saban disciple. And if you watch Saban's teams, particularly his defense...it's very no frills schematically. The idea is to be basic and become really good at those basic schemes instead of being complex and being good at some plays and weak at others. Lombardi was famous for this approach.

With backup QB's that do not have the talent, I think it's important to out-scheme the other team and get some open passes.

But, that doesn't mean it is 'too Romo friendly.' I think a quality QB like Matt Ryan could perform well in this scheme, too. He has the talent to make it work. But a QB like Weeden, Cassel or Moore do not have the talent to make it work.

Green Bay has a Rodgers-friendly offense. Carolina is Newton-friendly. Etc, etc, etc.

Somebody show me the NFL team that went screaming through the playoffs with a backup quarterback.

Anyone?

It's not that.

It's the fact we went 1 and 11 with our backups and did the same thing week after week.

Our coaches showed how much they offer over this 12 game stretch.


It's absolutely disgusting watching us have the same tendencies down after down & week after week.

Totally agree, except with Moore. While not a starter by any means, the kid has something. I do not think it was coincidence that once he came in, the ball started going to the WR group a lot more than it was with Weeden and Cassel. I don't think either one could figure it out pre snap and wasn't quick enough in their decision making to make up for it after the snap so they were left with the outlet receiver to throw to most of the time. For a QB to be effective in this scheme, he must be able to read the D and see the mismatch pre snap. It takes a smart QB not necessarily one with a great arm.

I agree, but it's greatly exaggerated around here.

Lost by 1 to Seattle. Lost in overtime to New Orleans and Philly. Had to play Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Ryan, Manning, Wilson.....

They weren't just missing Romo. They were missing Dez, too. Best two players on the team.

And I'd rather have the No. 4 pick than an 8-8 record anyway.

Somehow Romo dependent started getting called Romo Friendly.

Romo friendly would be an offense that didn't depend on Romo, that helped him out, not the other way around.

Faster receivers and an offense built around getting the ball out quicker.

Romo would have thrived under Shanahan in a west coast system.

Me too but this season confirmed what I've known for almost a decade now.. Garrett offers nothing to this team.

We have minimized Romo's Superbowl chances with Garrett as our coach and with Romo aging it will just get worse.

It's not fair that Romo has had to basically coach and play QB at the same time for us.

Biggest travesty Jones has propagated on Cowboys fans in hiring a coach with two years experience as a qb coach to be our offensive coordinator, and then handing him the reigns on the whole team a couple years after that...

A few of those games we lost due to bad coaching. Time management, not getting the right number of players on the field, not going for it when we should, and punting when we should have tried for a fg... Garrett is a joke...

The problem with that is the salary cap and how close all these teams are.

We're not going to consistently out athlete anyone.

It's not College where you're better than 90% of the teams you play and it's not Pre-Salary cap when you can just buy the best team.

Coaching matters more than ever and Garrett doesn't get that.


Our plan A is usually awful and the difference between us winning and losing usually comes down to Romo's brilliance as an improviser regardless of who we play.

What I wouldn't give to have an offensive master running our offense. Actually think the Linehan is held back by Garrett. I know Detroit did more stuff than this...

 

[Galian Beast]

That's actually why I want Josh McDaniels here. So many highly qualified coaches and we ended up with Garrett... Makes no sense to me.

I don't see much in Moore.

His pocket presence is horrendous. And if you don't have pocket presence, I don't think you can play in this league.
