DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo joined the Ben and Skin Show on 105.3 The Fan to talk about the latest on his golf game, the Cowboys offensive changes, Bill Belichick, and Peyton Manning's criticism.
Romo also spent some time talking about his former teammate Jason Witten. Witten, who hasn't played a game since Dec.31, 2017, returned to the Cowboys after spending a season in the Monday Night Football broadcast booth.
So how does Romo see Witten doing this season?
"He'll pick up right where he left off," Romo said Wednesday. "I don't think it's a big challenge for Jason. The reality of it is as long as, if you know the game the way he does, there are certain positions ... he plays one of them at tight end ... he's always going to have the nuance to get open. Let's say he runs the exact same he always did, to me, it's just that at that position, your ability to use leverage against somebody, make you think this and then do that. It's like the back pick in basketball. Just all of a sudden, it gets you and you don't even know it was coming and that guy is wide open. He's very intelligent with the game of football. I think he's going to pick up right from when he retired. I think you're going to see the same guy."
Witten is the Cowboys' all-time leader in games played, receptions, and receiving yards. He's expected to take over the starting role when training camp opens next week.
