Peter Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 When things were messy in the ny media and rex was back and forth taking play calling from him, allegedly he was the guy talking to the press about what was going on behind the scenes Thanks.
hondo in seattle Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Rex and Roman will ground and pound till they have a franchise QB. The OL will use roadgraders for that, less complicated but a big challenge. I agree but I'll add that Roman is supposed to be a mad scientist at designing running planes that create lanes for the backs. In other words, he doesn't necessarily need offensive linemen who can maul people.

Since 1972 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 So he screwed up and said something he shouldn't have. I say we burn him. Maybe just give him a warning point.
NoSaint Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 regarding Kromer's drama in Chicago.. Kromer had to meet the media Friday, and it was sad to watch as he apologized before brushing off probing questions from an inquisitive media bunch. He was obviously instructed to keep a tight lid on his thoughts. It made him look weak and foolish, two words no one uses to describe Kromer, a widely respected coach who is now the talk of the NFL. Fall guy, though, would fit him perfectly. I bet most folks in league circles can sympathize with him. Lets get this straight: An assistant coach talking anonymously to a reporter isnt news. Its not particularly smart to rip your own star player to a national reporter, especially when its the incendiary Cutler, who was signed to a now-ridiculous contract by the general manager. But its not some wild and outrageous act. Anonymous coaches and scouts, not to mention players and agents, are how this leagues media, not to mention all of major college and professional sports media, get stories. Youre either naive or a media hypocrite if this offends you. As Cutler said, the shock wasnt that Kromer talked out of turn, it was that he apologized. I think we were all a little bit surprised, he said. I think not so much that it happened, but that he stepped in front of us and apologized; he was owning up to it. Because like I said, everyone has made mistakes and said things in the media and said things to other players in passing that we regret, but not many of us step up in front of everybody and apologize and own it the way he did. I think we left that meeting in a better place than we started. ~ taken from http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/tag/_/name/aaron-kromer but more importantly, here's a link to what Kromer was doing in NO. we're gonna need work getting our linemen to second level defenders but i think his, and Roman's creativity will combine to create Billsynergy! yeah, i know.. that was a stretch.. http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2013/3/21/4092368/chicago-bears-playbook-aaron-kromer-run-offense Roman and kromer were two I wanted marrone to target - I think they will be a fun pair. Not a promise for success but a very smart hard working pair that can get it done up front

Not a promise for success but a very smart hard working pair that can get it done up front That's more brainpower and success combined on the offensive side of the ball than this franchise has had in a long time...think Rex has learned a thing or two?
John from Riverside Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 It must be nice for everyone on this board to be so god damn perfect Let me tell you something point blank I respect someone that made a mistake and then had the cohones to actually step up and admit it then all the people out there that are just as imperfect that deflect or hide their mistakes.... It shows charactor
billsfan1959 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Roman and kromer were two I wanted marrone to target - I think they will be a fun pair. Not a promise for success but a very smart hard working pair that can get it done up front I wanted Roman as well. I think Ryan and Roman have the potential to give this team a real identity - one much like the Ravens and Steelers have been known for through the years: Tough, physical, and aggressive on both sides of the ball. As far as OL coach, I wasn't sure who Roman would bring; however, I like what Kromer did in NO and in Chicago in 2013 (when he was the OL coach as well as OC). More than that, I am a big fan of Roman and what he wants to do, and Kromer is his pick for his OL coach. That is good enough for me. As far as what Kromer did in Chicago? He made a mistake and owned up to it. All indications are that he has been highly respected by his players through the years. I judge him on his body of work, not by one mistake. Hopefully it all translates into success on the field this year. That is the only thing that will matter in the end.

It shows charactor First of all, accountability doesn't end with an apology. Character is everyday and this just happened a few months ago so it's not like people are noting something that is miles in the past. We discuss issues/concerns here. It's a fan message board. Don't get yourself so exercised.
