Rosters For East-West Shrine Game

New Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel is in Orlando for the next week, as he’ll handle the East Squad in the annual East-West Shrine Game.

He can learn a great deal about his new home if he talks with the coach of the West Squad, former Chiefs head coach Marty Schottenheimer. The game will go off next Saturday at 2 p.m. CST from the Citrus Bowl. Practices start on Monday in Florida.

They’ve been playing the Shrine Game for a long time, but it has fallen behind the Senior Bowl in importance for NFL evaluators. That makes the two rosters not nearly as strong as what will be seen in the week after in Mobile.

Right now, there are no players in this game that grade out to first-round status. The closest are Nebraska SS Larry Asante and Mississippi DE Greg Hardy, who are both considered second round talents. There are three players considered third round prospects in the game: TE Dennis Pitta of BYU, FS Kam Chancellor of Virginia Tech and OT Kyle Calloway of Iowa.

There are three KU players in this game: QB Todd Reesing, WR Kerry Meier and SS Darrell Stuckey.

Here are the rosters for the two teams as of Friday:

    Does it really matter if there are no potential first rounders in this game? Romeo Crennell should have the inside track on some sleepers–guy selected in the later rounds who turn out to be productive NFL players (Ryan Succup, Jarrad Page). The first rounders will get a good look over in the Combine. The sleepers make or break a draft.

    I am thrilled that our DC is coaching this game. It can only help our cause. Not only might we have better insight on a late rounder or two, but Romeo will have the knowledge to recommend some of these guys as rookie free agents too. You can’t overlook the undrafted guys. Jovan Belcher was a nice role player for us this year and Maurice Leggett has had his moments too. Not to mention Rudy Niswanger and Mike Cox, who have been starters here for the majority of their careers thus far.

    [...] Rosters For East-West Shrine Game-Bob Gretz.com Well, the relationship between Pioli, Weis and Crennel is continually cited but people (i.e. Trent) forget that the relationship with Haley, Weis and Crennel goes back a decade as well. Pioli may have the more recent familiarity with these coaches in New England, but it’s not like Haley hasn’t used both of them as sounding boards throughout his rise from NFL assistant to head coach.
