Romo likely to start against Seattle

Mickey Spags is reporting that Tony Romo will probably start Saturday against Seattle in the Cowboys preseason opener.

Parcells has been saying Romo would "play a lot" in the 7 p.m. (PDT) start at Qwest Field, but has been hesitant to commit to what has seemed to be the obvious: That he would start the game.

But on Thursday here at the River Ridge Complex before the Cowboys conducted their only practice of the day, when asked one more time if it would be safe to say Romo is his starter against the Seahawks, Parcells said, "There would be a pretty good chance that would happen."

As a big Romo supporter, I'm excited about Tony getting an opportunity to showcase his skills against the defending NFC champ's first team defense. I think he'll show the Cowboy fans that he is the real deal and could take over for Bledsoe if God forbid he goes down with an injury this season.

Yeah, not a surprise.

I think its great that Romo is going to get alot of work in the preseason games, although, I dont know Terry if you're going to see a first string defense on the field for SEATTLE. These preseason games are alot different than regular season games,I wish that Romo played in the last game of the season last year, wont be any scheming in the first preseason game, so I dont get too enamored by what the final score is at the end of the game, Bill wants to see what players can help us down the road, so downs and distances wont match the schemes. I'll be watching the Offensive linemen, especially the Tackle position, Carpenter and your fav Terry, Watkins, who I think will get alot of work also.
