I'm not sure he is really making calls that aren't to someone that played the QB position but I seriously doubt any of our QB coaches or Off Coordinators (bates Morty whatever all of them) ever could do what Tony is doing. It wouldn't be much of a jump to get him coaching. He is not just calling plays, but diagnoses it in real time better than the teams coaches calling the plays in real time. Tell me one coach that we have had in the last decade that could consistently know what was happening and call plays that even sort of seemed like they had a chance during a season. Tony is sitting here calling plays, telling them if it would work and what they should be doing. Maybe I just am pisst but damn love to have Tony on our sideline with Darnold. That is the type of voice I like in his ear as a coach. He makes $4 million per year working 22 weeks as a broadcaster, and he will be getting a very substantial raise after next season.

His coverage of the Pats/Chiefs game was unbelievable, especially the way he was able to call the outcome of plays before it happened. He could probably garner an OC salary from the booth, which would be well deserved. The way he calls games puts the viewer in the drivers seat in a way. Romo isnt going anywhere, but if he did, hiring him as an OC would be a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Work 20 Sunday’s a year. Make millions. -OR- Come to the freakin Jets, put your balls through the grinder 24/7 for months. Don’t even get to call the plays. Make 700k. Choices, choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is basically what Todd Bowles made BTW. People want him to leave a 4 mil dollar CBS job for a 1 mil coordinator job or 500k qb coach... why? He makes $4 million per year working 22 weeks as a broadcaster, and he will be getting a very substantial raise after next season.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 A. His job is too cush and pays too well. B. This is just what a sound football mind sounds like it, just exacerbated bc the normal color commentators have never played the game, or are complete boobs.

tdoublee Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think there are a lot of competent DCs that can call the offensive plays pre-snap the way that Romo does. I'm sure Greg Williams was sitting on the couch doing the same thing. Only the best DCs can come up with a game plan that enables the players to recognize and defend those plays. As for Romo, he's not leaving the booth, but I'd pay him top dollar to spend a few days mentoring Sam this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just common sense. Yeah I was really surprised that Elelman was not getting a double team. He just runs routes and finds the holes in zone coverage. He IS the go to guy for Brady. Rams will need to find a way to shut him down. Maybe a jam at the line to throw off the timing. Also Brady was virtually untouched all game. If you want to beat the Pats you have to get to Brady early and often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one except Brady that is. If it is so obvious to us, I don't get why no one else sees it? I think the Rams are going to do exactly what you said. They will put Marcus Peters on Edleman in press coverage the entire game. No free releases and with the tempers and competitive edges of those 2 guys, it will prove to be entertaining. This will be combined with the Rams trying to pressure Brady and break the pocket inside. Donald and Suh are already in the middle but I think Phillips will blitz up the middle as well. Frankly, if I'm Phillips I tell my players do not worry about roughing the passer calls in the first half. Getting to Brady is far more important then worrying about the penalty.

That’s one thing Jets fans have learned playing the Pats twice a year. If you rock Brady early and don’t allow him to get his rhythm he starts hurrying his throws and his accuracy diminishes. It’s the only way to beat him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one play where Gronk motioned to the slot it doesn’t take a genius to figure out he was Brady’s first read just because the crappy Chiefs safety couldn’t recognize it Gronk and Brady have been doing that for 8 years now teams just suck at covering and adjusting to the pre snap motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtina Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 More realistic than this: “CBS broadcaster/seer of the future Tony Romo clearly still has the ability to diagnose plays at the line of scrimmage, and somebody apparently wanted him to get back to doing it with a helmet on. In his interview with Richard Deitsch of The Athletic, Romo said he’s had offers to come back to the field. “There are legitimate contract offers and there are, ‘Hey, what are you thinking?'” he said with a laugh. Then asked to describe the difference between a serious offer and a less-than serious offer, he offered a bit of info. “There was something earlier this season and definitely two times this offseason,” he said. “Usually, it is a coach that reaches out” “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
