Tyler Lockett thinks Tony Romo would make a good defensive assistant

Watching Cowboys playoff games without John Madden involved is never going to feel quite right. Yesterday Dallas lost in embarrassing and confusing fashion to the 49ers in the Wild Card round. While we didn’t get to hear Madden break it all down, Tony Romo did fine work as always explaining exactly what was happening as the Cowboys imploded in the closing moments of the game.

Romo is the sport’s best living commentator now that Madden has passed on. His football IQ combined with an infectious enthusiasm makes him the most enjoyable to listen to as far as we’re concerned, anyway.

Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett also seems to think he’d make a good defensive assistant. Here’s what he tweeted during the middle of the game.

It’s probably not happening, as Romo is making $17.5 million per year from CBS, quite a bit more than the highest paid coach in the NFL.

As for Lockett, he finished his 2021 season with 73 catches, 1,175 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s the only player in the league who had at least 900 yards without a single drop. We named Lockett our offensive MVP for the season.
