What's Rod Woodson's issue?

[VACowboy]

Did the Cowboys whiz in his Wheaties or what?

Tonight on NFL Access he explained why Grossman will outplay Romo Sunday night. His rationale was that Rex is a streaky passer, Romo hasn't faced a defense like the Bears' and Dalllas doesn't have the outside linebackers to play a 3-4 defense. They only have three sacks as a team and if Grossman doesn't feel pressure, he'll be hitting Berrian and company all night. That's his opinion and I have no problem with that. But the way he acted when Eisen was leading into the discussion was very telling. Eisen said something about Romo playing better than any QB not named Brady and being a Pro Bowler, and Woodson laughed and rolled his eyes. Then Schefter said something about Romo being very good so far this season and Woodson chuckled again and said, "Well, pretty good." It was blatantly obvious he had a huge hardon for Romo or the Cowboys or something. I'd noticed it before, from months back in the preseason when he always had something negative to say about the Cowboys. Dallas wasn't in his preseason top five teams in the NFC and the past two weeks he's explained why NY and Miami will beat the 'Boys. Don't get me wrong. I could care less what he or any other "expert" thinks about my team, but I'm truly curious as to where this chip comes from. It's huge and it's obvious. The only thing that comes to my mind is that he's pissed because the Cowboys deprived him of a ring.

There is a lot of Romo hate out there. I don't know where it comes from. Some people hate to see good guys succeed. I guess Romo will have to show them better than he can tell them.

I Could care less. He has no outcome on the game, just like anyone who says we will win doesnt.

Saying we dont have outside linebackers is kind of silly though. I think ware is pretty clearly a great player. He could play in any system.

Same thing I said. :laugh2:Comes down to Super Bowl XXX.

I thought it was obvious that he was a Steeler.

Yeh. I don't give a crap, either. He has just been so blatantly venemous, I wondered where it came from.

Far as generic Romo hate, I can understand it. He's a Cowboy. He wasn't drafted. And he's confident.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

His basis for saying we had no LBs was that we only have three sacks. Not much in-depth analysis there.

I almost understand what he's saying about us not playing good teams so far. But what he ignored was that as bad as Miami's record has been lately, their D has been pretty darn good. Ask the Skins how easy their D is.

But yeah, you could tell he doesn't like Romo... He actually brought up a "butterfingers" comment.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

As has been mentioned he played for the Steelers when we won the SB in 95 and he sstill mad at getting owned. He should really hate Neil O'Donnell cause he was the MVP of that game.

He aslo played for the 49ers which is a team that is full of love for the Cowboys.

That being said, if you ar going to be a professional broadcaster you need to leave the petty bias alone and at least try and be objective.

 

[VACowboy]

Yeh, the "butterfingers" snipe made him sound really professional.

 

[sbark]

Just keep reminding him that Larry Brown was the best Def. Back on the feild in that Superbowl

 

[yennor24]

what I hate is early in the season somebody will say they beat two 0-2 teams....Well their 0-2 because WE beat them

It comes from him being the Star QB of the

Woodson's just a laid back dude. There's a reason they seperated him and Jamie Dukes. He's got his analogies and he admits when he's wrong. He ain't buying into Romo-mania right now. Big deal. He's just............ Rod.

It's more than "not buying" Romo. It's easy to tell that he has hate for the Cowboys.

Ain't that the truth. Should've visited a Sints MB last year. You'd a thunk they caught him peeing in the Louisiana water canal.

 

[EPL0c0]

Dalllas doesn't have the outside linebackers to play a 3-4 defense.

Ware must be confused as to why teams have to constantly double-team him since he's not much of an OLB

 

[mmohican29]

where's that "attempting to give a damn"/"unable to give a damn stopping" program visual when I need it.

He might be right about the streaky Grossman vs our undermanned corners. But Romo is absolutely, 100% for real and he'll prove it on Sunday to another national audience.
