Tony Romo "Looking Good" Throwing The Ball In Practice

Romo wore a special glove on his hand during the non-throwing portions of practice yesterday. The glove is used to further decrease the swelling on his hand. And while the Cowboys officially listed Tony Romo as limited in practice on Wednesday because of his bruised right hand, Romo was able to throw the football well:

  • "I couldn't tell any difference than normal," tight end Jason Witten said.
  • "I couldn't even tell he was hurt," receiver Laurent Robinson said. "He had a lot of speed on the ball. He looked good. He's looked good so far and he'll be ready for Sunday."
  • "It seemed like he was able to throw the ball OK, but he still needs to make some progress with that thing," Coach Jason Garrett said. "The hand is still swollen."
  • "We gotta have him," linebacker Bradie James said. "I mean, there's no way. You don't have a chance without him. Everybody knows. Even when he went down this past game, you could hear the air in the stadium go out. So we've got to have him out there."

Star-divide

In a conference call with the New York Media yesterday, Tony Romo said he expects to play on Sunday. Here's an excerpt of the Q&A from the Star-Telegram:

Q: Do you expect to play?

Tony Romo: Yes, I expect to play.

Q: How is your hand feeling?

Tony Romo: It continues to improve day-by-day. Today was good. I was able to do some things with the ball that we weren’t sure about so it was a good start to the week. We are going to keep working on it and get all the treatment and stuff. We should be good to go for this weekend.

Q: How much has this season answered questions about your toughness?

Tony Romo: I think when you play quarterback in the National Football League, you have to understand that you are going to have bumps and bruises throughout the way. Every week is important and you just have to go out and play. That is the way you have to approach it. I love competing and playing and that is why you get out there and play every week.

I would be surprised if he didn't play.

Like the above quote says, without him everyone knows we don’t really have a chance.

Yeah

you saw how the team deflated after he went out last year, and even last week. James isn’t kidding. This team revolves around Romo.

I'd be shocked if he didn't play...

in fact, he’d have to be dead in order to be kept out.. and even then I could see him finding a way.

what a game this will be

i almost don’t want to think about it now, I’ll be so anxious by the time it gets here… but Tony will be fine, what’s a few broken blood vessels on your hand when you won games after puncturing your lung! Despite being only 16 games there are so many ups and downs in an NFL season that by this time, September and October fade in our memories and recent impressions stand out. But let not any true fan forget how Romo has already proved himself one seriously tough and resilient S.O.B. playing through that rib injury. He didn’t score one TD in the first Skins game, but he still willed his team to victory through intense pain that week. He was physically limited but he demanded from the rest of the team what was needed to pull that game out. That isn’t reflected in the stats, but that may well have been one of the best games of his career. That was where Tony Romo the supreme competitor and leader was on full display, even when Tony Romo the supreme athlete was physically limited. No one can do that every week. But no one should ever, ever doubt his toughness again. And if they do, they are a damn fool with a short memory.

I have no doubt Romo will not only play this week but play at a very high level… the game depends on whether his teammates especially on the other side of the ball can even come close to matching when he gives to this team.

if the OL doesn't play well or if the defense can't get a couple stops then it doesn't matter who's playing QB.

Qb’s get to much credit when they win & they take the lions share of the blame when they lose. i think both teams know what there going to get from the QB position & its obvious neither can carry the load without some help from the defense or OL.
a running game would be awesome also & its 1 more chance for Felix to show he carry the load when they need him. this offense took a nose dive when Murray went on IR & i can’t wait to that kid next season. i also hope Dallas can resign Robinsion when the season ends before someone else snatches him up.

Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth. Sean Lee is a welcomed addition at ILB & Kegabear's prediction about Spencer looks spot on so far.

I'm all for

crowning Romo a tough Sumbich but there’s a huge difference between being able to tolerate (with injections or otherwise) the pain of a rib injury and being able to grip a football the way you have to to effectively pass in this league. I fully expect that his hand will not prevent him from starting, playing, and playing well but I also fully expect a few balls to sail on him. Let’s just hope the ones that sail don’t get a receiver knocked out over the middle or fall incomplete on 4th and 8 with 37 seconds left on the clock and needing 20 yards to get into the Darth Zone.

I know its the truth, and I know that the majority of NFL teams are the same way.

