Bill Romanowski says the hit Azeez Al-Shaair laid on Trevor Lawrence over the weekend was “abso-fricken-lutely” a dirty one … but in true Romo fashion, he tells TMZ Sports he “loved” it!! !
The play unfolded in the second quarter of the Texans’ tilt with the Jaguars on Sunday … as Jacksonville’s star quarterback was running for a first down.
This should be a suspension for the rest of the season for Azeez Al-Shaair – UNACCEPTABLE, dangerous attack

Romanowski told us just after the NFL hit the Houston tackler with the ban that he really felt for Al-Shaair, noting the situation was a bang-bang, hard-to-avoid one.But, he did relent it was “dirty. He did admit that it was “dirty.” “But,” he added, “it wasn’t clean.” “ Al-Shaair will have the opportunity to appeal his suspension — and given the way Texans general manager Nick Caserio
slammed the NFL
for its ruling, it seems that’ll be likely.
Either way, though, Romanowski said his advice to Al-Shaair from here would be to not let off the gas going forward … but just “control it a little bit” better.
“The last thing you want to do is take that aggression away from your defense,” he said. “You don’t want to take away that aggression from your defense,” he said. He is what he does. “
