There is a couple of ways to look at this. Some would say the coach should protect the player, but others will say they want the truth.
Either way this will only give Romo’s detractors more fuel for their fire. Here is how Romo described the final INT playcall.
It’s a run call we have. We’ll have it up three to five to six times a game where you will throw the ball because you get a bad look into the run. That’s a time, when I look back now, we should have run the ball because I threw an interception. We shouldn’t ever give them a chance to have the ball. We’ve got to get better. I’ve got to do better than that.”
They overloaded the side we were going to run the ball to, and I ended up throwing to the man who was 1-on-1. The defense did a really good job of coming in on me instead of following the tackle down. It was my fault to, obviously, put the ball in a position where the defense could make a play.”