But damn, for one of the team’s defensive captains to actually admit that they don’t have a chance without their starting QB…ouch. To me that’s one of those things you just leave unsaid and rally around the backup guy.

It's not the player but the system

I think Landry would have benched him for saying that. Either that or made him the waterboy at practice all week.

Remember, when Staubach decided to retire he said that they would continue to be successful despite the player changing, the system would continue to be successful.

The Cowboys are a system, a team, they will be successful as long as they continue to focus on each game, play or drive. It doesn’t matter who is at each position, it matters that everyone is prepared to play, whether or not they get enough reps in practice.

Romo won’t get his reps this week, Stephen will get more than he usually does, both need to be ready.

Difference is Danny White was a very good qb

Exactly what I thought

I’m not saying he’s wrong. but I’m a fan, its ok for me to think we have no chance without Romo. The team has to have a mentality of “everyone else needs to step up and rally around our young QB”. ESPECIALLY a team leader like Bradie, who should be making sure the young players keep a positive attitude.

Hopefully this is something we hit on in the draft.

We really could use a real backup QB here who will one day take over in about 5 years. Hell of a grooming period but hey I think Romo will last that long.

due to the injuries he sustains. Romo gets pummeled all the time back there, it’s no wonder he’s got to scramble so much to keep the play alive and buy time. I often wonder how geat he could really be if he had a potent Oline like say Brees.

up just this season alone not to mention his broken collar bone last season he’ll be lucky to play @ an all star level within the next 3 seasons not because of his inability to play but because of his health due to the guys in the trenches, seriously this oline needs to shape the f’ up.

Eli Manning would have MVP votes..

How the hell is that possible when Romo has had a better season?

They say we’ll manning had to deal with bad defense, so has Romo

They say Manning had to deal with WR injuries, so has Romo.

They say Manning has led come back wins, so has Romo. And done it playing with broken ribs.

They say well Romo lost 2 games for the Cowboys, Manning threw 3 picks against the seahawks and the game losing one, also threw 3 against the Skins in a blow out loss.

Romo qb rating, qbr, TDs, less ints all better than Eli with the same record. Again I do not understand the dislike and obvious bias toward the guy its ridiculous.

And enough with this trust thing. Geez I hear Lomas Brown say will JG trust Romo in crunch time to throw on 3rd n 4? No he’s gonna trust Chauncey Washington even though Romo has protected the ball better than any QB in the league since the Detroit game. But Eli goes scotch free and get MVP consideration after completing 9 passes and throwing 3 ints.

LOL, Giants and Cowboys are so similar it's not even funny

I doubt any Giant fan feels the national media loves Eli, Fundamentally these two QB’s are in the same class, but here is the diffrence untill Romo leads the Cowboys on a playoff run he will be viewed as a very good QB that is not clutch, yeah I know it’s unfair but Eli would get no love if he didn’t prove his critics wrong, Romo has yet to do that

A Cowboys win on Sunday will go a long way to helping Romo get the respect he deserves, however if he looses no matter how well he played everyone is going to say see he just can’t get it done in a big spot.

That's football

To the national media, the difference came down to Romo missing a wide open WR to seal the game. Next possesion Eli drives the Giants down to take the lead.
Now we all know Romo played great it was not his fault but missing that reciever to seal the game just adds fuel to the National media’s theory that Romo is not clutch.

Romo still has work to do before he will be recognized as one of the great’s of the game, he plays in Dallas wich means unless he wins a Lombardi nobody is going to think he was that good.

Tyron Smith and Sammy Morris mistake

Babin ran a stunt and that overloaded the middle… Morris took the late blitzing SS, which Smith should have, Morris should have taken Babin. Cole also got pressure, but those are plays that Demarco always makes.

They will say he is not clutch only if he has a chance

in the fourth quarter to lead the offense down the field to tie it or win it and fails.

Like in the Jets game people point to the blocked punt. Yes that was a crucial momentum changer. And defenses, special teams, etc., can put a QB who has played a good game for three quarters in a difficult position at the end of the game.

But when a QB has a chance to lead his team down the field to tie it, or win it, and he not only fails but fails with a TO? That’s when everything that led up to that point doesn’t really matter. What matters is, can the QB take his team down the field, with the game on the line, and get his team in the end zone. Turnovers at that point, when they are the QB’s fault, are just that, the QB’s fault. Meaning, he failed in his opportunity to deliver when it matters most.

