Dallas Cowboys to give Tony Romo more control of audibles
By Bryan Rose
As a starting quarterback, one would assume that you have pretty large control of audibles, but that hasn’t been the case for Dallas Cowboys signal caller Tony Romo.
In past seasons, Romo has (more or less) taken audibles from the booth but this season, the training wheels are being detached as the Cowboys plan to give Romo more leeway on calling audibles on his own.
"Quarterback Tony Romo has been part of the meetings to determine how the Cowboys will alter their offense. He worked on its installation with the coaching staff.So it stands to reason he will have more latitude at the line of scrimmage to change the call.“I think they all go hand in hand,’’ Romo said. “When you’re in there and part of understanding what we’re trying to do, you know what we’re looking for and what we’re not, what we want to run vs. what.“So yeah, I’m sure I’ll probably do a little more from time to time at the line. That’s not every time, that doesn’t mean every game but it means that capability is there for us.’’"
It’s a slightly frighting prospect that Romo could even be more interception prone now.
