Romo Out

Post by frankcal20 »

Just heard Tony Romo out 1 month with a broken Finger.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand and will be out four weeks, a team source told ESPN's Michael Smith.

Romo initially was diagnosed with a pinkie sprain in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Veteran quarterback Brad Johnson, the Cowboys' holder on kicks, is Romo's backup.

The Cowboys have lost two of their last three games after starting the season 3-0.

Oh, he huwt his widdle piddy. :cry:

That certainly explains the Cowpies' implosion we are about to witness.

Edit: Actually, Brad Johnson scares me more than Romo. Get well soon, Tony!

2nd edit: I wonder if he really can't go, or this is just an excuse to cover his temporary demotion.

What happens when Brad Johnson doesn't get the ball enough to TO and he gets in his face. Will Jerry ORDER Brad to throw to TO to keep him quiet??? They'll start to come apart at the seams. Couldn't happen to a nicer franchise. :D

So we will face our old friend B. Johnson on the 16th at Fedex. I guess that's OK - Johnson was so poorly treated by The Danny I imagine he would want to settle a score.

Actually, if Romo's out for just the four weeks, his return game is the rematch at FedEx -- that fourth week is both teams' open date.

I think Johnson will be good for them. I think Garett will ajust the play calling...I won't be surprised at all to see the Cowboys play very well while Romo is out.

I do think they will miss Romo but they have a lot of talented players and coaches down there and I doubt that they will miss him to the extent that it will cost them games - this might force them to be a little more run oriented with both Jones and Barber BUT that could make for an interesting scenario with TO too :lol:

If they continue to win the games that they are meant to they will be fine but this is not a group that will handle adversity very well and could cause a lot of friction within the team.
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance

Yeah, I saw the refs try everything they could to give Dallas that win so I was thrilled to see Arizona spoil it.

As for Johnson, yeah he's a little scary, but the key to Romo's success is tht he can make something out of nothing.

Great example; the plays where they snap the ball over his head, it bounces around, he scoops it up and nails a reciever 30 yards down field from his back foot, while running for his life.

I'm not thinking even Brad Johnson can do that.

Looks like Romo will try to play with the injured finger. Brett Farve told him to man up and play.

There is no chance that Romo will play this weekend - he will be with the team but there is no way he can be effective and Wade will not take a chance on him doing anything to hurt his chances of delaying his getting better.

Despite the fact that Favre told him to play - how stupid can anyone be to think that a QB from another team can tell anyone to play or not :shock:
