The Return of Romo


It has been far too long and the Dallas Cowboys have definitely felt the pressure of not having Pro Bowler Tony Romo taking the snaps for America's team. Without Romo Dallas have gone 1-2 and dropped all the way down to last place in the very competitive NFC East with a record of 5-4.

Finally some good news for the Cowboys coming into week 10 as Tony Romo is back on the practice field and looking good. Obviously backup quarterbacks Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger haven't gotten the job done in Romo's absence so the Cowboys will be extremely anxious to get their superstar quarterback, maybe even faster and sooner than they should.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys, this season the team has been under the microscope ever since they were on the HBO Hard Knocks special. With all the expectations and Super Bowl predictions floating around to start the season, every single mishap and 3 and out has been criticized and analyzed to death. The Cowboys have just been a target of negative press all season long with all there good performances overshadowed by team drama, rumors of Wade Phillips on the hot seat and a bunch of BS.

Tony Romo's injury to his throwing hand definitely didn't help things as it put the cross hairs on the backs of all the Cowboys and the coaching staff, but with the return of Romo the team might be able to quite their critics and start winning football games in an effort to make some ground in the NFC East.

Although it is uncertain which quarterback will be starting in another important AFC East match up against the Washington Redskins in week 11, it would be pretty safe to say that Romo might take some snaps on Sunday.
