Chiefs waived Stanford routt

To make roster room for Shaun smith, #Chiefs waived Stanford routt

[Trevo_410]

wow

[In58men]

CB in the 1st round baby

[Chiefs Pantalones]

WTF

[suds79]

this can't be real.

[GoShox]

And he was supposed to be one of the big signings of the offseason... Good thing we let Carr walk, right?

WTF?

"We can afford to let Carr walk, because we've got Routt to replace him."

Maybe Pioli can use that top 2 pick on a CB in next year's draft.

Just fire this motherfucker now.

What was his injury?

[uninvited]

wow.


It would have been nice if they made this decision a week ago, and got something for him in a trade. He's been a disappointment, but surely someone would have given us something for him.

[DaFace]

What in the bloody hell....?

[Chiefnj2]

Wow, they really are tanking the season on purpose.

There should be a 2 month ban on everyone who defended Pioli not signing Carr and getting Routt in return because he was just as good, or just as good of a value.

[doomy3]

$6 million for half a season of terrible football. Money well spent.

But also though that means Pioli IS coming back.

he wasn't that terrible. Certainly not worse than the other CB's besides Flowers. This doesn't make any sense.

Hey, gotta get Javier Arenas more reps somehow.

Round and round with that shit again -- head coach taking on too much at once. Although, in Crennel's case, I bet he's using that as an excuse. But I like to make pessimistic assumptions, so there you go.

Also, this Routt bullshit is absolutely infuriating. Absolutely FUCKING infuriating. If you want a reason to fire Pioli, that's it right there. It was an abhorrent mistake, and this is admission OF that mistake.

Yup.

By the time we start fixing the weaknesses on this team, the strengths will have aged to the point that they need to be replaced.

If a new GM came in and 3 consecutive drafts as good as the 2008 draft, we'd have a contender by about the 3rd of them.

That's not going to happen.

Fuck it - get the #1 overall pick and trade down. I don't even give a !@#$ at this point. This team is a disaster and it's just going to suck for the foreseeable future.

Pioli knows Clarks bank account is going to take a HUGE for the balance of this year and in season tickets renewals, so he is trying to save a little cash. Routte is not the answer so why not cut him.

The issue is that they let Carr walk and signed Routt to take his place. And then he doesn't even finish the season? It just further proves how absolutely clueless these people are.

How is Smith going to pass the physical?

I don't know how that works, (I'm assuming he already has)... but that would be SOOOO AWESOME if he failed and they waved Routt for no reason, lol.

I'm not upset at waiving him. I'm upset we had to sign him to replace Carr in the first place.

This.

Would it have been asking a little too much to not see this beforehand?

No one is mad about cutting Routt, he sucks! What we are pissed about is the fact we got this loser in place of re-signing Carr. You NEVER sign a stupid Raider!!!!

[FAX]

Yup.

By the time we start fixing the weaknesses on this team, the strengths will have aged to the point that they need to be replaced.

If a new GM came in and 3 consecutive drafts as good as the 2008 draft, we'd have a contender by about the 3rd of them.

That's not going to happen.

**** it - get the #1 overall pick and trade down. I don't even give a !@#$ at this point. This team is a disaster and it's just going to suck for the foreseeable future.

Christ. Crennel does one thing even marginally well and that's what he fired himself from. But hey, thank God the fat bastard has more time to dedicate to the offense now.

Unbelievable.

That's exactly correct. Roleo is experienced and reasonably successful at the one thing he will no longer be doing.

Step by incredible step, Pioli has destroyed this team. And the most horrific aspect of it all is that the worst is yet to come.

The only hope we have is that Clark will act ... but I don't think he's going to. Not any longer.

Crennel removes himself as Chiefs’ defensive coordinator
By ADAM TEICHER

Romeo Crennel


In an effort to fix some of the many problems ailing the 1-7 Chiefs, head coach Romeo Crennel announced today that he has giving up his duties as the defensive coordinator, handing them over to linebackers coach Gary Gibbs.

