I have just a few points:...Bob great blog as aways. I have just a few points:<br />1) Romo was bad yesterday. Maybe the back, maybe the recivers, maybe just him. I think he was getting frustrated and pressing, putting more on the ball than needed. He was out of rhythm all day. Which was not helped by the following.<br />2) Roy needs to be benched. Period! The passes were not perfect. How often are they? Number 1's catch it regardless. Irvin made his living running the slant, and he made the play, that's why he's the playmaker and Roy is not worth putting on the field. Play Austin(1), Crayton(2) and Hurd(3). Jerry will just have to live with his mistake.<br />3)Garrett needs to be pulled aside and told his ego will not hurt this team anymore! He gets told that we need to run the ball more and throws out this game plan of I'll show you! It's like he was making a statment that he is the offense genuis and he will not be questioned. He needs to be knocked down a few peggs. I think if we have a head coach with any nads, he would have pulled Garrett aside and told him to knock this s**t off!<br />4) Carpenter LOL!<br />Curious for your thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197336788737185743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-15125675270617629812009-11-23T20:56:51.046-06:002009-11-23T20:56:51.046-06:00Garrett did the opposite thing last year vs the Re...Garrett did the opposite thing last year vs the Redskins to the extreme!

Bennett and Witten caught balls.<br /><br />I watched the Bears/Eagles game last night and thanked god I didn't have "pro bowler" Jay Cutler.<br /><br />People that think Romo is a bad quarterback really need to watch what the quarterbacks not named Manning, Brady, Brees, and Farve do every week.<br /><br />Romo isn't THE BEST and will never be THE BEST. But now that he's not turning the ball over anymore he is a quarterback that you can win any game with. He'll always give you a chance to win the game. I'm sorry, but you cannot say the same thing about this wide reciever corps.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886978833709220903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-38927365484626913872009-11-23T17:41:29.056-06:002009-11-23T17:41:29.056-06:00It seems like nobody noticed that Romo played hurt...It seems like nobody noticed that Romo played hurt most of the game. Granted if he can't make throws, he shouldn't be playing, but for whatever reason he was. I don't know if he got something worked out with his technique or if adrenaline kicked in on the last drive, but he did need a shot of painkiller after the game. Hopefully he gets that fixed in a hurry, though.mitthrawnuruodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297273119513545249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-28775130749826212832009-11-23T13:56:39.176-06:002009-11-23T13:56:39.176-06:00I can't wait to see the Garrett breakdown on t...I can't wait to see the Garrett breakdown on this, but it really felt like we missed opportunities with play action. Surely Garrett is aware of how effective this is when you're running the ball well. I hardly remember any at all. I feel like he doesn't really care about the results on the field as it pertains to anyone but himself. It's weird. Was that really a "I'll show you" play calling game? It confuses me.<br /><br />Romo had a bad game. But Roy Williams is apparently not good. Good receivers catch bad throws. Period. That's why they get paid big money. If every throw has to be perfect, you should get paid 3rd string money. Shut your mouth and find some super glue.<br /><br />Defense is amazing. Really worried about secondary health, though. Just survive Oakland game with a win and then let everyone lay in bed for a week.Jay Beerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583354224493886752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-40597893937159069162009-11-23T12:52:47.320-06:002009-11-23T12:52:47.320-06:00Not every pass needs to be a 5-step drop while the...Not every pass needs to be a 5-step drop while the receivers run 20 yards downfield.<br /><br />Slant?