Interesting how... when he had broken ribs everyone said there was no way he would be effective

Now, the injury is his throwing hand and everyone is saying he will play and assume he will be effective?? Well, good luck with that… Stephen needs to pick up Tony like Demarco picked up Felix and vice-versa.

Warner played with a fractured hand, he was terrible and they lost the game because of it. If you’re from the Hartford area you may remember the story of Ron Francis playing with broken ribs and other injuries in the division championship series. They lost albeit in OT in game 7 but he was not very effective when they needed him. I broke my hand in the 1st game of a regional hockey tournament and when we won the 1st game of the finals I went back and got my equipment to play in the final game. I tried shooting with and without the cast and both were useless, I believe Garrett said Romo was limited in practice because of “how functional he is with that hand”, its the same thing I had, it was swollen for about 3 weeks afterwards and I didn’t play again for 4 weeks. It really took 6 weeks for it to be back to normal. When I tried to play with it – there was some functionality but after one slash on the hand I could hardly hold a stick.

That’s why I say McGee needs to be ready, it took Philly 2 plays to get to Romo, not only did he hit Babin’s helmet, but when he went down he avoided using it to support his fall. What happens when he gets hit? Any pressure on that hand and it will swell up again. He might be good for 1 quarter. They might need to start McGee and bring Romo in if they are having trouble sustaining drives.

Can McGee get us to the playoffs? Can Romo? If Romo does will he play the following week? If Romo does start and gets a big lead do you take him out?

A lot of scenarios here… my guess is the hand is still swollen on gameday.

when I played in that championship game no one knew I was injured

I was the fastest player on the ice, hardest shot, everything, but I couldn’t lift the puck. I had 2 scoring chances on 2 shifts then I was done. Normally I would have scored on at least 1. No one knew why I came out.

Same with Romo, he looks like he can throw well, but his hand is still swollen, so he can only throw a few passes then he’s done. He might not be able to follow through properly or not accurate deep.

I think he will be good by Saturday but he might be limited… he might aggravate it on a handoff or a snap.

And that is reflected in the results. This game is MUCH different. The Cowboys know exactly what they are playing for, and know what it all means and I am confident they are going to win this game…and it’s not even going to be close.

No one can question Romo's physical toughness or dedication to this team

My only complaint is that his style of play, coupled with the Air Coryell offense, leaves us very vulnerable to foolish mistakes when ahead. We must learn the Parcells “bus driver” concept and implement it when we’re up 14 points. Having a legit running game helps, but no stupid out passes into double-coverage, and no foolish (albeit bold) head first dives towards the end zone with the ball dangling in the breeze.

"You win,'' Romo said. "You're a very good leader once you win.

Good points on Lunch Break

This team will not be successful unless they get to the 2nd round of the playoffs and lose gracefully to GB or someone else.

True – forget the Romo injury – the players don’t even matter – the team has to win the division and get a playoff run. Beat the Giants then Atlanta or Detroit at home. The when they do go up against GB or whomever don’t fall over like the Minny game in ’09.

Romo blew 3 games this year, Jets, Detroit and Arizona. Jets was him being too competitive, Detroit was the same plus he was playing in pain, Arizona was really media hype, not a Romo or Garrett mistake. Same thing vs Giants…

Really the problem is your QB is a competitor, its a good problem. Best scenario might be for him to play limited vs Giants, maybe only 25 passes, then be ready for Atlanta/Detroit.

Yeah, Kitna and McGee do not seem like options at QB, Romo is the QB who should play even if he’s injured. If he doesn’t play, you still need to win. You need to win without excuses, this is not a 6-10, 8-8 organization, we should have been at least 10-6.

If we finish 9-7, win the division and get to the NFC Championship game, then most fans will be content. Lay an egg in NY Sunday Night… Houston, we have a problem.

How in the hell did Romo blow the Arizona game??

By not calling a TO?? Boy dude, you’re beyond delusional, you really are.

In Romo we Trust

that TO was on the coach, not Romo

Dilfer broke it down, the coach calls the TO because the QB is so far away from the play and he doesn’t see the completion or how many yards they got etc

Bruce Carter+Sean Lee=BRUCE LEE!!!!
RDD=REAL DEAL DEMARCO!!!!
