I don't need Strahan to tell me what happened on that play or what could happen.

Go back to the Bradie James play where he blitzed cleanely up the middle and came with total abandon at Eli. Once very simple sidestep by Eli and James was totally out of the play.

How much moreso with Romo back there. Unless that QB is hemmed in (and Romo was not) with no place to go rushers must come at him under control or he will elude them.

McQuarters was right to do what he did. It almost got them a pick.

And yeah, Romo is awesome at avoiding the rush, looking off defenders, disguising what he's really going to do. We saw a few more textbook examples yesterday.

I think you do.

I gave him your email address.

:D

I still can't get over how different the team is with Romo at QB. Said it all along that Bledsoe was too easy to defend because the defense knew where he was going to be on every play.

Super lucky would be the 2 passes that Eli should have had picked. Super lucky is that the Cowboys did not see Tiki fumble the ball. Super lucky would be Kiwanuka fumbling the ball back.

The pass by Romo to Crayton was perfect placement and would have been a spectacular int. There is no way that is super lucky!!!

it wasn't lucky from what i saw... the camera angles were screwy and they panned like he had the INT based on how he lunged for it. it grazed his finger (one camera angle showed it) and Crayton made a great play (as he usually does when thrown the ball). i dont' see how he would have interecepted it condering the defender is not a WR.

I actually thought he had picked it off...
I need HDTV I guess.
yup... and large (my screen is 106" hehe). the HD feed of this particular game was horrendous though... alot of artifacts and such from teh digital additions (lines and arrow on the field) :)

He went on at length about how they didn't feel Romo was as good in the pocket...he even made a comment about the possibility that his lack of height might be part of it.

And he was a jerk about the media thing. Once again, it was the media's fault for taking his comments...word for word...and repeating them.

:rolleyes:

funniest comment of the game came from the pre-game where Joe Buck was going through the injuries. He said Strahan wouldn't play because he aggravated his foot injury by sticking it in his mouth.

Haven't read that anywhere. Seems to be accurate no matter where he's throwing.

I think Strahan was saying that about the last throw to Witten. Which I agree with him on that play since Witten was less likely to get open if Romo was still in the pocket.

The problem is that the reporter was quoting him directly. Sorry, but Strahan you came across looking like a fool.

...this is more a gameplan and impression comment rather than one based on fact.

I'm certain the defensive coordinators talked to the Giants' DE and asked them to watch out for Romo's ability to break containment. Their feelings may have been watch this guy when he breaks the pocket he has a knack for fiding the right receiver on the run.

Those are often backbreaking plays and may have led him to comment on how accurate he is outside of the pocket because he has burned a few teams on those types of throws.

I haven't looked at stat analysis to see if this was true, but my impression of Romo is that he is good at breaking containment and finding a receiver on the run. I think that is why Bill says he has a bit of the "gunslinger" in him. He's often looking to run the play as it unfolds and not how it was designed.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed a bit of gameplanning from the Cowboys against the Giants.

The empty back set forced the Giants to play the pass and commit to either a pass rush or pass defence. It gave Romo much more time in my opinion to make a play by scrambling around and buying time.

In the fourth quarter I felt there must have been alot of frustration from the Giants sideline as the Cowboys went to the empty set. At that point they must have wondered if they defence the entire field from either a bootleg, a quick pass, a QB sneak or either a straight three or five step drop.

Romo's mobility is creating some opportunities for this offence.

I'll agree with you there, because against the Panthers, Cardinals, and Colts he was in the pocket most every play, and threw the ball well in the pocket

Buck won me over forever when, while accouncing a ball game with McCarver, the two had a discussion about people who we know by first name only...staring with "Ichiro"...then McCarvers said "Cher"...and Buck said "Elvis"...and finally Buck said "Abby someone..."

Done.

He didn't say Romo was inaccurate throwing from the pocket. He said he was MORE accurate outside the pocket.

Actually that makes sense to me. Especially after re-reading it within that context.
