Tony Romo's Injury Turns Up Heat on Former Whiz Kid Jason Garrett

Filed under: Cowboys, NFC East, NFL CoachingARLINGTON, Texas -- When Jason Garrett appeared in the Cowboys locker room after the bone-breaking of his starting quarterback and the knuckle-wrapping dispensed by the Giants on Monday night, he was, as usual, smartly dressed in a coat and tie with briefcase in hand. He's a Princeton guy. He's 44. He played quarterback for the Saints, Cowboys, Giants, Bucs and Dolphins from 1989 through 2004. He has been the Cowboys' offensive coordinator since 2007.

So, Garrett is seasoned. He knew what was coming.

He offered that laser look. Few blinks.

It's as if a voice was whispering in his ear, "Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm ...''

The rapid shots began ...

"Jason, what about losing Tony Romo? Jason, what about going 0 for 10 on third-down conversions? Jason, what about Jon Kitna? Jason, what about this offense now?"
