Romeo Crennel

We need to work here a little bit longer and develop this team more.

When that happens I think the tempo of practice is better because guys are running plays that they know. Hopefully, we can improve some of the things we are doing.

— Romeo Crennel hope

We are excited to add someone of Willies caliber and experience to our team. He will provide us leadership on defense and with our younger players. I look forward to working with him again.

— Romeo Crennel war

Well, were just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. Theyre playoff teams youre competing with, and were not there yet.

— Romeo Crennel good

Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, thats when we get penalties.

— Romeo Crennel thought

You guys always ask me about the backup here and there and their starter is not playing,

Wellington knew the business, ... He knew football in and out. He knew good coaches and bad coaches, good players and bad players, and he always had an affection for coaches and players.

— Romeo Crennel business

We identify the players we have to do something about and then figure how were going to do it. If it turns out to be what we did in New England, it will be because it gives us the best chance with who we have.

— Romeo Crennel will

Well play them both (in Chicago) and find out which one we think is best. If we dont think one of them is best, well play them both.

— Romeo Crennel think

Were going to work out a couple guys and see if we can find somebody to fill that spot. Thats why its good that the game is on Sunday and not (yesterday). I think that the backup center-guard is not as valuable as the backup tackle spot. So if you can get a backup tackle that you like and that has some upside, I think you can go ahead and make that move.

— Romeo Crennel work

We said when he got here that he would have to work his way up. I told my coaches that there arent going to be any battlefield promotions out on the field. Hes going to have to go through the process. When he shows us he knows the system and hes getting the job done, then hell move up.

— Romeo Crennel work

We said if we got the ball to the 22 or 23 we had the opportunity for a field goal. We thought we would put it on Phil because hes been consistent for us all year. The problem was we got the penalty and that hurt us.

— Romeo Crennel hurt

Whenever Braylon gets here, hes going to have to try and catch up. We are going to be playing games and we are not going to have time to try to catch him up the way he needs to be caught up because we have to prepare for an opponent. Hes just going to have to deal with that and understand that. Thats just the way it is whether its Braylon Edwards or whoever.

— Romeo Crennel war

Weve identified some guys we may be interested in if they become available.

— Romeo Crennel

Weve just got to play smarter. If we play smarter football, then well give ourselves a chance to win some games.

— Romeo Crennel art

When you do that youve got to look at production, youve got to look at the guy, the quarterback, look at the receivers. Were going to do all of that.

— Romeo Crennel art

The punter did good and for him to go out in the conditions and punt the way he did was good. He made a good tackle on the return. Im sure his confidence is lifted after that performance. Hes been in the NFL and its a production business and he went out there and produced and helped us to win.

— Romeo Crennel business

With concussions, there is some sensitivity to light, so he didnt come outside.

— Romeo Crennel light

When you have a performance like we had, everything needs work, ... We have to go back and re-emphasize fundamentals and try to get good at the basics. Well go back and look at this offense. When you have trouble, you identify what the problems are and try to fix them.

— Romeo Crennel work

We have to feel like whoever they put on the field is the best in our division.

— Romeo Crennel vision

We have a chance to be a little more competitive. We have to play the Super Bowl champ twice and Cincinnati, a playoff team, twice. And Baltimore is still tough. Were in a tough division, and, hopefully, with the guys we added, we can be competitive. We know it wont be easy.

— Romeo Crennel hope

To my knowledge, no contract has been signed. Maybe theyre still working that out.

— Romeo Crennel knowledge

(Wright) has been working hard ever since he has been with us, learning the system. It is a credit to him that he was able to come in here, get the game plan and run the ball into the end zone.

— Romeo Crennel work

Weve had some success in pass protection. We have to work to become as efficient in the running game. But so far, the experience weve added to the team has paid off.

— Romeo Crennel success

We wanted to see how Charlie would handle the surprise start, and it looked like he handled it pretty good. I think his numbers looked pretty good in the first half. He did a nice job.

— Romeo Crennel art

You dont need to get up and toss the ball to a guy. You dont need to get up and point the ball in a guys face. You just get up and go back to the huddle. Give the ball to the official.

— Romeo Crennel you

When you see guys like that get jobs, ... there is hope.

— Romeo Crennel hope

The penalties picked up in some crucial situations and on two punt returns and on a field goal that wouldve clinched the victory. We missed the re-kick to add some drama to the game.

— Romeo Crennel drama

Were still working on it and theres still a possibility we might get him done before free agency starts. Just like the extra two days hurts us in some cases, it helps us in that case.

— Romeo Crennel art

Were looking at everything, and if we determine that a personnel move needs to be made, then well make a personnel move - at whatever position it is.

— Romeo Crennel hate

We didnt do anything good or right. Im embarrassed getting beat like that.

— Romeo Crennel good

We didnt play very good at all. We didnt bring any energy in the second half. It was a good opportunity for us to get a win, but we didnt take advantage of it.

— Romeo Crennel good

Were just not good enough within the division overall.

