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....

Physical gifts can only cover up only so much The huge thing is simple God given traits: Reaction, Instincts and FIQ Now when they figure out how to measure those, it is a crap shoot. |
