Romeo Crennel Nfl Quotations

He was a solid, down-to-earth person, ... If you didn't know that he was the owner of an NFL team, you couldn't tell by his actions. He had no ego about him.

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

That changed that this year to allow the men an opportunity. If he couldn't be around at all then why keep him on the team? I think the NFL realized that and wanted to help the players recover to give them a chance on the team. He'll serve his suspension and we'll look at it in four weeks to see if we need to keep him or want to keep him.

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.

As I have found out, we were supposed to let the NFL know as soon as we found out. We did let the NFL know, but there is some question about whether it was soon enough or not. They are reviewing the incident, and they will make a ruling on it at some point.

They (NFL officials) told us the same thing last year about taunting, ... As guys began to talk more to the opponent, that's where you can get altercations or fights break out. That respect thing happens. The NFL looked at it and said, 'Okay, if we can eliminate some of this one-on-one thing that's going on that causes ill will, then the game will be a better game.' Anything that's directed towards an opposing player is going to be called. There is no excuse.

They had some ability here. Every NFL team has ability. We came in and changed some systems. We decided to do something a little bit different. Maybe all of the pieces here don't exactly fit, but we added some guys to the team who we feel will help us build this team to where we want it to be.

If you look at what happens in the NFL with new coaches, if they don't make progress in the first couple of years, usually they're gone.
