Romo's interception question

[LittleBoyBlue]

Romo Underthrew it. Owens Was wide open if he threw it right.

I am a big TO supporter and critic.

All I can say... that play will have success.... just gotta get it right.

remember that romo is still a gambler. he's going to throw int's, but he'll also make some incredible plays. that's why people make the favre comparisons.
to me, he's the least of our worries.
the defense and o-line do not look any better than last year when romo and the wr's were asked to win games.

Lot of truth to that, however, the importance of the third preseason game and it's connection to what happens in the third or fourth week and beyond is pretty irrelevant. Add to that the fact that our #2 WR (Glenn) was out, our starting CB (Newman) was out and we had a rookie starting at OLB, I'm not as upset about it as I normally would. I just hope our OLine looked good.

Oline did not look good it was sloppy had one drive with 2straight penalties followed up by a holding call soon after

They where doing a poor job on getting to the 2nd layer in the running game. The pass protection was on and off against a team that pressures about as good as we did last year

Looks like Romo still has some issues throwing to his left. Take a look at a post I made during the first week of training camp: http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1564757&postcount=26

very astute of you, but to be fair, that interception last night looked like the exact same play we ran for a td against atlanta last year.

He just underthrew it, it happens, alot of qbs overthrow that, he missed it and it is not the end of the world.

Romo also overthrew Hurd as well in the first series to the left. You know Belichick is looking for stuff like this.

I picked that up also. It stems from his mechanics. He is not using his legs and body to throw the ball. He is just throwing with his arm. When he throws to the right, his body is in more of a position to allow him a throwing motion more acceptable for his arm strenght.

When he throws to his left, he just uses his arm and he doesn't have the arm strength or accuracy to do this.

I will say that on the INT, he did use his legs more, but the pass was just to difficult for him.

Combine that with his bad decision making and doesn't help.

there is no doubt, we will know what the book on romo is after the pats game. Whatever it is and I assume it is stunting on davis and flozell and then forcing romo to his left in the pocket to hurry his throw.

Bellichick will show us what his weaknesses are, if he struggles with it everyone will duplicate it.

To be fair I just think that is who romo is a solid player who has some shaky plays, like all qb's not named manning or brady.

He threw a pefect deep out to the left last week to austin.

He is going to miss some throws, that is his nature.

You are 100% correct. And just for the record, I'm not saying Romo can't throw to his left at all. I just noticed that's where the bulk of his mistakes are occurring.

 

[Kilyin]

Not knocking your scientific analysis or anything, but Romo is right handed. Of course he's going to have more success throwing to the right and rolling out right than to the left. You could say the same for any QB.

 

[AsthmaField]

But if the WR runs imprecise routes or QB doesn't throw to the right spot with perfect timing.....passes will get intercepted.

That's what I was thinking after watching the play. I thought T.O. was supposed to do a little stutter step and turn around as if looking for the ball, before sprinting deep. I could be wrong about that, but if he makes his stutter too quick or doesn't do it at all... then he's further downfield than he should be when the ball arrives. And if he's further downfield than he should be... then the CB's are too.

Then, Romo's timed pass will go right to the CB instead of T.O.

I'm not saying that's what happened... but it kind of seemed that way to me. You could tell Romo didn't step into the pass that much, so he definately could have thrown it further...

Perhaps it wasn't supposed to go further?

Oh well, if that happed the coaches will know it and they'll address it.

Agreed.

Disagree. I think you were right on the sentence above.

Disagree. I loved that play. It just didnt work that time.

Exactly. Non-chalantly is what I was thinking... otherwise... TD.

 

[RCowboyFan]

Wow.....we beat the crap out of the world champs and the Broncos, but now we suck because we lost to the Texans???

I guess the fact that Houston was treating this like a freaking playoff game, blitzing nearly every down, and got away with numerous no-calls, does not matter.

Whatever dude, I guess we suck now.

Oh Brother!! Here come the be sane because its just pre-season guy...

 

[CowboyBlog]

I wasn't really reffering to that play. In general he makes some decisions that his arm cant support.

Wow. Sounds like a mom watching her kids pee wee game.

Just because I haven't posted anything for you, doesn't mean I haven't been posting.

You have posted once since the draft, and that was six days ago. Go away.

It doesn't even matter. It's one throw in a preseason game. The point is, that there are things in the passing game that happen to throw off the timing of a pass and we fans don't know who's fault it is.

Do you not think that is true?

 

[AsthmaField]

Wow. Sounds like a mom watching her kids pee wee game.

This is what you said about Romo, our QB position and Quincy Carter this past april:

He is more talented than Romo. I would trade romo to the shreveport team today for Carter as a backup and then sign a starter to play this season.

So don't act like I'm the one not in touch with reality. We've seen your act here so many time, I've lost count. Go back to whatever team is your favorite and try to talk sense in to them.

 

[Crown Royal]

I have been on this forum in the last week arguing that Romo doesn't have the strongest arm.

But the last two QBs who had all world arm strength were living proof that arm strength does not a quality QB make.

For example - Bledsoe had to have Brady start in his place to win a Superbowl, and he could throw a mile. Brad Johnson, the noodle arm, won a superbowl as a starter.

Arm strength = overrated.

That's the only thing I like with Johnson - it's nice to finally have a super bowl winning QB on the roster.
