Hopefully Romo is watching how Dak is using some tempo. I really haven't missed Romo running the play clock down to 1 second every play.

In the end, this will come down to those two guys and how they handle it. I think both Dak and Romo are great guys and this will all work out just fine. Dak has been saying this is Romo's team the whole time.

But the issue with this is that Dak does not have the full compliment of audibles that Romo does. There is a reason they use all the play clock.

Isn't it amazing how he's judged? I frequent another sports site and it is amazing to me how some of them just genuinely think Romo sucks. Period. It's clear that some people have something against Tony that has very little to do with on the field.

And it's sad because he's been a very good guy team-wise. He's been a very good citizen. Yet, he's vilified like few other NFL players.


This. I've had conversations with random Cowboys fan who think Romo has been holding this team back. You Just Have To Realize That By definition half Of All People Have Below Average Intelligence.

Maybe Romo shouldn't have the full compliment he's been given in the past.

I made a similar observation last week. I think the improved tempo works in their favor. I also think if you make your offense overly check-happy, then you open yourself up to the defense dictating what you're doing and baiting you. There are times when you just need to pound it anyway.

This is something I've been thinking about too. I forget how we all HATE it when Romo consistently bleeds the clock all the way down to 1 second before snapping it. How about after we run a good play let's get the play call in the huddle, get to the line, and snap the friggin football! No waiting, no letting the defense get all their adjustments in, snap the ball and let them try and stop us!!!

With regards to the "don't understand the hate of Romo"... he has a Star on his helmet, that is 90% of it!

I think one can make that argument. However, I really do think you have to let this thing play out due to Dak having 4 starts versus like 150 for Romo. These next two games will be very telling because Dak is going to face some top notch NFL defenses.

i'm starting Dak this week in fantasy so its pretty safe to say he'll probably come back down to earth this weekend and we'll all be asking for Romo again.

The Cowboyss are still the slowest team in the league in terms of running down the play clock in non-hurry up situations. The tempo hasn't changed that much.

Here is my main problem with the constant check downs and play changing.

Romo was usually right and made the smart decision. However, you have too many meatheads on rest of team. Somebody was going to run wrong route or blow their blocking assignment whenever he changed the play. Keep it simple.

Nah. Between Dez and TWill, this team has plenty of brainpower at WR. [/Jerry]

you're killing my superstiousness. It always happens in FF. The moment you take that bench player that's been lighting it up and start him he scores 1 point lol

Tyron is most likely playing, but yeah, our O-line went from deep to paper thin in a frigging hurry. We love you Ron Leary, none of us really wanted to trade you, we was just teasin' a little!

Broadside & crew at dallascowboys.com spent a segment talking about no Smith or Green, sounded like they thought it was unlikely he was going to play.

Why?

Dunbar & Dez not practicing (I gotta think Dez is very doubtful this week... I say it's likely they sit him through the bye-week).

And what's the deal with backs... that is seriously our injury of choice this year:
Romo: Broken Back
Tapper: Bad back... on IR I believe and perhaps his career is in jeopardy
Tyron: Bulging disc causing back spasms... possibly lingering issue all year
D-Law: Apparently he's been fighting nagging back discomfort since camp
Bailey: Bad back made worse by really soft beds at the hotel in San Fran last week (we are working out kickers just in case)

And I think I might be missing another bad back in there... sheesh!

Pats just released Jonathan Cooper... I remember wanting that guy in the draft 3 years ago. I guess we settled for Frederick and Martin instead!

I wonder if anyone will criticize Belichik for tradING Chandler Jones for essentially nothing.

A 2nd round pick isn't nothing... especially considering the Cards pick might be pretty high this year.

Trades like that is what keeps the Patriots reloading instead of rebuilding.

Something happened tonight: This is no longer Tony Romo's team.

This is not a Romo hate post. I, for one, have loved watching Romo and have constantly stuck up for him against the brainless fans that insisted he was the problem.

But this team took a step forward tonight. It took this step primarily behind two rookies, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott. And they took this step with 3 first round draft picks on the O-line (Smith, Frederick, & Martin) and Free and Leary leading the way.

And when the Cowboy's D seemed hopelessly lost with no pass rush, they just so happened to rally the same night our 2nd round draft pick from a few years ago returned.

Something happened tonight... this team just showed us the future. It's improbable and lucky at the same time, but this team is no longer restrained by Tony Romo's longevity.

These are the Dallas Cowboys and they are for real!

The Elliott 60 yard run doesn't happen if Tony is in the game. Herm Edwards was just diagramming why.

Romo will be a great insurance policy when he comes back. Easily the best backup QB in the league.

Agree 100%. Someone was asking me the other day if I'd rather have Wentz or Dak. And I said Dak without question and before the could offer comparison stats and such I explain that it's not just Dak vs Wentz. It's Elliott/Dak vs Wentz because Dak was a 4th rounder. Getting that combo compared to what you usually have to give up for a top qb is a no brainer.
