Bogus photo suggests Tony Romo gained a little weight during the off-season
Cowboys VP Stephen Jones said Romo is “in some of the best shape he’s been in”, and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan agrees. Romo had the most efficient season of his career, with a boost from 2014 rushing champion DeMarco Murray.
At least they aren’t also dealing with a quarterback who sulked while dealing with injury and reported to camp completely out of shape…or did they?
The Cowboys will have a “next-man-up” approach to their defensive scheme, and that’s a great thing with some of the young guys they’ve now got on that defensive depth chart.
When Romo missed 12 games with two separate broken collarbone injuries last season, Dallas’ offense struggled significantly with Matt Cassel, Brandon Weeden and Moore as the backups.
Former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, along with quarterback Tony Romo and cornerback Orlando Scandrick, were not on the Thursday charter flight, but Machota writes that fans shouldn’t worry about Bryant. Bryant’s season came to an end shortly thereafter when the Cowboys made a decision to hold him out once the team was officially eliminated from playoff contention.
In 7-on-7 work, Bryant dove for a Romo crossing pass but it was just out of reach. When it’s time to go, we’ll be ready to go. I’d be embarrassed. They could shoot a lot of holes in my beauty. Linebacker Kyle Wilber knocked Elliott to the ground on one play, but Elliott did his best to keep his motor up all day.
It may seem obvious that the team is focusing on developing players, but you’d be surprised on how rare that is in the National Football League these days.
The Cowboys have time. For the past few years, Garrett has sought to acclimate his players into practice before asking them to put on pads and get into the true competition. “They haven’t been playing football against another NFL player”. I don’t know if he just didn’t care about it or what it was, but obviously, I’m not going to bring it up to him.
