Romo Pick Play Commentary?

[links18]

Romo said it wasn't a penalty, Steratore disagreed. So, what's the rule there? It looked like a pick to me in real-time, but Romo said the Chiefs player didn't make contact with the defender gaurding the receiver, but his own defender, so it shouldn't have been called.

Romo is a Mahomes, KC fan it seems. He is always sucking up to Mahomes.

It was a pick play.
KC does that a lot, and disguises it well. So it does not get called as it should all the time.

GB and Philly do the same thing.

It was a pick play.. you cannot press a corner near the ball whether or not you're pushing a player into another.

Man I have tolerance for ex Cowboys who try not to be biased but damn does he say some crazy stuff during our games. And his love affair with Rush was nauseating.

People said romo was biased against Dallas was this true ?

 

[jazzcat22]

Dallas won!!!

Yep, and as my friend says ... you must be good enough to beat the opponent and the refs ...

By that, meaning, the refs will screw up, even if unbiased screw ups for or against either team.

And it was a decently reffed game IMO.

No way in hell.

 

[HungryLion]

OPI is so rarely called relative to how often it happens.

I thought it was a penalty. I saw it before the flag was even thrown and was calling for the flag immediately.

 

[noshame]

you ask 10 different referees If it was a pick play, you'll get 5 and 5.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I wih ŵould run more pick plays. Test the refs a but.

I like pickens doing some slight pushoffs. Do it until the call it.

I would not say he was biased, he was pretty decent, but some of his comments could make a fan question it. Depending on their take.
Other than saying it was not pick play he was actually fair about the QB's.

Except, every time he bragged about Mahomes and how great he was playing, he then would say .. both QB's are playing great.
But he always mentioned Mahomes first before Dak.

It wasn't until lat in the game when Dallas had a 10 point lead before he mentioned Dak 1st.

Very very weak call. We'd be up in arms if that was called against us.

 

[erod]

It wasn't a pick play because he didn't drive to the defender on the other receiver. He just ran into the DB that was already on him. Bad call.

Gene Steratore once pulled out an index card to measure a first down, and he said Dez didn't catch it. He's not to be trusted.

Steratore said it was still a pick play because the receiver essentially became a blocker and drove the defender guarding him into the path of Bland to pick him. That's a little more sneaky way to pick a defender, and Romo didn't seem to understand that it is still a penalty if caught.

He covers KC games often, while he probably pays very little attention to us. Have we even been on CBS this year?

I think he just has more invested in KC right now coveragewise and you could tell that by some of his comments. I don't think he was unfair in what he said. He gave his opinion and complimented Dallas as well. He just wasn't the Dallas homer that some here apparently wanted him to be.

Gene Steratore once pulled out an index card to measure a first down, and he said Dez didn't catch it. He's not to be trusted.

Here's the rule:

Rule 8, Section 5, Article 2 (Forward Pass, Backward Pass, Fumble)​

Prohibited Acts by both teams while the ball is in the air. Acts that are pass interference include, but are not limited to:
(e) cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball.

It seems to me that that is fairly open to interpretation. Worthy made contact with his defender and drove him into the other defender without playing the ball. Worthy did initiate the contact, which was clearly meant to impede the defender on that play. He wasn't trying to get around the defender. He was trying to "go through" him. That's why the ref called it.

Looked like a pick play to me in real time which means it probably looked like a pick play to the refs in real time and that's why you get a flag. Similar to PI.. if it looks like PI in real time you'll most likely get a flag only to go back to instant reply and see it wasn't that egregious. But they usually, with rare exceptions, are not going to reverse those calls after the flag was thrown

Man, I loved the index card measurement. One of my favorite ref moments.

I think too many fans expect their former player announcers to be “pro Cowboys” instead of being professional enough to be honest in their critique. If any team makes a great play they should say it and if any team makes a bad play say it as well.

If a fan wants to hear cheerleader points of view, listen to the Cowboys radio broadcast. And those guys are even more balanced than many home team announcers. The Philly broadcasters are so cheerleader-ish, it’s hilarious.

For years I’ve seen some Cowboys fans blast Troy Aikman for being “anti-Cowboys” which is completely unfair . Troy is a consummate professional. He tells it like he sees it, just as he did in his glory days as Cowboys QB. He had no problem calling out teammates who didn’t meet team standards.

Broadcasters are supposed to first be professional. I think Romo and Aikman do a good job, although Troy is way better IMO.
