Cowboys Signing Math Teacher/Football Coach As 3rd QB

((HT: Dallasnews.com/George))

So, the Cowboys tried out David Carr, Tyler Thigpen, Caleb Hanie, and John Skelton on the off-chance that Tony Romo doesn't survive the epidural that he was given earlier Tuesday...

Didn't sign a one of them...

They went after 16-year vet, and two-years removed from the game, Jon Kitna...

Kitna was teaching math and coaching football at his alma mater Tacoma-Lincoln (WA) High School...
See...??? He was back home...

But he had done things for the Cowboys in the past...

He just hasn't done them since the first term of the current President...

DEVELOPING: Romo Not Out Completely, for Now...

((HT: ESPN))

Possibly a herniated disk... no one, except the Cowboys really know right now...

And dead-man-walking Jason Garrett says that they're not ruling him out for the game against the Eagles- for now...even as everyone else on the planet is saying Romo is out for the season...

Which means Kyle Orton, who hasn't had any real snaps in three years, will be getting the majority of the practice work and the Cowboys will be looking for a third QB for the roster for Sunday...

Here's the early returns on Big D...



A couple of early thoughts... Nick Florence comes to mind... and the running game will get a whole lot of work to keep the Eagles offense off the field in the winner-take-all game for the playoffs next weekend...
