This just in...Tony Romo will be out for the next 4 weeks with a broken pinky finger. Obviously this is absolutely disturbing for me.
Skip and Jamelle on ESPN's First Take, just got done saying that they both think that this isn't that bad for the Cowboys becuase hopefully it will force them to run the ball a little bit more. Something they have gotten away from during these passed couple of games, and has hurt them considerably.
While I agree that Jones and Barber should be getting more carries, the reason that they are so successful when they get the ball is because of the passing threat that Romo offers with Witten and Owens. I'm not sure convinced that back up Brad Johnson can off that same threat.
I like the leadeship he will bring to this seemingly confused offensive huddle, but let's not kid ourselves. Tony Romo is the face of the Dallas Cowboys and the only QB that has been able to get T.O. off of the crazy train. I am a little afraid of what this will do the Dallas locker room.
If opponents are able to key in on the rush then I suspect them to have similar outcomes as the previous few games when they haven't run the ball successfully. If that pressure comes, I hope that Brad Johnson will be able to handle it. I am not doubting him yet, but I am a little cautious.

In those 4 games that Romo is out, it appears only one of the games are winnable and that's next wk against Stl. The Rams did just beat the Redskins tho. Obv they could have worse options at backup as Johnson has won a Super Bowl, but he's old and he's gonna need all the help he can get from his offense if he wants to be successful. The O-line needs to step up or Johnson and the Cowboys season could be finished.
