When you’re in a zone it’s common to have to choose between two receivers. From what I can tell he had deep third responsibilities. You have ANYBODY who comes deep into your zone. You don’t let anything behind you. You should be able to cover multiple receivers when you’re in a zone. You keep them in front of you and split the difference between them. The most imprortant thing is, if somebody goes deep and you’re in a deep zone that’s where you go. If they catch something short then oh well. You don’t give up the TD. First down or TD. Pick one.

Everybody knew Callaway was the deeper threat on that play. Crawley should've know that.

Situational awareness complete garbage.

If he's choosing between 2 receivers in the zone, you stay behind the deepest threat in that situation & give up the underneath 1st down...live to play another down. You don't fart yourself getting burned 50 in a close game late in the 4th.

Facts. That’s football 101. That concept is drilled into your psyche at a high school level. Just do your job and make the quarterback figure it out.

And then the next series he allows a 17 yard completion and Callaway to get out of bounds as he didn't defend the sideline.

Agreed, his situational awareness is terrible.

I had similar thoughts on Breaux. It wouldn't have hurt to bring him in to training camp and see how he performed against others. At worst, he would have been good depth. Unfortunate for Ken because he played some good ball for us last year on those boundaries.

Oh well, it is what it is.

It doesnt matter who plays CB if the D Line doesnt generate a decent pass rush.

by all means I don't want P.J. to fail but I have a feeling they will switch back to crawley after the 1st half

One thing is for sure, PJ has much better hands than Crawley. Just Crawley is better in run support.

It's amazing how a projected strength is turning into a train wreck at week 3.
