Re: Crawley the number one rated CB?
I keep saying Ken Crawley is real. His only flaw is that hes light. He can run. He has excellent hands and ball skills and he seems to be a fairly aggressive willing tackler. Of course hell never be a big hitter and bigger WRs could push him around sometimes but it appears that hes a fighter whos gonna make opponents earn whatever they get vs him as well as make em pay if they make a mistake. Hes one of those guys who believes every pass is his.

Re: Crawley the number one rated CB?
I have a question for the football hive-mind here: What are the ideal physical dimensions for a cornerback? Does height matter? Weight?
Darrell Revis: Height 5′ 11″, Weight 198 lbs Richard Sherman: Height 6′ 3″, Weight 194 lbs Chris Harris Jr.: Height 5′ 10″, Weight 198 lbs Brandon Browner: Height 6′ 4″, Weight 220 lbs Ken Crawley: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 180 lbs Patrick Peterson: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 219 lbs Aquib Taleb: Height 6′ 1″, Weight 205 lbs Marcus Peters: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 196 lbs I thought this article was interesting....

He's got some ball hawk-ish skills but he's got a lot to learn and if he'd been in the first 2 games his stats would be waaaaaay worse than this pic that is posted shows. The fact that the stats were achieved against two QBs not playing very well at the time of the games should skew how anyone looks at them. At his very worst though he's not D. Harris who got beat like a rented mule in the plays he was "covering" any slot, let alone the 1 or 2 WRs of Minnesota and New England. And Patrick Robinson.....oh goodnes, certainly a worse 1st rnd pick than any other made in a long time....looooooooong time! |
