Tony Romo Is At His Best When He Doesn’t Wear The Cape - Mac Engel - The Star-Telegram
At least for the first month, the Cowboys quarterback is going to have to do more than he should. Yet, his biggest task may be getting a rhythm going on offense that way he doesn't have to be Superman every week.
The Cowboys proved last season they are a better team when they are not riding entirely on their quarterback’s bad back — and, in turn, Romo had the best year of his life.
The only way this team thrives is with Tony Romo, and the only way he thrives is if he does not have to do it all himself.

Giants At Cowboys 2015 Scouting Report -- When The Cowboys Have The Ball - Big Blue View
What can the Giants do on defense to help put the team in position to open their season with a win? Well, Chris details how stopping the run would be a good start. Yet, with a pick-your-poison offense, who knows if that will be enough?
The Cowboys have invested tremendous resources in their offensive line over the past few years, and it finally paid dividends in 2014 when they began force-feeding running back Demarco Murray. That combination allowed them to take pressure off Tony Romo, control the clock, and limit how much the defense was exposed.
As strange as it might sound with a quarterback like Tony Romo and receiving options like Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, the Giants best option to put themselves in the best position to win the game is to stop their run game and put the ball in Tony Romo's hands.
