Crennel's been really good about giving you the company line for the last several weeks.

I'll give Pioli this - he got himself a hell of a soldier to be the HC of this team. There's no way that Crennel is going to leave the reservation on him.

When Scott says "jump", Romeo will definitely say "are you ****ing kidding me? Jump?"....but then when Scott says "Fair point...Alright, go make me a sandwich", Romeo will definitely ask him if he wants extra mayo on it.

So DJ, if they infact resign Orton, what are your feelings about Crennel?

I think he knows that Cassel is a defense killer and wants no part of him. I'd say there is a massive struggle going on at Arrowhead between him and Scott about the golden boy.

Romeo Crennel: 'It's More About Brian Daboll Than Matt Cassel'

One of the reasons I thought the Kansas City Chiefs hired Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator was because he ran an offense similar to the one in which Matt Cassel has had his most success. Maybe that played a role in the hire but it wasn't the overwhelming reason why Daboll was hired, Romeo Crennel said on Tuesday.

"It's more about Brian than it is Matt Cassel," Crennel said on a conference call with KC reporters this morning.

Crennel said Daboll was the first person he offered the coordinator job to and that the search took so long because Daboll was under contract with the Miami Dolphins. He also indicated that the Dolphins wanted to keep him and other teams were interested in him as well.

As for the the offense he'll run, Crennel said when you compare it to KC's offense last year or New England or Miami, it's more like the Dolphins. "You can see some no huddle, you can see some multiple tight ends, you can see some two back, some one back, so we can see it all," Crennel said. He also mentioned having balance in the offense as far as the running and passing game is concerned.

We'll have some more details on what he said about the staff (right after I eat at this Chinese buffet for lunch...yeah, we're a real professional operation around here). Check our Twitter feed -- @ArrowheadPride -- for a few more details, including Crennel's expectation that Jim Zorn will remain with the staff.

Was this a Pioli hire or a Crennel hire? We will never know....

Daboll asked about Chiefs offense: "The first word I want to use is attack."

If they sign Orton, I'll soften a whole lot of stances.

If they sign Orton and signal a further commitment to the position in this year's draft or the next (depending on how the respective drafts fall), then I'll go from softening hatred to outright support.

I'm not inflexible here, but to this point Pioli has been. I'll continue to give him a chance to change my mind, but through 3 seasons I'm certainly not impressed and given what we've seen from him, I hold out little hope that he'll suddenly do a 180.

Can we use Charles the same way that they used Bush?

Ok good to know.

I don't really see much we could do to upgrade in this years draft. Maybe Tannehill if he is still around.

If they re-sign Orton and draft Tannehill I'll be happy.

Daboll: "I have a lot of confidence in Matt Cassel. I've watched him on tape. I know the player."

O.city · 02-07-2012, 11:14 AM

Damn it man.

O.city · 02-07-2012, 11:15 AM

Hopefully this is just coach speak and him not wanting to throw a player under the bus.

Although I remember Weis saying he was here to fix the qb before he even started anything.

He'll get over that fast. Every other coach here has.

Micjones · 02-07-2012, 11:16 AM

What else is Daboll going to say about Cassel?

FringeNC · 02-07-2012, 11:17 AM

I'm more concerned about whether Pioli really brings in competition for Cassel. I'm guessing it'll be a Derek Anderson instead of Kyle Orton.
