Anybody listening to the Travis Daniels clips on the Border Patrol right now?

[htismaqe]

Apparently TJ Carpenter asked him on Sports Night last night if Romeo is the same guy now that he's the head coach.

It's hard to transcribe verbatim when I'm listening to it live but he essentially said:

"He's pretty much the same guy. There's some things that are different like we can't ask him questions on the sideline now like we could before."

TJ thought that was pretty damning (as he should) and said like "wait, you can't ask him about the defensive playcalling? What do you do then?"

Daniels said "we just have to look for somebody else to ask."

WOW.

It seems like it would be somewhat better to give Carthon an increased role and allow him to manage the game at times. This isn't good and RAC needs to be able to communicate. This is almost as bad as Haley's three man playcalling system.

I like Crennel even though I don't think he's the best HC but if the defense doesn`t vastly improve within the next two games, it`s clear he can`t handle being both the HC and DC. That being said, guys like D. Johnson, Hali and Berry shouldn't need great coaching to look good on the field. They have been at best invisible so far.

Forget the coaching, they NEED TO KNOW THE FRICKIN PLAYCALL.

This is a cluster**** EASILY on par with Haley. In fact, it's worse because

1) Romeo isn't a first-time head coach and

2) Romeo was hand-picked by Pioli to purge this kind of Haley-esque crap from the team.

NO, NO, NO.

If Carthon is going to manage the game, MAKE HIM HEAD COACH.

The ONLY course of action here is to HIRE A DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR.

Anything else and Romeo as head coach is a failure and he needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY.

I heard about this as well. This is just infuriating. It is no wonder the defense gets worst as the game goes on.

Defensive Coordinator should be talking to his guys and they should all be working on adjustments while the offense is on the field. Instead Romeo has to do everything else that is involved in coaching the team such as challenges, timeouts, etc.

How in the **** can a coach run a team like this?


No wonder there are no adjustments. The coach isn't communicating with the players to make the ****ing adjustments.

This interview pissed me off.

[htismaqe]

Like I said, if Haley was a disaster, what does that make this?

Absolutely inexcusable.

It suddenly makes a lot of sense, and come to think of it every time the camera swings over to RAC on the sidelines he’s talking on his headset or got his face buried in a play chart. I don’t recall seeing him talk to any of the players during the game.

[the Talking Can]

we managed to downgrade the only strength on our team...brilliant

[Fish]

Unbelievable.....

[TrickyNicky]

During the last 3 games last season, what was different from the way the team communicates now? I can't imagine much has structurally changed on the D side of things.

If you can, go back and watch the preseason game against Seattle. In the second quarter after another 3 and out Cassel comes off the field and Daboll walks right up to him and starts talking to Cassel. Hes pretty animated but not yelling. Cassel just keeps on walking never even glances at Daboll. Daboll just gives up and lets Cassel go pout on the bench. No reason to talk to any of the guys on this team because they aint listening. Ive said it before and Ill say it again You may have hated him but there was a reason Haley was always yelling at these ass holes cause that is the only thing they deserved.
