The Old Romo.. ?

[DA FAN]

I have a question...

As you may have read; Romo kinda changed the way he stands in the pocket. He is kinda imitating Brady, standing tall so that he can see the field better.

My question is, do you think this may be affecting the way he is playing now?

Last year, he scrambled pretty much when felt he needed to in order to avoid a sack, avoid getting hit or just giving himself a little more time to find an open receiver.

Is he still doing this? Do you think he should be doing more if it (like last year).

We know the OL is not giving him the protection he needs, just like last year. Except this year, so far, he is getting hit a lot more.

Thoughts?

You bring up a valid point, but, I am sure the coaches feel it is good

He does seem to be in a predictable spot for the defense. There are alot of times he just needs to take off just to keep teams honest. One of his biggest assets is his escapability in the pocket and his ability to throw on the run. It seems the coaches have coached this out of him so he is more Bledsoe like. There has to be a compromise somewhere.

He worked on not moving up in the pocket but it seems he is more susceptable to the outside speed rush.

He does not seem to feel the pressure as well as last year. Not sure why. A step slower, out of position, focusing down the field too long....

Or is it the OL that has been terrible from the second half of last year on... They throw "look out" blocks all day which will eventually get any QB killed. We really need some of the young lineman to step up and perform.

I think he revert to his old ways if he starts getting hit like he did in the AZ game....

I think he needs to take the best of both worlds. The reason Romo is Romo is because he makes those crazy miracle escapes and makes something happen out of a potential disaster. I don't think I've seen that at all this season.

i definitely want to see him throw more on the run, his ability to extend plays by getting out of the pocket when protection collapses was once one of his greatest talents imo.

absolute truth in these words.
