That’s the best way to describe him. He’s a solid CB2. He isn’t a lockdown corner, but he doesn’t need to be. The most telling stat to me is that he hasn’t given up any TD’s. Holding teams to field goals with our offense is all we need.

Re: Crawley vs Apple 2018 Stats

I still have hope for Crawley. He has shown flashes of brilliance. He has good hands and good ball skills. He has solid top end speed. I think Crawley could be the type of corner that of course will get beat sometimes but actually makes the QB pay if he makes a bad throw. Great trade though. Eli Apple was drafted 10th in the first round and he's 23. It is possible he could totally fix our secondary. He could end up being a stud corner. He'll definetely help. I can't wait to see him in black and gold. He reminds me a little of Mike McKenzie. In truth Apple has pro bowl potential.

Ken has been beaten like a Pearl snare drum on those boundaries ... all season.

Once Apple gets acclimated to the "system", I expect to see more of PJ man the slot (he's been decent there) unless PRob miraculously returns this season or playoff time. IMO Ken doesn't have the the hips for slot & tracking the ball has been a low point for him.

Rez could probably provide more input at this position but I would expect Ken's snap count to be reduced.

Agree with your point other than the highlighted bit, Crawley's hands make Roman harper look like Ed Reed. He dropped sooo many interceptions last year.

Hmmmm. I don't recall that. I'm not saying you are wrong. He definetely tries to track deep balls when QBs throw his way on fade routes and he is pretty good at it.
I agree with the point that he doesn't have the quick hips to be elite. Maybe Eli Apple will be a stud and we'll never see Crawley again. But whenever he's on the field they gonna test him. So we'll find out one way or another. He reminds me a little of Dave Waymer. Average athleticism with good hands.
