Tony Romo claims he’s not sweating over getting his first big NFL contract, but he and the rest of the Cowboys were pouring persperation due to the humidity Sunday afternoon as they overpowered the Dolphins 37-20.

It was a meager 10-6 Dallas at halftime, but that was before the floodgates opened. Tony Romo and Co. carried out OC Jason Garrett’s game plan with precision, and Fins QB Trent Green was flustered all afternoon. Miami committed five turnovers and never could find a rhythm offensively while the defense looked strong but simply got thwarted by the Cowboys.

In Game One vs. the Giants, the Cowboys appeared to be exhibiting two valuable and unique qualities: Freedom and smiling. These two elements were absent during the Parcells Inquisition, but they have begun to blossom under the Wade Phillips early regime. I mean, Phillips was out on the field arms raised high after a field goal in the second quarter last Sunday. Did you ever see Parcells do that? You haven’t seen this kind of enthusiasm and pride since JJ was coach.

You also haven’t see true grit. It was fourth and five on the Miami 34-yard-line and leading by 10 points while also being out of rookie K Nick Folk’s range. Garrett had a decision to make so what did he do? He and Phillips listened to Terrell Owens who went to the sidelines and asked for the ball promising a first down. The result was a 34-yard TD pass to T.O. After the game, Coach Wade said, “There was no use in punting it.”

What do you think The Tuna would have done?
