DMN JJT Blog: Tony Romo and the deep ball in Denver

by Jean-Jacques Taylor

Tim Dove has an interesting take on why Tony Romo struggled to complete deep balls in Denver last week:

"Being a golfer, I know a golf ball travels about 10% farther when hit at 5,000-6,000 feet above sea level. Clearly Romo, didn't have that factored in while in Colorado based on his overthrows in practice and the game. He should be okay at at 600 feet above sea level in Valley Ranch."
Are you guys buying it?

I'll give it a little credence and I'll give it more, if Romo hits a couple deep ones Friday against Houston.
