Video: Romo sounding very determined... and annoyed.

[dmq]

Being determined can't make you see things on the field that you previously couldn't. Only experience can do that.

Im not hating on steve dennis. Just simply saying he has been running around on tv and radio calling tony big name not big game.

I know romo hears that, and it must drive him nuts.

So he should do something about it in a positive way then, like not throwing 3awful picks in the opening of that awesome stadium against a division rival that we should have beaten due to their injury situation.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He must, because you can't hide your disdain for him. Heck, even when we are moving the ball like crazy and putting up 30 point games you can't give him an ounce of credit. Call it what you want, but I say you, for right now anyway, are only capable of one view of the guy. And honestly, right now I guess I'm so turned off to Wade Phillips that I really don't think he is the answer at head coach. That is all that I meant by the comparison.

What I have disdain for is people acting like points are all that matter. Why wasn't Mike Martz a great head coach? Why not hire Mike Leach to coach us? Because turnovers are so huge. It's about more than throwing the ball all over the yard as much as possible. You have to manage the game and your QB and give your defense a rest, and I don't see him understanding that yet. I really hoped he would after last season, but I don't.

I've said it before, but would a 40-point, six-turnover game be a great game by the offense? A lot of people would say yes, look at the points. I say no, and I bet Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells would agree. In fact, I know they would.

Now to be clear, I don't hate Jason Garrett and I don't blame him for every mistake on offense. How could anyone hate him? He's on our team. And he's a pretty neutral, blah kind of figure anyway. I watch all the Special Edition and coaching shows every week, and all I ever see out of him is that little smirk and a monotone explanation of what he sees on film along with plenty of cliches like working hard every day and squeezing the blood out of the rock and so-and-so is a heckuva football player. On game days, what I see him doing is standing calmly making play calls and sitting with Tony on the sideline looking at the still photos. That's it. He doesn't even show enough personality to have strong feelings about him one way or another.

And that's another reason I think people must be putting way too much emphasis on the fact that he backed up Troy and his dad was a scout here. Those things mean zero to me, and I don't see why they mean anything to anyone else.

So I hope he learns, and I hope he's the wonderboy everyone thinks he is, because I think there's a fair chance he's going to be our next head coach. So far, I don't see it. Nothing wrong with me saying so, either. It's not like he makes me ill everytime I see him. Good grief. I feel bad for you if that's the case regarding anyone on your own favorite team.

that put a huge smile on my face. Jimmy rules

so I take it we're rockin the throwbacks on Monday?

yeah they practiced in the throwbacks so they must be wearing them monday night.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

yeah they practiced in the throwbacks so they must be wearing them monday night.

So we aren't wearing them against the Chiefs when they wear their Texans unis?

Don't they sometimes practice in the throwback hats a week before the game they'll use them in? But this is two weeks, so that would be really strange.

good point. I know that game is the afl throwback game we are playing in.

It would be weird to wear them two weeks in a row. so that must be it.

I love having Romo at QB. I don't know how much success he will have by the time his career is over but I don't have any doubt that the guy wants to win and will give it his all. He will continue to make mistakes but hopefully they won't be the same ones. ie. If he throws a pick then I at least hope that it will be because of something he hadn't seen before rather than making the same bad throws into the same coverage. I believe that he is trying to protect the ball more but that doesn't mean that there will be no more turnovers. We'll know he's making progress if they become fewer.

I think the guy has a good head on his shoulders and loves football. His upside potential is huge and I want to see it realized in his career.

 

[NextGenBoys]

What the hell? Garrett doesn't make me physically ill. That's ridiculous. What a silly thing to say.

To be honest, I cant understand any of the Garrett bashing this year.

Not meant as an attack to you Lab.

 

[Hostile]

I can't for the life of me figure out why so many of our fans dislike Romo or are down on him. I really don't think I want to know either. Something about thinking like crazy people bothers me.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Not taken as an attack at all.

Parcells wasn't bashing Romo when he told everyone "Put the annointing oil away", either. But that's all I'm saying regarding Red Jesus.

 

[rcaldw]

My point exactly, but I'm dropping it. Lab is definitely touchy on this one, and as I've already said, I like Lab's posts and find myself agreeing with him most of the time. Enough said by me, and I'm gonna just be quiet about it. You don't keep calling someone names (Red Jesus), and notice their smirks, quirks, and all if you don't have a pretty healthy dose of attitude toward them.

I've said it once and I'll say it again; Romo has so much raw talent and ability, and if he put the time in with weight lifting and nutrition, the sky would be the limit for this guy. He doesn't take care of his body. If you look at Romo when he started his first game against the Panters in 06', he looks about 20 pounds lighter. That's when Romo had great scrambling ability and could make more plays with his feet and presence in the pocket. When was the last time you remember Romo making a great play with his feet on 3rd down? It's been a while. Romo isn't exactly a spring chicken in football years either; he needs to start taking care of his body.

just wanted to add archer confirmed, like CL said they were just practicing in the throwbacks thursday and friday for the chiefs game.

why are they doing that this week though?

The QB draw for a TD against the G-men was pretty good.

 

[TheSport78]

The QB draw for a TD against the G-men was pretty good.

That was a great call by Garrett and Romo executed it perfectly, but I was talking more about Romo making plays with his feet when the play isn't there. I actually remember one point in the Giants game where Romo could have ran for the first down but decided to force it to Crayton I believe.

 

[Hoofbite]

So the circus is headed to KC.

well i say hostile, like i have posted several times, i know that no person is alike or plays like another for example the qb

but eli manning at about his 50th start in the nfl turned it around, the light bulb went on and he became a very good qb

romo is at his 41st start, so give romo alittle more time
we have some games where he can gain ground and learn
panthers game, oakland game, so give it some time
hopefully my biggest concern is the defense, the pass rush and our cbs and safeties

and you know who coaching the defense

 

[cowboyjoe]

oh yeah, we have scored 30 points the last 2 games right

and sunday night we scored that many on the very good giants defense so we must be doing something right on offense

still needs improving sure, but hope is there, but our defense i am worried about

Not scrambling has more to do with Romo's mind than his body. He has decided that staying in the pocket is better. His diet and exercise regimen won't change that.
