Tony Romo on changing plays at the line

[ThoughtExperiment]

Yeah, saw someone saying that the other day and I totally agree. Watch other games around the league and at least occasionally you see receivers schemed wide open with no one around them. That almost never happens with us. It's always something closely contested.

Redskins offensive scheme last year was brilliant. RG3 was throwing to WRs who had 10 yards of open space.

That shit was happening like 5+ times a game too

Romo was on an amazing trajectory before Ginger got here.

Y'all would be saying Fitzgerald sucks if you were Arizona fans. It's a lot more complicated than that for sure. These guys aren't coached at all. Wade Wilson and Garrett are garbage. Tough to really blame Romo at this point.

Garrett contradicted Romo today saying the O cannot let the opposing D dictate the play call. I don't have a problem with that.

What? He did that all the time. Remember the 2008 Redskins game where we had like 60 pass plays and 8 running plays? That was all because of what the Skins defense was doing.

But hey, no surprise this guy is basically throwing Romo under the bus and blaming someone else for shit he used to do himself. Protecting his image is his whole MO.

Its simple either Romo or Garrett and his offensive system must go...and since Romo got paid.....

While I wouldn't put it quite that way, I am getting tired of Romo as well.

It seems at times he's a company man.

Like Jerry, I think he doesn't understand what it takes to win.

You can do what it looks like you think what winners do...but it just comes up short at the end of the day.

Exactly. Parcells gave Romo a list of things to keep disciplined and he is doing very few of those things. Instead, he read Tom Brady's book and thinks he can mimic Brady without Brady's system or coaches.

Parcells always like that Romo could run, and when Romo is fluid and moving, he is dangerous. But he forgets that and waits while his system leaves no one open.

Run the ball. Run the Romo. Win the game.

Romo would easily start for 16 other teams this week if he were a free agent.

Garrett wouldn't sniff another HC job at this level (and FBS) if he were let go. That tells me everything I need to know. If Baltimore and NY can make Flacco and Eli Super Bowl QBs, then I know we can do the same here.

“It’d be silly just to run the ball to where you can’t block an extra guy,” Romo explained. “That’s part of the game. When some people are doing that, they’re leaving Dez [Bryant] by himself.

Oh yea?

So why didn't you throw him the ball when he was in that situation in the redzone, dumbass?

They should have asked him about that retarded audible that ignored Dez's favorable matchup in favor of a 7 yard pass behind the LOS to Williams.

 

[Texas Ace]

I think part of the issue is Romo ISNT good at reading defenses. He audibles into a lot of bad calls, and many times also sticks with bad calls when he should be making a change.

This was obvious about 5 years ago.

The guy isn't smart enough to have this much control of the offense.

 

[Texas Ace]

What's the problem? You don't like him spewing the company line of "getting better"?

Never mind that we never actually do "get better" at what topic we're discussing at that particular time, the important thing is that we're trying.....and stuff.

I think so about the playbook, too. And that's setting the Garrett hate aside for a second.

All those years we had a system where you basically count the defenders in the box and check out of a run play to a pass play if necessary. It was very simplistic. We don't know exactly what the system is now, but it's not like Tony is able to call any play out of the playbook from the line. He's still only checking into one other play, and it's possible that play isn't any good against that particular defense, either. You can tell by looking that our offense doesn't have the sophistication that a lot of others around the league do.

I think we'd be amazed at the difference if we got one of these young innovative offensive minds in here. Not that that's going to happen.

3rd and 5, and I used to think that the play was maybe called for the WR to run a route to 3 or 4 yards, and fight to get the extra yard, but now it looks like defender knows exactly which WR and what route and where exactly he's going to be and gets right there and sit, and waits for the ball to be thrown. It's like the defenders are in the huddle.

Ray Lewis stated that Garrett's system is the most simplistic and predictable offense in the league. No matter how you may feel about Lewis, the question is... was he lying? It's not like Lewis had an ax to grind. He didn't bad mouth Romo or any of the other players, but criticized the system.

And it seems that with each passing year as this team toils along in this system... the worst the offense gets.

Him and his butt buddy Witten are the worst at spewing bullshit.

And how are 11 guys going to block if 1 has the ball? Idiot.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

Lolol. 1 has the ball and another guy is the QB.

Fuck Romo
Fuck Garrett.
