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.

With Berry here I thought this team should blitz more... with safeties who can't cover at all, I'm not sure I can stand by that. |

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. |

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. |

If we think a defense that features Houston, Sabby and McGraw in zones all day is gonna stop ANYONE, we deserve to get the shit kicked out of us. |

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. |

![]() 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.
