ESPN's Ed Werder reports Tony Romo will have influence in the Cowboys' "personnel and play-calling" this season, and game-plan with coaches on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Cowboys have found a new and exciting way to undermine puppet head coach Jason Garrett. It's a bit surprising Romo — a 33-year-old eight-year veteran — wasn't this involved in the offense already, but better late than never. It shouldn't have a noticeable impact on the way the offense is run in Big D.

This strikes me more of a "might as well try this" move as opposed to really thinking Romo can pull this off. He would have been in that role already if he was capable or actually vocal about it.

My two cents.

Along those lines:

“In our negotiations, (Romo) was inordinately interested in what we were going to be doing in the offensive line,” Jones said. “It meant something to him, to make commitments that he was making, that we commit there. It meant something to him and to me that he commit to what I’m talking about doing, more time that he commits to doing more time. It’s part of his job description.”

Jones said he wasn’t implying that Romo wasn’t involved in game-planning prior to this season, but he wants his quarterback to spend even more time being involved. The way Jones puts it, he wants Romo to spend “Peyton Manning type time on the job.”

“Anybody will tell you that Peyton Manning’s involvement in what they do is a bonus as opposed to what the general commitment is of top quarterbacks in the NFL,” Jones said.
