Romeo Crennel Work Quotations

Simon has done a nice job for us as far as his attitude and work ethic. He had determination about making this team and he showed that early on. I think another thing that he has been able to do is make a role for himself on special teams.

I think the approach to the bye week wouldn't have been any different if we would have won the game, ... We want to try and improve the team. We are going to work on areas where we are deficient.

I think that in any organization working toward a common goal, everybody has to get along and work toward that goal. There are different personalities in our organization. Everybody doesn't have to like everybody, but everybody has to work toward a goal. We've worked together and will continue to work together.

I think they'll try to work something out and get a long-term deal done. But if he's not in their price range, they'll do what they do and look somewhere else.

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

We still have a lot of work to do. That's why you look at the preseason with a jaded eye. Teams aren't playing their starters the whole game.

We said when he got here that he would have to work his way up. I told my coaches that there aren't going to be any battlefield promotions out on the field. He's going to have to go through the process. When he shows us he knows the system and he's getting the job done, then he'll move up.

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

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.

I'm going to give Trent the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to try to work out of this slump that he's in. Because he's a professional and has seen a lot of things, I think he has the ability to work his way out of it.

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.