— Romeo Crennel good

Working with the quarterback and being able to handle the offense is a major factor with the GMs throughout the league,

— Romeo Crennel art

We still have a long way to go, ... Were going to be competitive with this team at some point. When that is, I dont know.

— Romeo Crennel wit

We still have a lot of work to do. Thats why you look at the preseason with a jaded eye. Teams arent playing their starters the whole game.

— Romeo Crennel art

The fact that he was able to maintain his cool and was able to get into a rhythm and make some plays, I think that says that he can handle some tough situations. Thats what you want from your quarterback.

— Romeo Crennel art

Were gonna have to try to get us a pass rusher.

— Romeo Crennel

Were gonna see whos the best, and thats who were gonna play.

— Romeo Crennel play

Were still in the hole and weve got to battle to get even again. When you have a performance like we had, everything needs work. We have to get good at the basics and try to give ourselves a chance.

— Romeo Crennel work

We felt like he was going in (to the 2005 season) until he got hurt. Now he has to come back and prove that he is. Thats the thing about this game.

— Romeo Crennel hurt

When we get the results on that, well let you know.

— Romeo Crennel you

What were not able to get done in free agency well get done in the draft.

— Romeo Crennel age

We were beaten by a very good football team. The score was evident of that. We couldnt do anything on either side of the ball and that is what happens when you get beat like that.

— Romeo Crennel good

When everyone else was going 4-3 and saying they had to get big pass rushers on the field, the Steelers said, This is what we do. We recruit guys that fit our system. Theyve been successful at it. You have to take your hat off to them. I have a lot of respect for them.

— Romeo Crennel success

We have to play smarter, ... If we play smarter, we will give ourselves a chance to win some games. If we dont play smarter, we wont give ourselves the chance we need. Thats what were going to emphasize to the team.

— Romeo Crennel art

Were 2-2 and all that means is were .500.

— Romeo Crennel

We took a step back today. Now we have to go back to the drawing board, start over and try to dig ourselves out of a hole.

— Romeo Crennel art

We took a step back, which is disappointing. We are still trying to find out about this team. We have to retrace some ground that we thought we had improved on. We have to go back to the fundamentals and basics again.

— Romeo Crennel men

We made too many mistakes. Were still getting penalties, even though it has improved, theyre coming at critical times.

— Romeo Crennel time

We looked like a football team today. We were able to run the ball a little.

— Romeo Crennel day

Today, I?m going to enjoy this victory. I?m not worried about any rumors. I?m not talking about any rumors. So I?m going to enjoy the New Year.

— Romeo Crennel joy

We thought we would be able to come in here and be more representative of what we were as far as the game was concerned, but we took a step back today. And now we have to go to the drawing board and start over and try to dig ourselves out of a hole.

— Romeo Crennel art

Weve got to take it from the paper and put it on the field. Thats where the test comes in.

— Romeo Crennel

What I have to try to do is get guys to do their job to the best of their ability and make good choices while theyre doing that. You have to make good choices while youre out there. Then, if you find out a guy cannot make good choices, you need to try to replace him.

— Romeo Crennel choices

What we need is some pass rush production. Whether thats a pass rusher or some exotic new schemes, which probably were not going to have those. So were going to try to get us a pass-rush rusher to help us improve our sack production.

— Romeo Crennel help

Gary Baxter has very good size for his position, with tackling and coverage skills. His tenacious play and extra effort is also impressive. Garys experience on a dominant defense and the attitude he brings to the game will certainly enhance our efforts on the defensive side of the ball.

— Romeo Crennel experience

Garys experience on a dominant defense and the attitude he brings to the game will certainly enhance our efforts on the defensive side of the ball.

— Romeo Crennel experience

Hes a smart kid with some quickness, and its a tribute that he was able to step in today and get it done.

— Romeo Crennel art

Going into training camp, everybody competes for a job. Well have a good competition in training camp for the quarterback job, as well as for the defensive end job, the linebacker job, the running back job and all of them.

— Romeo Crennel art

He might be overshadowed in some peoples minds, ... but never in my mind. If you dont account for him, youll wish you had.

— Romeo Crennel people

He never said anything and he never complained, ... Im very respectful of what he has done for the NFL and for the Giants.

— Romeo Crennel respect

Hell probably miss the year. Hopefully this time next year, hell be on the field.

— Romeo Crennel hope

He has some quickness. He has excellent quickness. ... His strength is his quickness.

— Romeo Crennel strength

He just didnt catch on with the scheme early on.

— Romeo Crennel wit

He cannot come back until the medical staff releases him.

— Romeo Crennel

He developed some of that consistency that I was looking for.

— Romeo Crennel

He did a lot for this city, this team, and the NFL, period. We have a mural on the wall when our players come in the door, and there is Paul Brown kneeling on the sideline. We realize hes a major part of the history of this team, and we dont want to forget that.

— Romeo Crennel art

He had a tough game on Saturday, but hell bounce back from it. My thoughts about Charlie really havent changed. I knew there was going to be a tough game at some point along the line. This team posed a lot of issues for him, and how he recovers from that will be a big indicator of what his abilities are.

