Today's question: What does your team fear more: the Tony Romo-to-Dez Bryant connection or the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line?
Dan Graziano: The Giants have plenty of respect for the Cowboys’ offensive line and its importance to Romo’s success, but Romo is the one who haunts their nightmares. The Giants have lost five consecutive games to Romo. (He didn’t play in the second game between the two teams last season.) It seems he usually finds a way to rip their hearts out late. After last year’s Week 1 loss, then-Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara said he was going to create a web series called “I Hate Tony Romo” because of all the times they haven’t been able to stop him when it counts. The Romo/Bryant combo is bad news for the Giants’ defense if both of those guys are healthy. New York hasn’t been able to find a way to beat them since 2012.
Phil Sheridan: That offensive line is a serious force and allows the Cowboys to do so much offensively. But I’d still say Romo-to-Bryant has to be the biggest concern for an Eagles defense that finished 28th against the pass last year and has a cloudy situation at cornerback this year. Of course, the Eagles’ focus this season is on turning their defense into an aggressive, disruptive unit. Coordinator Jim Schwartz is all about getting to the quarterback, and his wide-9 alignment can be vulnerable to the run. So the Cowboys create a pick-your-poison scenario that will challenge every defense they face.
John Keim: Can we say all of the above? I do know there were some at Redskins Park who were disappointed when Dallas took Ezekiel Elliott in the first round, and it goes back to the offensive line and Romo. I thought one offensive coach might be happy they didn’t go defense, but he was not. Why? Because the feeling was Elliott’s impact behind that line could be big, allowing the Cowboys to play like they did two years ago. Keep in mind that in his past five games against Washington, Bryant has a combined 19 catches for 300 yards and four touchdowns. Also, the Redskins like their starting corners -- Bashaud Breeland and Josh Norman -- against Bryant. They’ll have a tougher time against that line if Elliott gets motoring.
