Romo's season ended with Carolina 3-man rush

[George]

A lot of Cowboys couldn't block 3 guys. Pitiful. We are not focused.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Ugh!

 

[cowboyblue22]

its bad team with coaches who don't know how to fix it.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Best oline is football sucked.

 

[Cowboys22]

His injuries are on him. He tries to spin out of trouble every time and when he gets caught in mid spin, he tries to brace himself with his left arm. The defender comes down on top of him with his arm extended and pop goes the collarbone. He needs to learn not to spin if it's too late.

But but this is the best OL since sliced bread.....

Anybody can run behind it and anyone can qb behind it.

Crawford's huge sack at the 1 came on 3- man rush too....it happens.

 

[Bungarian]

Need to get a new OL coach. Probably will do just that thing. Should have kept Callahan.

I know what you are saying is true, but you may wish to review the tape. McFadden is blocking the defender at the line who eventually takes Romo out. We don't stop the defender because he's not our assignment? I really cannot figure this out. I would love to hear the OL explanation on this.

Regardless, the original poster is right. The best O line in football has a difficult time blocking three guys.

I love Romo as much as anyone but he needs to work on getting the ball out faster to preserve himself. Problem is, it isn't natural for him, he likes to hold on to the ball to make stuff happen.

Interesting point, I'm wondering if a timed based offense like the West Coast would help him out?

At this point the guy is going to be what? 36?

He is what he is, and that's a guy who holds on to the ball too long.

So he gets it out quicker to invisible guys who aren't open and he stays healthy and loses every game 30-6.

I don't think Romo accepts that option

In our offensive system, the only way we can actually make any kind of big play is if Romo holds onto the ball and lets the long developing routes actually develop. And even then, a lot of the time it's just him improvising which leads to our offense actually being explosive.

With the atrocious pass blocking, Romo would've never made it out of the Skins, Jets, or Bills game. Since the Garrett era, we have zero answer for the blitz and the Jets and Bills are probably the two most blitz heavy teams.

If he didn't we wouldn't have even have had the small amount of success we've had during these Garrett years.

Well that is on the offensive game plan. We need more quick passes. It seems like we have the majority of our receivers always running 10 or more yards down the field with a single check down. Watch Brady or even Eli Manning, they are in offenses that emphasize quick throws and you rarely see either quarterback taking big hits.

Travis Frederick pretty much said last week that Romo pushes the OL to the brink with the way he holds the ball.

It's a combination of Romo (wanting to extend plays) and play calling/pass routes.
