More from the excuses column. I’m not buying into this whole deal of why the run was abandoned. Now Romo gives his two cents, and it just aggravates me more. He basically says there wasn’t any production early…more excuses. We’ll move onto the Bengals game after this post, but this has to read:
“When you run the ball, you’ve got to see production,” Romo said when asked about the Cowboys abandoning the run. “If a team doesn’t have a very good quarterback and he’s not connecting on passes, you’re probably not going to keep on throwing. The production wasn’t there in the beginning, so we had to throw the ball there in the beginning and we didn’t connect on the third downs.
“We had too many three-and-outs. They weren’t giving us good looks. Too many situations where we were used to getting a lead and then we would give Barber the ball and it adds to the stats. When you’re trailing, that’s one when you get three-and-outs. You’re not extending the drives.”
So much for the theory of letting Marion The Barbarian and the Cowboys’ massive offensive line wear down opponents, huh?
Phillips said that Romo does exactly what the coaches tell him to when he comes up the line. And the coaches will tell him to hand the ball off to Barber a lot more often than last week, whether he sees an eight-man front or not. (DMNBlog)
Sorry, but that’s dumb to me. So, if this happens again, can we expect the same senseless panic and lack of passing accuracy from Romo. Where’s the accountability in this deal. We better see a balanced attack against the Bengals, and Felix needs to get the chance to run for the change of pace, that really hurt us. Nothing was working, why not try it, what was the worse that could of happened? Alright, Im moving on. Thoughts?