The Chiefs also released starting cornerback Stanford Routt, signed last winter as a free agent, and signed defensive lineman Shaun Smith, a former Chief.

In relinquishing the defensive coordinator duties, Crennel said he was trying to eliminate the perception that he’s spending too much time on that side of the ball and ignoring the offense.

“I will continue to be in meetings sometimes,” Crennel said. “I will meet with Gary on a regular basis as well as I do with (offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and special teams coach Tom McMahon) to know what the game plan is and what’s going on there. But I’m going to spent more time with the whole team and less time with the defense.

“We have a young team and some guys, the perception may be that I’m a defensive coach , that I’m a defensive coordinator, and I don’t care about other parts of the team, which is not true. But their perception may be that. By my being with them more, I think they will see I’m concerned about the whole team.”

Routt was one of the Chiefs’ big off-season, free-agent signings. He replaced Brandon Carr, who left as a free agent for Dallas.

When the Chiefs signed Routt, who played seven years with the Raiders, coaches said they would have to integrate him into their way of doing things.

“The transition was taking a little bit longer than I thought it was going to take,” Crennel said, “so we just felt like it was time to part ways.

“He was trying to learn the system and he trying to adapt and making some progress at that but I needed it to be faster. I thought it was going to be faster but it wasn’t happening so I made the move.”

Routt missed last week’s game against San Diego because of what the Chiefs called an injured hamstring. Javier Arenas started in his place and Crennel said Arenas would probably start in next Monday’s game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Smith, who played with the Chiefs in 2010, takes Routt’s 53-man roster spot after signing a contract for the final eight games of the season.

The move gives the Chiefs depth at defensive line. Glenn Dorsey reinjured his calf in last week’s game against San Diego. Dorsey missed the previous four games and played against the Chargers before leaving the game for good with the injury.

Smith was one of the more popular players while he was with the Chiefs because of his outgoing personality. He played in all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2010, starting 10. He left after the season to sign with Tennessee, where he played last year.

Smith had not played in the NFL this season. He previously played for New Orleans, Cleveland and Cincinnati in his nine-year NFL career.

Good job on that whole Carr for Route swap, Doucholi. Fuck you and the crabcake you rode in on.

But their perception may be that. By my being with them more, I think they will see I’m concerned about the whole team.”


Whoa. RAC admitting that he's dangerously close to losing the team. I assume it's already happened, but coaches rarely admit as much.

[Chiefnj2]

"However, the combination of Javier Arenas and Travis Daniels was clearly out of its depth as outside corners in Routt’s absence. Arenas has built a reputation as a solid return man and slot corner, but in combination with Daniels the Chiefs’ right corner spot allowed all nine of their targets to be caught for 127 yards and the back shoulder score by Malcom Floyd at the start of the fourth quarter. That the Chargers never chose to target Brandon Flowers once in this game only serves to highlight the Chiefs’ struggles opposite him."

“The transition was taking a little bit longer than I thought it was going to take,” Crennel said, “so we just felt like it was time to part ways.

"Further proof that Crennel is CLUELESS - Routt SUCKS ASS JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE TEAM. They didn't have to "integrate" anything.

Why am I so dumb.

Fact: Routt has been terrible.
Fact: Attendence will be down 60% for the balance of the year.
Fact: Season ticket renewals will take a huge hit.

Routt's entire contract was not guaranteed so cutting him will save money.

I get Carr should have been resigned, but you can't change history. You have to deal with the present.

You gave him HALF A SEASON to get adjusted. And a lost one at that. What better time to learn than a worthless, lost season?

Gotta be something else. He was missing meetings. He mouthed off to coaches. He stole shit from teammates' lockers. Something.

Route is probably an ubber-douche...it's part of being a raider.

That said, it's on no one but the GM, Scott Pioli for making that rat-shit decision and trying to sell it as sunshine up the collective ass of this fanbase.

I hope a waiter defecates in Pioli's dinner tonight.



We've felt like the Quarterback was a "little slow to come around too".

Routt wasn't playin well but he was seriously light years ahead of Daniels.