The line of the scrimmage is right on the 1o yard line. Kosier cuts his guy at the 8 yard line and his body rolls forward to the 7, Gurode moves forward to about the 7.5 as Tony is throwing and doesn't engage anyone and it all occurs about two yards in front of the official who is straddling the 7 yard line. Why are you exaggerating about this?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177009291969104992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-15979630298819234142009-11-23T12:16:50.346-06:002009-11-23T12:16:50.346-06:00*Nick Folk: I haven't seen a kick off his foo...*Nick Folk: I haven't seen a kick off his foot that went straight. Even extra points have been heading hard right or left as they pass through the goal posts.<br />*Roy (gator arms) WillieNelly: Is still scared. He doesn't seem to have the ability to make those slight adjustments on the ball when it's in the air to get his body in position to make the catch. He's more worried about the safties than the ball. <br />*Romo: My observation is he doesn't have confidence in his receivers route running. Rarely does he throw on rhythm anymore. He's waiting to see a receiver get separation. Which rarely happens. Plus his accuracy has slipped.<br />*F. Adams: Is so lateral movement limited, he shouldn't be playing. He's giving up way too much on the blind side. <br />*Washington to their credit brought it all game long.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01558689319815934520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-4089758508694572392009-11-23T12:06:36.635-06:002009-11-23T12:06:36.635-06:00I doubt Jerry will admit failure with Roy Williams...I doubt Jerry will admit failure with Roy Williams, but doesn't he have to seriously consider cutting him after the season?

Mostly because he is incredibly inaccurrate. When he's on, he is great, and when he's not, we get the clunker we saw yesterday. It really makes me appreciate Aikman's game all the more. They could run the ball more than most teams, because they knew on 3rd and 6, he would put it on the money to Irvin or Novacek. (Plus it didn't hurt having a HOF RB) Aikman was on of the most accurrate passers I have ever seen. Accuracy is the weakest part of Tony's game. Aikman was efficient. Romo is a volume thrower. (Antoine Walker was a volume shooter remember, so maybe there can be volume throwers at QB?) Maybe that is why Troy took that position during the broadcast? He knows Tony always needs to be throwing to make big plays and Troy really didn’t need lots of throws to drive a stake into the heart of the defense. That being said, no one will ever mistake Roy Williams for Michael Irvin.Iamaspecialbruinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277803143570445095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-68557441333125537972009-11-23T10:36:33.979-06:002009-11-23T10:36:33.979-06:00Bob,
Regarding Nick Folk and his recent misses, I ...Bob,<br />Regarding Nick Folk and his recent misses, I think it should be pointed out that McBriar has been part of the problem. FOX didn't show it yesterday, but McBriar didn't get the laces turned on the PAT. Go back and watch McBriar's and Folk's reactions after the kick. That's (at least) the second time that's happened and McBriar actually took blame for one of the missed FG's earlier this season (was it against your Packers?). I really believe that it's now in the back of Folk's head before an attempt, and it's something they need to get figured out before it costs them a game.<br /><br />--BradMereMoorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558479817502811359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-21794621980694095252009-11-23T10:36:15.104-06:002009-11-23T10:36:15.104-06:00You know why there was such troubles on third down...You know why there was such troubles on third down and why so few passes are completed to wide receivers?<br /><br />Jason Garret has an offensive scheme that has virtually no quick, short routes. Against really good, pressure defenses which Washington is, you HAVE to run quck slants, quick-ins, crossing routes - especially with the slot guy. We RARELY do that despite seeing it executed against us almost weekly.<br /><br />Also, if you send out 3 or more receivers, you should have options at three different levels, another thing we struggle with.<br /><br />A third reason for Romo and the receivers struggle is the inflexible playcalling. We can run the ball - we can pass the ball - and if the plays were called logically, we could do both and everyone would find a rhythm. Instead we get runs or passes in bunches. Its sad and silly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628862998487646364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-24790149776780467032009-11-23T10:15:18.909-06:002009-11-23T10:15:18.909-06:00Roy will not give up the body.

I've enjoyed reading you for many years now, but have always thought you tend to give Romo a bit of a free pass. I'll give it you that you did mention he got outplayed, but still you continue to mention dropped passes? R. Williams bad plays? Yes, he could've made a leaping catch here, but c'mon! Romo was EXTREMELY innaccurate all day long. He was just not good. How do you not complete a WR pass for 3 quarters? That is not scheme, that is Romo. I want to see the guys do well, but way too inconsistent to be considered a top QB. He's not in the league's top 10 right now.Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538911272166811894noreply@blogger.com
