Favre is definitely in Romo's corner.
Yeah, Andy I know you are in Dallas so have you heard anything on Romo maybe being able o play before the bye week? Is it just a pain issue and being able to function with the splint? Any word maybe they can really look into how Favre dealt with it. Maybe it is a different kind of injury just wondering.
Never mind Andy I did not read the second box only your comment you answered my question already thanks
Just some salve, ointment and Prilosec. I heard he actually texted it to Romo and told him he was his BFF.
I just traded for Romo - I got Romo for Brad Johnson, Matt Hasselbeck and Thomas Jones. I hope this news is true and Romo tries to play through the injury!
Exactly right.I brought this up near halftime of the last game thread.Romo has got to get back to "some" of his old Romo ways and get past his offseason adjustment of standing in the pocket (a la Brady, in his words).He has to get back to moving around and making plays.CalmLikeABomb said:
I think the Redskins learned that St. Louis isn't necessarily a pushover, and I would think wanting to win games would be motivation enough for Romo to want to return as soon as he can.
And he's lost to Washington, barely beat Cincy, and lost to Arizona.He needs his swagger back. Heck, my wife even said he looks off now, particularly pointed it out when the Cowboys tied up the game Sunday and he's moping on the bench in lieu of getting his guys fired up.
Roy Williams will cure it all. I have said from day one that he had to force too many throws. There was a HUGE dropoff between TO and their second receiver. Crayton is just not a #2 guy... so... with TO being double teamed... Witten can only be used in the passing game so much... and Crayton normally unable to get seperation from a good cornerback... Romo had to really force a lot of throws. Now... with TO on one side drawing coverage... Williams on the other... they will both be opened up, and then who the hell will even cover Witten? Now.. Crayton can be used as a good #3 receiver for short routes.... it's on.Also... it isn't as if Romo lost all of those game for them. Their defense really let them down outside of the Arizona game, and he almost won that game for them, until he broke his finger and couldn't grip the ball in OT.
I'll bet if Tony Looks down and see R LOTT on his caller ID he let's it go to voicemail.
The Redskins played very bad they turned the ball over at bad times that is why they lost Redskins really outplayed the Rams they just beat themselves and can't over come when they play bad they are not talented enough . Stl is a bad team and I doubt Romo comes back this week. If Brad stinks up the joint at Stl we may see Romo vs Tampa. If not I bet no matter what Romo will be there for the Giant game.
Yeah that is a funny post. I do not think Lott had to do a lot of throwing though. Still funnyI'll bet if Tony Looks down and see R LOTT on his caller ID he let's it go to voicemail.
I agree with most Widow but I do not think he cures it all. Romo does have to get out the pocket more often that is where he makes his really big plays. The O-Line needs to step up as well. I think they will, they do not just become that bad over night. Hopefully the coaches fix this thing and fast. If they do Roy will make this team unstoppable. Of coarse we need to get Newman back as well. One thing I have noticed though and that is that Dallas has been getting run on a lot. Does that have anything to do with the Other Roy Williams being out. I think he is pretty good at run support huh. When will he be back? Roy Williams (db)
Having Roy Williams will also help on the defensive pass rush... believe it or not. They can't really send too many people coming in... and be able to cover Barber out of the backfield, TO, Williams, Witten, ect.... If they start blitzing... look for an easy touchdown.
You guys kill me with your apologies for that offense. Kansas City had some record setting offensive seasons 4-5 years ago with only Eddie Freaking Kennison to take attention from Gonzo and the running game. They were running the same general offensive system (an offshoot of the Coryell-Zampese system). You make it sound like you've got the Seattle offense right now with "only" TO and Witten to work with, and now Roy changes everything. Are Garrett and Romo that weetahded that they can't make it work without Roy Williams?
The offense is putting up good numbers they are just in a funk right now. Last year they had a funk at the end of the year. Not many teams go the whole year without any problems. Maybe they get it out the way early this year. Roy does not hurt. That is for sure he helps a lot just face it. Also last season they set franchise records with the terrible Romo and Garrett combo. They could beat them records this year still. No apologies needed just wins and they will come.You guys kill me with your apologies for that offense.

I'd like to know what happened to the vaunted O-Line. They looked like they were blocking for screens all night. Romo didn't have a lot of time to setup in the pocket before someone in Red was buzzing around him. The O-Line's pass blocking has been far below expectations the past 2 weeks. Did someone get hurt? or are they just playing poorly?You guys kill me with your apologies for that offense.

Yeah I am with you on that SHO NUFF I would love to see Romo back soon I am 6-0 in a league I have him in but have Peterson and Forte off week 8 and can't afford Romo out as well. Man I need to win this week.Favre did seem to acknowledge its a different injury and different grip issues really. That is the key whether he can play with it or not.Favre, even playing through it, had struggles with his grip in all of that (was that the year he put a few on the turf with the whole "empty hand coming forward" fumbles...like Cutler only Ed tight shirt was not there to blow the whistle...I think against Philly he had 2 of those that year).I wonder if he sent Rodgers a similar letter about the shoulder.
It's well documented that Favre is Romo's boyhood hero. Favre is just being gracious, calling the kid while he is down and trying to pick him up.
What?
He said, "The thing is with Romo's little side arm, flip of the wrist type of motion there is much more pressure on that pinky finger than for a QB who has a high follow through and full shoulder rotation throw.With the sidearmish type of motion the pinky is the last finger that leaves the ball to create the velocity and spiral. For a majority of QB's throwing motion the index finger is usally the last to leave the ball and not as much pressure on the pinky.An injury like this is much worse for Romo than it would be for most other NFL QB's."
I really need to see this throwing motion that has the pinky being the last finger off of the ball.
I do not think that is possible but I do understand what he is saying by the side arm throw puts more pressure on the pinky at release.
Check out the below video (actually pretty cool video to see all the way through)Best example at 3:33
I'm not seeing the pinky finger thing at all. As for whether the rotational snap of a side armer is harsher on the finger than the angular snap of a more traditional passer, who can say? You say it is so, I won't dispute it. I don't believe it, but I have no proof to contradict it.The original statement struck me funny, well contived clap trap,but I have no definitive evidence its not brilliance that is just beyond my keen.
Now try it with a Ritz cracker.
The last ime I did that I drove it into a barn door without breaking the cracker, very similar to what tornadoes have been known to do with straw.
Hold on. Before you do this I need to throw up my storm shutters.
Did you hear the conversation between the two? How do you know Favre didn't say it worked for his thumb, and maybe it will work for Romo's pinkie? I'm sure he is bright enough to know it might not work for Romo's condition, but it might be worth a try.
