When Romo Steps up in the Pocket...

[aikemirv]

Good things happen.

It is not so much that when T.O gets the ball that good things happen.

I really wonder how many of out big plays in the past 2 years have happened when Romo steps up in the pocket.

It is really amazing when you think about it. I don't know if it is the extra time or just that he sees things perfectly when he steps up but he is amazing!

That is what adds the degree of difficulty when playing the Giants.......they are able to collapse the inside of the pocket....hopefully better if Kosier can get and stay healthy...

with kosier, i'm afraid its one of those injuries that only an entire offseason will heal

True but then Romo has also had some big games vs the Giants. Romo ability to move around be it stepping up in the pocket or getting outside and throwing on the move allows Romo to hit a lot of big plays

give TO credit. Romo's success goes hand in hand with TO there's no denying that fact.

You are correct.


Everybody is giving T.O. the love when in all actuality Romo is the reason owens had a big day. His manuvering in the pocket bought extra time for T.O. to get a step on the defense.

Sure give T.O. some love, but understand that this offense runs through Romo.

one of the reasons why tony should scrap the tom brady imitation - an 'improvement' that made him and the team worse....

very glad to see him moving around again...

I agree. I take nothing away from the day that Owens had it was great but we have seen this team with and without Romo and there is no question how important Romo is to the Cowboys. Right now there are still some throws that are getting away from Romo and hopefully that will come to an end once he gets that splint off his finger after Thanksgiving

Yeah this definitely was a difference maker. When Tony was standing back there vs the Brown's it was ok but once the heat started coming the line folded under the pressure and I think Tony was fighting the sense of urgency you know he was feeling. Maybe why he has a broken finger too.
He has great pocket presence and those little shuffles he can do are a gift.

I was glad to see the return of the real Romo. The guy who moves up, slides around, and makes some throws while on the move.

When watching the game yesterday, Romo was the old Romo from the 13 wins last season - he moved around, got out of the pocket, and stepped up to put some extra oomph behind those deep passes. When Tony is Tony, great things happen.

That's not to say that he can't "stand tall in the pocket" and throw either -- he's made some great throws to Witten and Crayton from there as well. But with defenses coming after Romo the way they do, him moving around is what helps to break down the coverage. There were plenty of plays where the Niners sent 7 guys and all 7 of them ended up either being blocked or laying down 8 to 10 yards in the backfield and all Romo had to do was pick a receiver and throw.

Hopefully he continues to be regular Tony Romo and not the Tom Brady clone. We all see what Tom Brady got for standing tall in the pocket -- I'd rather Romo hurt a little finger than blow out two knee ligaments.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

all it is is Romo giving the WRs extra time to get open

I'm glad he dropped the Brady imitation

 

[Crown Royal]

Agree on all the Brady stuff. We don't have anything that looks like their line.

Neither do they, really. Patriots benefit from having the dump-down pass available to Welker and the deep ball to Moss on essentially a 3-step drop because of his speed.

Sorry, I can't stand to see anyone give props to the Cheatriots for anything

Funny how almost the entire forum picked up on that immediately and doubted wether that would actually lead to better play.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Romo needs to play his game, he doesn't need to pattern his game after anyone (Tom Brady)....

 

[Jimz31]

I've been saying that for a while....when he steps up and throws you can just tell the pass will be right on....even on rollouts, he's pretty dang accurate.

Nice not to have to worry about the play of the QB.....it's been since Aikman.
