Romeo Crennel Downplays The Kyle Orton Vs. Tim Tebow Angle

The Kansas City Chiefs are playing the Denver Broncos in Week 17 and you know plenty of media folks (and me) are readying up some stories involving the battle of former Denver quarterbacks -- Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow.
Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel is trying to get a head start on downplaying that angle.
He told the Denver media this week that he talked with the team about the "Orton vs. the Broncos or Kyle vs. Tebow" hoopla and keeping the focus on the Chiefs vs. the Broncos.
"Every player that I know wants to play good against their old team," Crennel said Wednesday, via KCChiefs.com. "And so he would like to play good and I'm sure he would like to win the game. And that's what I told him this morning, I said your job is to help your team win."
Well...I'd say good luck trying to drown out the Orton vs. Tebow noise. The Chiefs-Broncos game is probably the second biggest (as in most-hyped) game of the week. The story lines will involve Tebow either leading his team to the playoffs or Tebow blowing it, with ESPN showing highlights of the game again (and again...and again) talking about what this game does to Tebow's legacy. (You know that's what will happen, win or lose.)

He looks like a person patiently waiting for the crown that he's sure he's earned.

The weight of the fans' Tebow chants have flattened his hair and driven his head all the way to the base of his neck.

This is why Romeo should not be the head coach.
This is Ricky where Stanzi should make his start in the NFL.
There is a certain "code" in the NFL that if there is a game with playoff implications, that you play the starters.

In the book labeled
Common Sense… Ever read it?
What a year! At least we have the Royals... Oh Wait!
What about when you rest your players for the playoffs. There breaking your so called code.
THERE IS NO SO CALLED CODE IN THE NFL> IF THERE IS SHOW IT TO ME IN THE RULES!!!

Ummm
There is a difference in resting players because you are in the playoffs and not putting your starters out on the field when the other team is in a playoff race. You keep thinking with your head in the sand… Good Day Sir.
What a year! At least we have the Royals... Oh Wait!
Code shmode.
Q: There are some teams are looking at you guys to help them out and give them a chance, is that an important factor at all in preserving the integrity of the season?
CRENNEL: "No. Us winning, that preserves some integrity for us. I don’t care about those other guys. They are probably cheering for us and they want us to do good, but they can’t go play the game for us. We’re the ones who have to play the game so the things that we have on the line are what we just talked about."
I like Romeo, he actually answers the reporters questions
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
personally will only be disappointed if say its somehow a denver blowout, and still we dont see a few series.
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
yeah, if it's a blowout I'd like to see Stanzi
Of course I’d rather it be KC blowing Denver out personally ;)
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
Ending the season
with a huge win in Denver would just plain be AWESOME!
It would only be better if it knocked them out of the playoffs…
What a year! At least we have the Royals... Oh Wait!
puts the raiders in though. Id rather spank denver, then have oakland lose too, and then denver sneaks in for more tebow over exposure
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
or maybe a voyuer ...
more tebow over exposure

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
or...could just look at yourself as the person with the sick mind.
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
This is my favorite scenario too
I don’t think either team will do shit anyways. And they’ll only be able to go on and on about Tebow for one more week. Plus, it should solidfy them sticking with Tebow for at least one more year, which will be one more year of setting their team back.
yep. thats what I mean with tebow. It forces their hand with tebow leading them to the playoffs, regardless of the how

more tebow time on nfl n=tebow on broncos next year and an unhappy elway.
that really difficult to comprehend?
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
Orton will pass for 350 yards 2 TD
and Elway will go down to the sidelines and mule kick John Fox for letting us pick up Orton on the waiver wire while Tebow will Teblow for his 3rd straight lose
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.
watch the possible comp pick from orton leaving turn into our franchise QB :)
Pay Brandon Carr/Romeo
Team Colquitt
Elway should be mule kicking himself
It was his call to cut him.
In the first half
Then Stanzi will come in & throw for 200 & 2 in the 2nd half ;)
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
you aren't helping here, Thorman! ;-)
I’d say good luck trying to drown out the Orton vs. Tebow noise

Has a nice little track record of motivating us in the offseason & propelling us into the Playoffs the following year ,if, recent memory serves…Go Chiefs !!!…
I want to see Orton vs Tebow on Celebrity Death Match.

Do they still make those?

At this point
I would like to see us kill the donkeys playoff hopes. I know that means the Raiders get in. I’m as big a Raider Hater as the next guy, but I am still hoping for that.

It's ok if the raiders make the playoffs.
It could results in a decade of futility to recover from that success. I’ve seen it before.
Oh, its all right to admonish the players to disregard
the Tebow /Orton hype, but this game is Tebow vs. Orton and everyone on the face of the planet knows it………including (I hope) Romeo Crennel.
"The Hammer"
yep. one of the few times where all the tebow talk is valid. they are playing for the division, its a big game.

Romeos already shut em down once
Let’s do it again and leave that bitch ass team with sour grapes and questions about their savior ALL OFFSEASON!
Romeo shut down the Broncos once? I would not say that. I think we have to be grateful they were down to their 3rd running back when they played in KC.
Our offense sucked big time but our defense could never get off the field either. I am afraid that McGahee this time like he did in the 1st game 1st possession will run right past our defense. Denver has something to play for. They will be ready to play.

The Chiefs also have something to play for: PRIDE
The Chiefs are not going to just roll over. They are going to win.
We were down to our 3rd string S
We held em to 10 damn points, 7 on a Langford blown assignment and the “great one” completed 2 damn passes. Our offense is completely different as well, we can actually move the ball which does nothing but help that defense. We shut em down last time and we’re going to this time, PERIOD!!!!!!!! =)
A lot of folks are betting on Orton having a good game. I hope he does but the Denver defense will also be a mission to tell everyone in the staduim that it was a good move on the broncos part.
by NFL season ticket holder on Dec 28, 2011 10:06 PM CST reply actions
Yep, that's what the donkeys are going to tell their fans as they are walking off the field,
tripping on their lower lips when its all over.
I have nothing against Tebow but I think he is over hyped
the Broncos defense has had more to do with their playoff run than anything else.
