He did say being Romo-friendly meant taking advantage of his improvisation skills and the fact that he’s not a stand in the pocket, drop-back passer. Sounds like Jerry wants Garrett to create more planned roll-outs, moving the pocket…that kind of stuff.

The other interesting thing he said was when asked about Roy Williams only getting two catches a game last year…Jerry said maybe, maybe (heavy emphasis) they need to think about that because there aren’t enough balls to go around and they want Roy to have a lot of balls. Bypassing the obvious joke of Roy Williams having balls…was Jerry commenting on T.O. in that statement? Interesting idea but no follow-up question from Steve Dennis.

I have only watched the interview once but if he answered each question and you feel nothing relevant came from the interview then that is the fault of the interviewer.

He’s just not going to be an open book about it. The thing is, even with all of the double talk he does, you can usually get a general direction of where he is going. I can’t remember a time when Jerry has flat out lied. Based on what has been said this past offseason, I can conclude that he feels Romo is the best chance for him to get a Superbowl, his support has never wavered and has actually grown (Aikman, Staubach, and Jimmy Johnson all think very highly about Romo and I’m sure Jerry hears this). He still thinks that Wade gives him the best chance to maximize the defense (no one else better is available). He’s not going to get into cap hell as he did about 10 years ago. And finally, he’s looking to improve through the draft.

As far as TO goes, I think if a few things fall right, TO is gone. In any case, he probably feels it is a good thing to keep TO blowing in the wind to keep him on his best behaviour. The “Romo friendly” comment let’s him know that if it comes to a decision between the two, he’s a goner.
