As the big game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers draws closer, the pressure mounts more and more on Dallas. They need this game. They need this game BAD!
Perhaps no one needs it more than Tony Romo. He needs to play well for his team (most importantly) and for his ow reputation (Did the media really compare him to Jason Campbell this week?).
Here are 3 things Tony Romo much do to beat the Steelers:
1. Protect the ball.
Romo can't throw picks but, more importantly, Romo can't fumble away the ball either. The Steelers love to come around the corner on the pass rush and swat the ball.
Romo has a bad habit of hanging the ball out away from his body.
Against the Steelers, Romo better be aware of the rush and he better hold onto the ball.
2. Get Rid of the Ball Quickly
A major way to beat the rush is to get rid of the ball quickly. This includes throwing the ball away if need be. Romo can't sit in the pocket and wait for his receivers to uncover. He has to make a quick decision and quick reads and then get rid of the ball.
3. Be Tony Romo
This seems like an easy one but Romo wasn't completely being Tony Romo earlier in the season.
He needs to scramble around and elude the rush. He needs to make plays with his legs and run for 3 or 4 yards when it's there. Any play that's not a negative play will be a great play in the scope of the game.
