Tony Romo already attacking offseason

[BlindFaith]

Still meh, to me. Joe Montana didn't have a super strong arm and he managed just fine. Romo, even with his "not as strong lower body" was still the most efficient QB in the entire league last season. Like I said, meh.

That's because Montana was a body thrower and not an arm thrower.

Saw this from VR weight room, Romo looks like he has been doing some back work, should be able to hold up.

lmao...! Those are footballs that he eats.

Again, considering Romo's effeciency last season, it's a non-issue AFAIK.

Well, I think that's better than "ya know"

Which again is better than "Uhmmm mmm uhmmm".

IRVING, Texas -- For the first time since 2012, Tony Romo's offseason does not revolve around rehab from back surgery.
In 2013, Romo had a cyst removed from his back that kept him out of the offseason program, organized team activities and minicamp. In 2014, Romo recovered from surgery for a herniated disc that kept him out of the 2013 regular-season finale and did not take a snap until training camp began.
“This is the first offseason where I’ve been able to kind of get after it this early and be able to kind of improve in a lot of different areas that I think you aren’t able to until you get healthy enough to attack it,” Romo said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday. “I’m just excited about that, really.”

He is already ? attacking it ?!

The OS is now 2 months old. I'd guess he should be way beyond the warming up phase.

Stop playing backyard basketball and hit the gym. So this may be the first season i dont have to watch an overweight QB starting under center.

 

[visionary]

Biggest challenge -- and I don't even know if this is possible -- is can he get to a point where he recovers faster? I know that given the season he had they probably will not veer from the Wedbesday rest thing, even if he could go. But he's got to be more functional on Thursday games... you can't just basically forfeit a game when you are vying for the top seed in the conference. Either that or they need a much better backup.

I think last year was an anomaly with his back surgery
I don't think it will be an issue this year as long as he does not get hurt again

One thing is that Red needs to understand the conceit if resting players when it is meaningless ie huge lead or huge loss or meaningless game etc. Bodies need rest and no amount of slogans like "finish" are a replacement for rest

I think Romo knows what he has to do. Been a starting QB long enough in this league. For a guy who is so called so out of shape and overweight he sure knows how to escape pressure and shows great agility buying time to find his targets.

I hadn't really considered that Romo may be better this season given he'll be healthy all offseason. As rusty as he looked the first couple games of 2014, there's no way he was in any position to really get good practice in during the offseason. In fact, now that it's on my mind I recall lots of reports during the 2014 offseason of him looking pretty rusty and limited. I'm sure that's what played into the team's overall philosophy all 2014 season long of being a run first team.

You are babbling and adding zero value here
If you think Romo played overweight last year, take it up with professional trainers at valley ranch...the guy spends more time there than almost any other player.

He only played in one Thursday game and for whatever reason he decided not to take a shot in that game (which he later started doing again), so I'm not sure I'd be too concerned about his Thursday game performances at this point.

 

[dogberry]

I would like to know what Witten's year round practice schedule looks like?

After last year with Murray, is he working out with group of Cowboys?

 

[CowboyGil]

I for one have no problem with Romo giving his body time to rest from the pounding of an 18 game season before jumping into off season conditioning.

 

[jazzcat22]

Always wanted to have a thinking QB!

Guess that leaves out Terry Bradshaw.....​

Just because he started for so long does not say alot. And just because he can do a spin move does not mean he is in good shape.

All i need to do is look at his belly and his wobbly legs and butt and i quickly realize he did not alot more then throwing some balls during the offseason.

The first game against the 49ers in 2014 he wasnt even able to move. Pro-Romo arguments were that was because he had still back problems and wasnt able to work out enough. But two weeks later he moved like the old Romo. I dont believe in a miraculous healing over 2 weeks. That was just because he did simply nothing during the offseason to get himself into shape. After the 1 game he admited that he did not do enough. How come he could not do enough the whole off season because of his bad back but after one game where it clearly showed he was out of shape he suddenly could get into shape in 2 weeks ? Sorry, i myself was a semi professional in sports and i am not naive. This was not because of his back. He just does not prepares right and i do think because he never did he does not even have the feeling how to do it right. Sure he plays some basketball or some golf in his spare time. But i am not talking about a hobby i am talking about serious workouts to get a professional athlete into shape.

He was able to get thru it without good preparation when he was younger. But now it shows that he ignored workouts throughout his career. I cant even watch him run. He lacks strength in his trunc musculature. Every track&field trainer will tell you that. His upper body isnt able to hold up tension when he is trying to run forward. And it look rediculous when he tries to. His legs are wobbly and arent able to hold up. This does not happen to a guy who regularily does sprint workouts or is in good shape. Look at brees and how he moves. Also 30 lbs less of body fat would help Romo alot.

Sure Romo is elusive in his spin move where he has not to move with his feet. He has a good feel for how to set it up and when to spin. After that he is even able to take a quick sidestep but dont ever force him to run. Wobble wobble wobble ....

I am fed up with a guy who needs 4-5 games to finally get into a shape that he could have had if he did a serious approach in the offseason. It cost us games this year and it cost us games the years before. I am ok with that if it was my third string QB warming the bench. But not my franchise QB whom i am paying 27 mills this year (before restruture). I demand a bit more from him.

I am in agreement somewhat, the back works better with a slimmer body to support, do I think Tony is fat, no. It would be beneficial for him to be on the thinner side vs plumb just in terms of back longevity. Anyone disagree with this assessment? We need several more years of his acumen and presence for this team to transition to its next personality under the leadership of Prince Stephen and Jerry Jr.

Oh...he does the "ya know" thing quite a bit. Irritates me when I watch him do interviews (so I stopped watching).

Also owns the second best QB rating of ALL TIME. Not bad for a fatty.

He didn't look like himself the first month of the season. You could tell that he was still hampered by the back. Still, for an "out of shape" fatty, guy made some terrific plays. He also led the league in passer rating so he must have done something right. Romo hasn't had trouble starting the season as much as finishing it. This last year he and more importantly his TEAM finished it. If not for a terrible call we could have played Seattle at Seattle where we already had won thanks to in part a third and long play in which Romo was BRILLIANT.

Looks like a pic of loaded intestines.

Tony Romo knows what he has to do, he knows his medical situation and for your knock on his condition he manages to get the job done and play at a very high level. You want to act as if you know how an NFL vet like Romo should workout give me a break. Romo takes a lot of BS from the clueless who think they know how to do his job. Give it a rest