— Romeo Crennel change

He was a solid, down-to-earth person, ... If you didnt know that he was the owner of an NFL team, you couldnt tell by his actions. He had no ego about him.

— Romeo Crennel art

He was a great person, as well as being a great player. That combination doesnt come along very often. So, this tribute to him is well-deserved.

— Romeo Crennel being

He was frisky (Wednesday) until we got to conditioning. He wasnt as frisky then. Hes doubtful for Sunday. The doctor will look at him and evaluate him after todays practice, and then well see.

— Romeo Crennel doubt

Hopefully, we can get him to the point that he can do some drills with us and well bring him along in the next couple weeks.

— Romeo Crennel hope

Hes doing pretty good. Hes still out there in the rotation, so thats a plus.

— Romeo Crennel good

He should be able to run it right now. If he cant, he hasnt been working out enough.

— Romeo Crennel work

Hes into the game, and hes always been into the game since the very first game. Hes up, and hes energetic and he tries to get the guys around him involved. I think the way he played yesterday got the guys around him involved, particularly the offensive line.

— Romeo Crennel art

Hes energized. Hes having fun. Hopefully, that can correlate to success on the field.

— Romeo Crennel hope

He still works hard and runs good routes. If anything, hes had one or two drops at critical situations that if he had made those plays, we would say that his training camp continued to the regular season. He made those drops, and that shows a sign of inconsistency.

— Romeo Crennel work

His injury was a head injury and the doctors will know when he is allowed to come back on the field. Until they say its okay, we are not going to put him back out there. I think its the normal medical process. Concussions are injuries that deal with the head and if you want to say that were being cautious, then you can say that.

— Romeo Crennel you

Charlie did a pretty nice job for not knowing he was going to start. His quarterback rating was (118.8). Thats not bad for a young guy to go and be able to win on the road.

— Romeo Crennel art

Charlie has stepped in, and he has performed and done a nice job. At this point, hes ahead of Doug. I feel like hes done enough to warrant the No. 2 spot.

— Romeo Crennel war

Basically, youre looking at an average kind of team.

— Romeo Crennel age

Carolina would be good any game, really, because theyre a good team. Two years ago they were in the Super Bowl and if it hadnt been for the injuries last year they might have been back again. We will find out a little about who we are with them coming in here.

— Romeo Crennel good

I dont know where Len got the information from, but maybe he should say where he got it from, ... He didnt get it from me. If he would name that person and say where he got the information from, then I would like to talk to that person.

— Romeo Crennel person

I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didnt get a job. I felt if it didnt happen this year, it probably wouldnt. But I was resolute and confident with where I was. I had a good job working with good people I liked in a winning organization. A lot of guys are looking for that. If it didnt happen, I would have just continued to do what I was doing.

— Romeo Crennel art

I dont know if (Suggs) will play this week, but well see if he can handle the ball.

— Romeo Crennel will

I dont think people felt like we would keep teams from scoring the way that they have done at this point,

— Romeo Crennel people

If a guy starts developing a pattern, then you need to do something about it to change that pattern, ... So far this year, this is Bryants first call and Edwards first call. Im not going to throw them out with the bath water.

— Romeo Crennel war

I dont think hes gotten as many looks as some other receivers have gotten,

— Romeo Crennel man

I dont think (ESPN) knows exactly what theyre talking about, ... Ill tell you what I told the team. I told them it was B.S. I dont know where (the reporter) got the information. Maybe he should say where he got it from, but he didnt get it from me.

— Romeo Crennel you

If (Droughns) is hot, well try to keep him hot and go that way,

— Romeo Crennel

I asked Maurice what happened and he told me. That was it. I really wasnt worried that Antonio and I would have a confrontation. If he did, well, Im the head coach.

— Romeo Crennel real

I anticipate that Phil Savage is the general manager and he will continue.

— Romeo Crennel man

I anticipate that Phil Savage is the general manager, and I think he will continue in that job. I saw him this morning and hes going about his job as he always does.

— Romeo Crennel man

I could sit up here and say it was to try to justify the performance, but I dont think that was the case. We just werent very good for awhile.

— Romeo Crennel man

I feel good about the win and although it brought to an end the 2005 season it was our first game and win in 2006 and were excited about that.

— Romeo Crennel good

I feel good for Dennis to make some plays. Hes wanted to be a playmaker and he knew he could do it and we knew he could do it. The pass play for the touchdown was a big momentum play for us.

— Romeo Crennel men

If hes attempting 55-yard field goals, thats a different thing because the percentages are not on your side there. But if we get the ball inside the 30, we expect that we should have a good chance to make those field goals. Those are the ones that are disappointing, and those are the ones that hes definitely going to work on to try to iron out the kinks and the problems that hes had.

— Romeo Crennel work

If he goes on the market, then we have Plan B and Plan C and all those things we need to have ready.

— Romeo Crennel read

If he keeps progressing, he might continue to move (up). But Im not ready to put him in the Hall of Fame yet.
