After taking three sacks on his first of two offensive series, Tony Romo later took off his pads as he watched the remainder of Thursday's 17-9 loss from the sidelines. The Pro Bowl quarterback might have been experiencing some stiffness in his back, but afterward told reporters he was fine.
As for those three sacks, Romo said one resulted from simply holding the ball too long. On another, two receivers bumped each other in the pattern. So while the offensive line will largely take the blame -- and whenever there are five sacks in one half, they'll have to shoulder some of it -- there were also some natural preseason imperfections in other areas.
Those will start getting corrected on the field Saturday in Oxnard, Calif., when the team resumes practice.
"Sometimes they stop you, sometimes they don't," Romo said. "But we have to get hands-on. We have to find a way to improve our execution. And we will."
