DMN Blog: Giants will use Eagles' scheme to get after Romo
The Cowboys won't be the only team at Texas Stadium busting out a new, blitz-happy defensive scheme Sunday night. Hall of Fame scribe Rick "Goose" Gosselin writes that Romo will see a familiar, perhaps frightening game plan from the Giants, who hired ex-Eagles LB coach Steve Spagnuolo as their defensive coordinator.
The last time Romo faced this defensive scheme, the Eagles undressed him in a 23-7 victory at Texas Stadium last December. Romo completed 14 of 29 passes for 142 yards, was sacked three times and intercepted twice. His 45.5 passer efficiency rating was his worst of a Pro Bowl season.
Romo will see the same look Sunday in the opener against the Giants, but with different players providing the pressure.
