Jennifer Floyd Engel of the Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that word from Valley Ranch is he had a come-to-Jesus meeting with QB Tony Romo this off-season where he basically told him to get his butt in better shape.

Now nobody is accusing Romo of being Val Kilmer, or even Byron Leftwich. The description used was "bottom heavy" and the message was more "We love you but ... " than butt kicking. What The Redheaded Genius told him was, basically, become a better finisher.

Cowboys coaches believe Romo has a penchant for showing up for training camp in just good enough shape to allow him to get out to a good start in the first half. And it falls apart in the second half because he does. He is not able to outrun the same players. His mistakes go up. He is not the same QB.

And they need that QB to win games in December and beyond. It is that simple.
