Romo's Endzone INTs

[khiladi]

The CB, from what I remember, had good position the whole time, even when TO made the cut. That was a bad throw whether Felix blew the block or not.

#81 had 2 steps on the guy. Romo was late on the throw due to the "mow-over" courtesy of Felix.

I'm not going to respond to the other guy. It's like talking to a wall.

Felix did make a mistake which is why he got mowed down. Proper technique would have prevented it. Which is why they teach you proper technique!

Felix failed in his job. If he hadn't failed, the play had a chance of success.

Oh, I agree about the technique. However there's probably a 60lb difference. He may have still gottenn rowed over. Or he may have slowed him down for that extra second. Time will tell.



On another note you've got to be impressed with Felix recognizing the blitz znd picking them up. Well, excluding the Mcginnis one maybe.

Romo screwed up, it amazes me that you can't just admit that. He probably should not have thrown the ball and if he was going to he should have made it a better one. Yes Felix missed that block but Romo still is the one who threw it and had plenty of time to decide to do otherwise...

I agree the kid is very smart, but I've got to disagree with the "excluding McGinnis". He got *******ized more than once. He has to get lower since he doesn't have the weigth or leverage to stop someone that size. He was always trying to block to high. I'm sure they will point that out to him and when we see him against the Eagles (who will send all types of blitz) you will see him take out their legs.

I've been blocked for not shutting the **** up.

I broke this play down already. Feel free to search for my analysis, or I can send it to you for 2.95 canadian.

Romo needs to stop throwing picks in the end zone, no doubt. He couldn't see Owens, he shouldn't have thrown it, and that's the bottom line.

There was also another near interception in the red zone that D'Qwell Jackson simply dropped.

You have to be concerned about it. If it happens in the wrong place at the wrong time, it can cost us.

That explaination already came out. It was a misread by either TO or Romo of the defense. One of them made a mistake, but it is unclear of who it actually was. Since there is timing involved, the throw starts sometimes before the WR makes his break. Once the ball is in the air it's to late to change your mind.

Yep, he couldn't see a clear path to Owens, so he should have thrown it out of the back of the EZ.

It was not so much a bad throw, but a bad decision.

He has done this before, .. he may get better at that but it may be something we have to learn to live with.

Sometimes you have to trust your WR to be where he is supposed to be. Especially on timing routes.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

They never should have been THROWING the ball down there in the first place. It was 2nd & goal & they were already dominating the game. Just RUN THE BALL. Looked more like Romo trying to FORCE a pass to Owens. ( Maybe he had another endzone stunt planned )
As for Romos INT in the Playoff game, he pretty much threw it up in desperation in HOPES that either Glenn comes down with the ball OR the Giants get called with Pass Interference. It was also 4th down & very few seconds left in a game they were losing.

If anything the decision was good and the throw was bad or late, because TO was open and if he flattens out his route the ball is in his hands not the defenders.

As it was if the ball is deeper it is a TD.

By the way - anybody have a video of the play?

 

[Kilyin]

I think it's a little Ironic, that ROMO got the starting job becaues of a horrific RED ZONE int. by Dredsoe.

That was more the cherry on top of the feces flavored icecream. It was a culmination of mistakes and circumstances that got Bledsoe benched.

.

I agree with this. It was 2nd down. Just throw it away in that situation.

 

[dre1614]

It is a problem. For those saying it was Felix fault, well when its the super bowl and felix gets bowled over on 2nd down, would you rather have Romo throw it away or throw an INT?

Thought so

 

[TwoDeep3]

Don't know if this will be important, but two posters on another board - and highly respected posters - stated they were each sitting in the endzone where the pick occured.

Both independently stated the ball was tipped by the linebacker that Felix couldn't block.

When I saw the play I thought the ball was grazed and it changed the flight.

I have the gamne DVR'd and have watched it twice, I still am of the same opinion.

The ball did not change directions horizontally, but vertically. It created a slight arc to the flight trajectory.

Just something I think I observered.

I think we can all stop ******** and whining and put all this "Romo makes horrible decisions in the redzone sometimes" to rest now.

 

[chinch]

He can't seem to shake this. He's coached himself to improve and be accurate and now footwork but in the crunch he's forcing things as you've outlined without question. He's also had a few drops help him.

I don't see it stopping anytime soon, unless the coaches pound the ball (probably a better idea anyways) or throwing to RBs more.

I love the way Romo plays but lately his endzone interceptions have me worried. He has thrown 4 endzone interceptions in his last four meaningful games (not to mention the one he threw against Houston in his final preseason game).

I know Tony says he learns quickly from his mistakes, but this problem seems to remain. I'm afraid if he doesn't correct this it will come back to bite us in a big divisional game or in the playoffs.

I think you've missed a NUMBER of posts here-the ball was TIPPED, TIPPED.

Quit your whining now, please.
