I wasn't talking about Romeo here. I was talking about Spags.

Spags is a name at this point.
And no, Romeo isn't a good DC. We built, for 4 years a defensive lineup based on his schem and it still was dirty hair. Read and react defenses aren't shit unless you have elite talent. |

Could be. But he was also teaching zone to a defense used to attacking, and was missing his defensive captain, head coach, and LBs coach to help teach it. I'm not a huge fan of his scheme, but still fair to wonder if it was scheme, or if players were just lost or not fit for the scheme.
I think he'll still be a terrific positions coach. |

He could probably have some success and help players in a 4-3 zone based scheme at both the LB and DB position.

Not a fan of Crennel's scheme (too passive). Players love him but that doesn't necessarily translate to playing well. Crennel should probably retire.

he's a fantastic DC.
Don't forget the miracle he pulled on our defense when he got here.

The guy's schemes are suspect in today's NFL. In an aggressive NFL, it's not a shock that bend don't break rarely works anymore.

What's interesting is that Payton is a Parcells disciple. So back to the OP... wouldn't surprise me if Romeo was very high on Payton's list.

Romeo is bend but don't break. When everyone is doing their job properly, the defense can definitely slow opponents down and confuse them. But too often the D broke down because of missed assignments or whatnot. Also it didn't cause many turnovers or sacks, so it is what it is...
