Biggest misconception about Tony Romo's new level of involvement _ that Jerry mandated it. Reality is that Romo insisted upon having it
Sounds like he wants more input into the offense and he's willing to wear part of the offensive coordinator hat to get what he needs.
And now we know why Jerry opened his stupid mouth. He was trying to get out in front of it.
If Romo was insisting on it, that means (a) he feels like he can do a better job being involved than the offensive coaches can do without him, and (b) by having to put it in his contract, it means the team was holding him back from being involved. Both things make the Cowboys and their coaches look bad.
I agree. We all saw last year how stagnant the offense looked until Romo had to go into sandlot mode. Sandlot mode provided better results than Garrett's game plan, but the problem is sandlot mode only gets you so far.

Cool...so Garrett can be the walk around Head Coach now.
Romo is the QB/OC.
Jerry Jones does it again!

Or you can embrace sandlot mode and run no huddles and spread teams out with multiple WRs. You just reminded me of how much I hate the offense Garrett starts games out with until we fall behind. The multiple TE, run the play clock to one second, and expect Romo to complete a pass to the only WR running a pattern.I agree.

Apparently, Werder is saying that Romo has wanted to be more involved in the game planning and will be coming in on his day off to help with the next weeks plan. Werder is also saying he is hearing that Romo wants to run more no-huddle.
Not to side with Garrett, but he has been saddled with a very inconsistent running game which he has tried to get going at times only to watch it fail miserably.Or you can embrace sandlot mode and run no huddles and spread teams out with multiple WRs.

Green Bay has not had a consistent running game since Ahman Green nor did Arizona or Pittsburgh when they went to the Superbowl.Not to side with Garrett, but he has been saddled with a very inconsistent running game which he has tried to get going at times only to watch it fail miserably.
Hard to think of many coaches who could get this offense to perform consistently. Payton in New Orleans has two top-notch guards, an elite QB, and a deep running back corps to complement his wide-open passing game.
Dallas has the worst starting guard tandem in football (which shockingly enough was an upgrade from 2011), only one RB worth a damn and who's hurt half the time at that, and a very good QB who lacks elite arm strength and WR's to stretch the field and hence get the defense to back the fuck off.
Garrett's not a magician. No successful NFL offense ever does it with mirrors.

If you don't know what you want, you can't complain if they don't give it to you. If I was coaching, I know I would identify linemen and lobby to get them. I'd be quicker to identify talent evaluation as the problem if we seemed to have some vision for what kind of lineman we want but we go for heavy or light linemen seemingly at random and there doesn't seem to be any end to that in sight.Having a decent OL is hardly having someone else do your job for you.
And as we all know, most of the offense's problems go away if we have that.
