Time for Romo to make good on promise
Posted on 03/21/2011 by torsborn
Had there not been a lockout, the Dallas Cowboys would have started voluntary workouts today at Valley Ranch, according to ESPNDallas.com.
With that said, it’s time for Cowboys QB Tony Romo to make good on a promise he made in the locker room at the Linc in Philadelphia after Dallas closed the dismal 2010 season with a win over the playoff-bound Eagles’ backups.
Speaking to reporters in the locker room, Romo vowed to organize offseason workouts for the offensive players should the NFL and the NFL Players Association fail to reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement.
“We’ll get all of the receivers and tight ends and running backs together,” Romo said. “It’ll get to where if the CBA doesn’t get done (and there is a lockout), we’ll still have a jumpstart. You can’t let the offseason go t0 waste. It’s too important.
“This team has an upside coming forward and we need to take advantage of that. I’ll get with the guys and tell them the importance of it and we’ll get going and make them get out there. It will be fun.”
So far, there have been no media reports of Romo scheduling any voluntary workouts.
The Detroit Lions, meanwhile, have already hit the field.
According to a Detroit Free-Press story that appeared in NFL.com on March 15, a half dozen Lions players gathered that day for two workouts. March 15 would have been the first day of the club’s offseason program, according to the newspaper.
Among the Detroit players in attendance were defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and offensive linemen Dominic Raiola, Rob Sims and Stephen Peterman, a former Cowboys draft pick.
“The most important thing right now is everybody is accountable to the Lions, to each other, to make sure they’re in shape and physically read to go when we do start up,” Vanden Bosch told the Detroit Free-Press.
According to ESPNDallas.com, the Cowboys’ four-month offseason workout program requires that players come in to work out four days per week. The players can schedule their workouts anytime during the week, according to ESPNDallas.com.
Romo said all the right things in Philadelphia. Now it’s time for him to turn his words into action.
