Herm's trying to boost the confidence of the defense. It's the same reason why he didn't call a timeout near the end of the game. He's trying to show he has faith in them.
He's new in KC. He hasn't lost faith in them yet like the fans have and like DV did. If DV was still coach he would have been supporting Crennel on the pass to Jurevicius. "Hey ref, he's right - our guy did push him out. He would have gotten both feet in. Give them the 6. Not only give them the 6, we'll concede the extra point. Time's a wasting for our offense."

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
