Was listening to Sirius on the drive home from class today, and Gannon's show was on.

Happened to catch him say, paraphrasing, "Romeo Crennel told me in our production meeting that they felt they could get a ton of pressure on Fitzpatrick by sending only three or four guys and dropping the rest in coverage."

WTF was RAC thinking? And why didn't he bother to adjust after realizing he was dead wrong?

I said it in an earlier thread. A majority of the time....he would only send Hali. The Bills countered that by double teaming Hali and Fitzpatrick raped us.

We lost to the Bills because the coaching staff didn't put in any fucking work.

And Matt Cassel is a piece of shit.

Hali dropped into coverage a lot. I don't think I've ever seen a game where he dropped into coverage that much. Apparently Romeo bought the hype about the Bills O-line being dreadful just like the rest of us.

I guess he thought Dorsey and Jackson would step it up....

I said it during the game and a few times since, if Romeo doesn't turn it up a couple notches to bring pressure...he is gonna paint himself in the same lite as grob by letting teams pick us apart every game.

You simply can't run all zone when you have no safeties.

In today's NFL, you must get after the QB and get pressure, and you must have a QB that can perform under pressure.

Running the ball to control the clock, and playing bend but don't break defense will never win you a championship.

Just watched Haley's press conference on the Chiefs homepage. He looks tired, man. Tired and almost defeated. He's saying the words, "re-bound", "hard work", "respond to adversity", etc. There's no Haley Energy behind them, though. He looks like a man who has had his ass kicked and the ambulance got lost. He must have used the word, "hope" a dozen times in 17 minutes.

It was an absolute mirror image of the 49ers game last season.

Our staff clearly outclassed theirs and absolutely put clown shoes on Singletary. The Chiefs dominated the 49ers from both a preparation and scheme standpoint.

You're absolutely correct - the effort put forth by the Chiefs coaching staff was miserable.

You don't know what you're watching then.

When Belcher has been brought on the blitz he has been very effective at it. His 2 sacks against Baltimore are just one example.

In 3 years, Dorsey has never been asked to be anything other than a run defender. The tools are there.

In our scheme, the interior linemen in a 40 front are supposed to occupy the guards and center and allow the ends to get the pressure.

If you don't believe me, go watch the DVRs of the Gilberry sacks.

Hali shits all over Dorsey. I mean, Dorsey is not in the same GALAXY as Hali as a player. I realize people want to rationalize over another bust and a player we all WANTED to be great, who we thought would be great, but let's cut down on the stupid here. At his absolute best Dorsey's a fat biotch who can just about absorb a double-team without his knees buckling, while Hali can take over and at times completely dominate a game.

It's not about apples and oranges, it's about people's refusal to accept that Dorsey is not remotely close to anchoring the DL, all because he was supposed to and they liked him coming out. It's no different to those who used to crap all over Hali while he was developing because they didn't like the pick, despite the fact that Hali was and always has been way more advanced than Dorsey is and at this point likely ever will be.

Dorsey's 937 snaps were more than any other 3-4 defensive end in the NFL, and he graded out as a top-five run-stopper in Pro Football Focus' ratings.




11) What constitutes a “stop” or “offensive failure?”

It’s when an offense fails to get:

40 percent of the required yards for another first down on first down
60 percent of the required yards for a first down on second down
A first down on third or fourth down

I understand why Romeo felt that way going in, but I think he should have adjusted as the game went on as the pass rush was simply not getting it done.

Then again with our safeties unable to cover anyone at any point in the game, I'm not sure we would have done much better had we blitzed a bunch.

I don't think Crennel has ever been a big blitz guy. At least not in recent years. That's part of the reason he always gives Manning fits. Instead of trying to outsmart him with blitzes he makes Manning go into robot mode and take the safe plays underneath. It's really not surprising at all, especially against what we assumed was an inferior team.

Thats the opposite of how I see things.

If you have weaknesses in the secondary, you should do whatever you can to try and rush the decision process and limit the amount of long developing plays.

You do that by bringing a little more pressure and making the offense react to that and you hope that forces mistakes and bad passes.

Houstons first step is totally uncoachable and his closing speed is borderline elite...he and Hali need to be getting after quarterbacks and disrupting running games.

Well, that's true.

The problem only really comes if the front 7 can't get pressure with a 5 or 6 man rush.

Which is more often than most fans want to acknowledge in general, but I like our front 7 's blitzing ability. You're probably right. Blitzing is probably an even better option with the injury having occurred.

Didn't really focus on individuals after the ass-kicking began but it seemed like Houston was in coverage more than he was going after Fitzpatrick.

Eventually people will understand that Romeo was in no way responsible for the Patriots' success. He's worthless.

:rolleyes:

WTF is wrong with some of you people. Gunther sucks balls and is the worst DC in NFL history and now the Lions are tearing people's heads off and you're probably (hate to say it) going to watch Matt HoldstheBalltooLong Cassel get gangraped by the Lions defense this weekend.

Now Romeo Crennel with 25 years in the NFL or whatever dating back to the Giants and with more Super Bowl rings on his fingers than both Missouri teams put together is a brainless A-Hole who knows nothing about coaching.

MAYBE it's a talent thing. MAYBE losing one of, if not THE, best defender the team had knocked the game plan for a bit of a loop. Just a guess...

I certainly agree that the buck stopped with Belichick in all phases of the game, but Romeo was the one calling the defenses for those three Super Bowl wins, so your statement is flat absurd.

Whatever he does or doesn't do with the Chiefs isn't going to change the fact that he was a very important part of getting those rings his fingers.

Romeo has always been a react guy instead of a dictate guy.



I want a guy that goes wildly crazy with aggresiveness. Pittsburgh dials up some nasty blitzes, along with the Ravens. They dictate the conditions of the game.

React defenses have sucked ass ever since the NFL laid out the red carpet for WR's and QB's.

Meh.

I don't buy this at all. Fans love aggressive defenses, but statistically they are not better at all.

Aggressiveness should be determined by personnel.
