Giants' candidate Crennel joins Chiefs

One-time Giants assistant and former Browns head coach Romeo Crennel will not be the new Giants defensive coordinator. Crennel has been hired to run the Chiefs defense.

Crenell never interviewed with Tom Coughlin but the Giants did express some interest.

One candidate Coughlin has already interviewed, former Bills head coach Perry Fewell, was in Chicago to speak with head coach Lovie Smith about the Bears defensive coordinator job. Fewell is considered the front-runner.

Fewell, once Coughlin's defensive backs coach with the Jaguars, met last Thursday with Coughlin with the understanding he was in the running for the Bears defensive coordinator job. Fewell worked in St. Louis and Chicago for Smith and it appears the two will work together again.

Another interesting possibility: Mike Zimmer. His contract will soon expire with the Bengals. Zimmer successfully ran the defenses for the Cowboys and Falcons and did a solid job this season in Cincinnati. Zimmer may attract some interest around the league as a potential head-coaching candidate.

Tom Cable is expected to be fired as head coach of the Raiders and if he is, Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride is again likely to get an interview. Gilbride last year interviewed for the job.

Hard to say it ws a fluke considering he performed pretty much game in and out.

We need somebody else to take some snaps.

I completely agree, but I'm also not ready to put limits on Charles, based on what we've seen.

That said, if we can acquire someone to get 5-10 touches, that would seem like a very smart move. Thus keeping Charles at around 15-18 TPG.

The run D's he faced weren't exactly elite. Far from it. OTW posted the stats.

Just something to keep in mind.

Don't care. He punished weak defenses like a good RB should. We need help on the D and O lines, need our WR's to quit dropping passes and most of all, we need our ****ing QB to get his shit together.

JC is the least of my worries. He is proven though I would like to see him spelled a little more cause of his size. And I thought the Bengals were one of the better run defenses?

Thing with that is that Weis may not do wonders for Charles rushing numbers. If the Chiefs are as pass happy as the Patriots were when he was there, and they're plugging in new linemen, as I expect they may be, even with a weapon upgrade or three I think there's a potential for some early season ugliness.

'course it will inevitably also depend on who they end up playing, schedule-wise.

But it should start better than '09. I think it's a fairly safe assumption that Weis won't be fired right before the season.

Fired? No. Quit? If Haley don't tone it down with his coaches.

They're familiar with each other from way back, I doubt that's going to be an issue.

No, I'm not worried about Charles. I'm just saying...

And I'm someone who thinks the Beagles were VERY overrated, but that could just be me.

Good point. Rushing stats could be down as we pass to set up the run. But JC has shown the type of explosiveness that I'd be surprised for him not to excel, even with less carries.

And, Johnly, this might be an ok thing for a smaller back. We'll see.
