The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... A lot’s been made this offseason about an increase in Romo’s involvement in game planning, but HC Jason Garrett didn’t make Romo’s contributions sound much different from the past or from other veteran quarterbacks around the league. “It’s really been similar to every quarterback situation that I’ve been involved in with every team that I’ve been involved in,” Garrett said. “In every place in this organization and in others, you’re trying to get that kind of rapport between your starting quarterback and the coaching staff, and we’ve had it, and we’ll continue to have that.”

Diehards Line:Garrett said he wants his quarterback to be engaged and involved, but that Romo’s always been that. “He’s been our starting quarterback for six years now, so his voice matters to us,” Garrett said. “But, it’s mattered for a long time.” The coach said the lines of communication have always been open “in a really positive way,” and that will continue in the offseason and during the season. He also said the coaches are trying to foster the communication to put the best game plan together possible. But whether or not it’ll be much different going forward? “We’re always trying to promote that,” he said. “So we’ll continue to do that.”
