Romeo Crennel Good Quotations

Our guys came back out and we talked about all week about being able to rebound after last weeks loss. The guys came back and fought hard. Our defense did a good job the whole game. The offense got off to a slow start, but then came on and were able to move the ball and score some points.

From a personnel standpoint, there is not a tremendous amount of options, ... We think the guys who are out there have a chance for us to get a good return. We are not making good choices. Some of them have been close choices, but they get called, so that's on us.

(Frye) had some bad plays and then he came back and made some good plays. This is a good learning experience for him.

It's a good thing that they're trying to get it worked out.

If he's attempting 55-yard field goals, that's 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 he's definitely going to work on to try to iron out the kinks and the problems that he's had.

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. We'll go back and look at this offense. When you have trouble, you identify what the problems are and try to fix them.

Phil is a good personnel guy. We have a good working relationship just like I have a good working relationship with everyone in the building.

Phil is a good personnel guy. I talk to him. He talks to me. I think I can have a little input.

It's good that he's out there moving around and doing a little bit. We're encouraged but we still don't have a timetable. We'll just have to see how it goes.

The team is making slow progress. We did some things better in Texas. Not good enough grant you, but better.

If we can hang into the fourth quarter, we are probably going to win our share. We'll probably lose some, too. But we won this one, and that's good for our team and it should carry us a little ways.

If we can get our first-day guys to make a contribution and get a couple of the guys from the second day to also help, then we would have improved in the draft process. That?s what we?re working on. We?re trying to improve and we feel good about where we are.

If we can get him on the field and get him some playing time, I think that would be good. It'd be good just to get him out there in pads, get him used to his teammates and the communication that's involved.

I thought Jeff came in and did a reasonably good job for his team. He avoided the bad plays.

He still works hard and runs good routes. If anything, he's 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.

I think the acquisition of good players lets the fans know we're trying to get the team better.

We didn't play very good at all. We didn't bring any energy in the second half. It was a good opportunity for us to get a win, but we didn't take advantage of it.

We didn't do anything good or right. I'm embarrassed getting beat like that.

The blood supply and blood flow into the wrist is somewhat minimal. He has a piece of a bone in there that was taking a long time (to heal). It's gotten better because of the fact that he's had a cast on. After the season, they're going to take a real good look at it and determine if they need to go in and do something or if it's healed enough to maybe he can do enough without the cast.

Gary Baxter has very good size for his position, with tackling and coverage skills. His tenacious play and extra effort is also impressive. Gary's 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.

I did wonder whether it would happen or not. Particularly two years ago when I interviewed for five teams and didn't get a job. I felt if it didn't happen this year, it probably wouldn't. 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 didn't happen, I would have just continued to do what I was doing.

I could sit up here and say it was to try to justify the performance, but I don't think that was the case. We just weren't very good for awhile.

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.

We're just not good enough within the division overall.

Not much has changed. If they're not good enough to practice today or tomorrow, then it will be tough for them (to play) on Sunday.

I feel good for Dennis to make some plays. He's 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.

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 we're excited about that.

Going into training camp, everybody competes for a job. We'll 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.

Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet.

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 they're doing that. You have to make good choices while you're out there. Then, if you find out a guy cannot make good choices, you need to try to replace him.

We're going to work out a couple guys and see if we can find somebody to fill that spot. That's why it's 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.

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. I'm sure his confidence is lifted after that performance. He's been in the NFL and it's a production business and he went out there and produced and helped us to win.

I know that he wasn't perfect because he screwed some things up, but I think he's showed us enough that we feel like he can grow and develop to be a return man in the NFL. We feel good about his abilities and potential.

If it had started tonight, we would've been in a better position. We're in a position and we feel good about where we are. It might take a couple of guys off the table. That's OK, too.

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.

I'm disappointed in the way everybody played. You don't do good when you lose. You can't be happy about anything, can you?

We were beaten by a very good football team. The score was evident of that. We couldn't do anything on either side of the ball and that is what happens when you get beat like that.

We're still in the hole and we've 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.

It didn't look good in the first half but the second half, it all went downhill. Even though it's 20-0, if you get a score you can get back in the game. But we let them run 80 yards for a touchdown and then didn't do anything at all.

I think Carolina would be a good game anytime because they are a good team. I told the team that two years ago Carolina was in the Super Bowl. If it hadn't been for the injuries they had last year they might have been back there again.

I think Ben might be a little bit better than I initially thought he was in training camp, ... There was some talk about injuries with him and being better in pass coverage than the run. I think overall he's doing a pretty good job. Nothing great, but he is fitting into the system and understanding more about the defense. He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.

Reuben continues to run hard and give a good effort. We'll keep having him run to give us some life.

Carolina would be good any game, really, because they're a good team. Two years ago they were in the Super Bowl and if it hadn't 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.
