Romo's back concerns could be a blessing in disguise

[Section446]

There is no reason we shouldn't be a dominant running team again like we were with #22. Even if they face 8 man fronts. We just need a OC to call running plays consistently again.

I can give you one good reason... Murray's injury history.

Bingo! We need an OC that doesn't tuck his tail between his legs when they do stack 8 in the box.

 

[burmafrd]

Yeah, I never said he has to make up for 'ALL' of the holes of the team, I said he has to make up for deficiencies elsewhere. When you get paid that kind of money, it makes less money available for other positions, so you have to play to an elite level which can hide some problems in other areas.

With regards to the comparison to Elway, the difference is, Romo never took his team to a super bowl, or even past the second round of the playoffs. He has only led them to one playoff win ever. If Romo led the team to the super bowl and the team wasn't good enough to help him win, I would understand where you were coming from with the comparison.

Elways years that Denver got to the SB were when the AFC was weak. Simple as that. As usual you take your psychopathic hatred of romo to new heights as you desperately change history to maintain your fantasy world.

That has always been the problem. You stick with your running game even when it is not working all that well. Now that we have a O line that can get it done there is no excuse at all for not running at LEAST 20 times a game and frankly should be like 25.

I might stand up and do a gig if Frederick and Martin plow up a gaping hole against the 49ers for Murray in Week 1. That may make other fans uncomfortable since I'll be at the stadium watching (lol). It seems like forever since a Cowboys offensive line dominated the interior.

Yeah, and Romo's division is so strong......do you even try to think before you post?

 

[ufcrules1]

He's done that. Romo cannot sustain elite level of play by continually pressing to make plays out of nothing. And when your teammates make stupid mistakes (like the Dunbar fumble against the Chiefs last season) it doesn't matter how well you play.

Thanks for the final word DE. I would say it is interesting you bring up that Chiefs game because I painfully remember Romo ignoring Dez who was in a one on one match up with Flowers in the end zone. The same Flowers Dez had owned all day.
Instead of going to Dez which any elite QB would have done, he audibled and threw a screen pass to Williams that absolutely got blown up and killed our chances of getting a desperately needed touchdown. He never even looked Dez's direction.

Romo has played a role in our team being medicore over the years too.

 

[ufcrules1]

I can't wait until Tony comes out and slings the ball all over the field and all this "he's done" talk is just stupid off-season talk.

I hope he hands it off a bunch.

 

[TwoDeep3]

IF and it's a huge IF Romo is able to return to 90% of what he's been I think his back concerns will end up being a blessing for us.

Finally the actions the team is taking appear to show a real want to increase and better the running game with drafting Martin, trying to draft Turner and signing Ryan Williams.

With these backs and this line Dallas could have the 2nd best run game in the league behind only SF. If Gore goes down, the Cowboys could have the very best which will help in those December games.

Wonder if your take about the positive side of his injury would still be the same if they had either had Donald or Barr fall to them, or they traded up to get either one and not Martin.

I am not suggesting anything about Martin other than I liked this kid. I liked Bobby Carpenter as well, considering the draft he was selected. So my keen eye isn't anything to write home about.

But the team took the BPA at the spot they selected. It happened to be an OL who will now switch positions. Not sure I'd read much into that as far as philosophy change goes.

 

[dstovall5]

They're making Tony into a bus driver, which is the only chance he has to be effective at this point. That said, a bus driver CAN get us to the dance.

A bus driver doesn't throw for 31 TDs and 10 INTs, nor have the 5th highest QB Rating of all time ... Trust me, you don't want a bus driver for QB, especially with this defense. Our defense gives up a lot of points, and when you're down 2-3 TDs at half, a bus driver QB will not get you back in the game. A bus driver QB only works if you have a top notch defense like the 49ers, SeaHawks, Panthers, ect;

No but working out a deal to get Trai Turner does. I don't know exactly of how the deal fell apart but Stephen said last week on that conference call they were going to get him in the 3rd until the deal to trade back up fell apart.

$100 million dollar bus driver. $100 bus.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Some of you guys think romo is gonna crumble/retire after one shot, give me a break. There's no one that wants to prove that Romo can still play at a high level more than Romo himself. And this guy has always been a warrior for us, so don't hold your breath when Romo gets smacked, only to get back up and toss a TD

How committed were they if they couldn't put a package together to get this guy?

I'm not certain the move to get Lawrence doesn't underscore their same attitude of paying too much and not being sold on anything specific.

They had the package done and agreed upon. The team just decided at the last minute not to move.it happens numerous times every year in the draft. Teams think it's done then one of them gets cold feet.

I can give you one good reason... Murray's injury history.

Murray is not a one man band at RB. We have others who can step in behind our dominant OL and make positive yardage consistently.

 

[Rockport]

That's the same thing bro.

 

[ufcrules1]

None even remotely close to Murray's skill level.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I don't think your starting QB getting injured is ever a blessing.

 

[Hoofbite]

Yeah, until teams start loading the Box, and Dare bad back Romo to pass. Then what? Let's not hope for a 90% Romo, because 1 broken play and he gets hit good, it's over.

Which differs from every other QB in what way?

As for OP, there is no blessing in disguise. If it takes a crippled QB to finally instill a sense of needing to run into the coaching staff, then the team has a horrible coaching staff.
