IRVING, Texas – Here’s one reason the Cowboys are taking film study to another level this year with new virtual reality technology:
Tony Romo’s is the most important, of course. That’s precisely the point. Weeden’s always one play away from game action.
Since the starting quarterback gets the majority of the real-time practice snaps, the team is hopeful virtual reality simulation will help the backups – Weeden and No. 3 QB Dustin Vaughan – mentally replicate Romo’s reps.
Given Romo’s immeasurable value to the offense entering his ninth full season as the starter, “Line 1” for Weeden (as head coach and former NFL backup Jason Garrett would say) is staying ready.
