Unfortunately not.

One thing that Romo really needs to work on are INTs in our or their Red Zone. If that little hiccup could get solved, he’d be right up there with Brady and Manning. Last year Romo was 26th in Red Zone QB rating.

12 touches works for me

6-8 runs and 3-4 catches, i’d say that goes for 60-75 yards a game

by mhuff13 on Aug 22, 2008 8:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

Loved what I saw in the first half,

on the defensive side. Other than the touchdown, the secondary is getting close to picking one off, deflecting passes, and mix that in with the pressure the front line. The last drive they stopped was a 2:00 drill scenario and they held up. The O looks darn good.

by cowboy78 on Aug 22, 2008 8:40 PM CDT reply actions  

and we're still pretty vanilla on defense

and we’re still getting pressure with the front four

by Deke on Aug 22, 2008 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

looked good

romo made a bad pass but that’s his game. 90 percent good 10 percent bad. defense could’ve played better but not bad. special teams started bad but played better. i’m encouraged.

by Tuna Helper on Aug 22, 2008 8:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Looking at the replay on the INT, defender only had 1 foot in

it should have been challenged.
