Sanchez and McFadden to play a lot Sunday

So much for 14-2

I am really curious to see how Sanchez runs this offense on Sunday. Especially since he will most likely get the backup QB job next year.

Atleast it gives us a look at what Sanchez can do as a backup.

If we were a near full health, especially with Tyron Smith and Leary, then I'd agree, lets go for 14 wins. But the entire left side, and most of the d-line will be out. No point putting risk to players who can play.

This isn't 2007, it would have been more like 2014 if we didn't get this rash of injuries

They are going for 14 wins. Its just that they will be using a ton of backups to do it.

Mixed feelings about Romo not getting any snaps. The last image I'll have of him as a Cowboy will be the Seattle injury snap.

At the same time, Philly would murder him with the injuries we have.

Me too. On both counts.

Prediction - Once the Cowboys get a look at Sanchez this Sunday he'll end up starting in the playoffs.

Don't really see the Eagles wanting to risk players like Cox and Jenkins in a meaning less game either. Most players will be going through the motions by the time the 3rd quarter rolls around.

Heck yeah. He's the highest pick QB on the roster. Those draft dudes are always right.. just sometimes takes awhile. Lol

I don't get that people are more worried about a backup player who's leaving the team getting injured than a player who might be on the roster for several more years?

He will make a terrific gunner.

Tony Romo is a valuable asset. They are trying to protect that asset for trading purposes.

He can play decently if he has a running game that's been his history. A running game with a short middle of the field type offense may work well for him.

 

[TRUTH87]

its total BS from the FO on how they dont think of Romos trading value with this decision of not playing him.

Romo has to be rusty **. you play him in case he has to come in come playoffs.

but anyways. lets see how sanchez runs this offense. im sure he'll wana beat his old team.

Playing Sanchez over Romo makes no sense to me.

Assuming you are correct, then Sanchez should have a good game. McFaddon can provide a good running attack and the short passing game with Beazley and Witten should still be there.

Its going to be a dink and dunk contest between Sanchez and Wentz on Sunday. Sproles may very well be the difference.

Jerry saying they fear playing Romo due to the risk of injury kills just about any chance of someone trading for him. If you want to trade him you have to showcase him and allow teams to see him move around and see where his game is.

playing injury prone Romo without Tyron Smith is a smart move

As I mentioned in another thread this really is a big game for Sanchez. He is on a 1 year deal so any hope he has of returning to Dallas as a backup may very well rest on how he does in this game. I fully expect to see competition for backup with Sanchez, Moore and likely another QB brought in to compete for the job.
