Tony Romo: 'New system' could cause Packers' rivals trouble

-- The Green Bay Packers gained an under-the-radar advantage this offseason -- on both sides of the ball -- when they hired on two new coordinators.

After Edgar Bennett spearheaded the schematics of the offense for the past three seasons, Joe Philbin was brought back aboard as the returning offensive coordinator after previously serving under the same title in Green Bay from 2007-2011.

The Packers also hired Mike Pettine to replace Dom Capers, the previous defensive coordinator for the past nine seasons.

Both of these moves on the surface hold great magnitude, not just because one offers a nostalgia kick and the other an actual kick (a reminder of Pettine's aggressive, 'no BS' nature), but because it makes the Packers that much harder to figure out.
