All T.O. said in a private meeting with Jason Garrett is Romo should examine all the options on the field for a passing play because he and others were wide open on certain plays (but Romo threw into areas with heavier coverage when T.O. had man coverage...primarily in Witten's direction). That's it. The rest is all media. He didn't b**** out Romo or yell at anyone. He was merely pointing out the fact to Garrett in a one-on-one meeting that he was wide open in a few plays where Romo wasn't looking his way to determine who the open receiver was. The idea is for Romo to deliver the ball to the open receiver...which he didn't do well at the end of the Steelers game. As it turns out, the Steelers defense was paying attention to Witten as well. If you look at the INT play and the last pass play for the Cowboys in the Steelers game, then you can see T.O. has a valid point because Romo was only scanning one side of the field. The INT he threw, which went back for a TD for the Steelers, was thrown to where he expected Witten to be but Witten botched the route. The last pass play...Witten was running down field and Romo threw it to him...and Witten wasn't even turned around looking for it. Meanwhile, you got T.O. and Crayton on the other side with man coverage and them basically wide open haven beaten their man. Romo was not doing a good job of scanning all the options on a few of those last series' plays. The rest of this BS about T.O. criticizing Romo for loving Witten too much is media BS. Supposedly, some anonymous Cowboy was ragging on T.O. as not a team player and trying to create a problem between Romo and some other receivers. But, that was likely a bunch of BS. I bet some reporter made that up to get a controversial story going. Think of it this way...noone will care anything Cowboys after this weekend if they lose to the Giants because they will likely be close to...if not...eliminated. And, since Brandon Jacobs isn't playing, there is going to be some heavy criticism if the Cowboys lose this one. Then, there will be nothing left to b**** about until next season. lol
I was in my car for a few minutes this morning and Jim Rome played the tape of TO crying to the media ("That's MY quarterback, SNIFF, SNIFF!") when they pounced on Romo for their playoff loss to the Giants. Now Mr. Manic-Depressive can't even go and talk things out with Romo. When asked about this, TO said he only talks to Romo on game days. I so much hope the 'Boys lose on Sunday just to see the fireworks. TO and the Cowboys deserve each other. Real-life drama is the best.
The Cowboys meltdown has been hilarious. I mean who would have seen it coming? It takes Pacman all of what? 1 month to go Pacman... Romo gets injured and sends the team into a tailspin... Felix Jones goes out for the season... Marion Barber gets injured and Jerry Jones basically calls him a p***y and gets away with it, while Jim Zorn gets ripped to shreds by Clinton Portis on a local radio show and then ZORN ends up apologizing to the media (wtf?) Now T.O. is causing tension and about to throw his QB under the bus yet again, whining about "Witten having more receptions than me" Jason Garrett the supposed next Head Coach is drawing fire for holding this "Secret meeting" All thats missing is Tank Johnson taking a baseball bat to a stripper's face and this would be the perfect season.
