Rivers hasn’t lost a beat
Assistant head coach Romeo Crennel, who was also the Texans’ defensive coordinator in 2019, didn’t see a drop off in play with Rivers. Crennel’s evaluation is relevant given he was about to coach against him for the 11th time either as a coach or a defensive coordinator.
“Some of the same things that have allowed him to be an eight-time pro bowler and still be playing in this game at a high level, he had those then and he still has them now,” Crennel said on Sept. 19, 2019.
If Rivers still has those same abilities, then the Texans will have to prepare for them twice a year.
