Crawley vs Apple 2018 Stats

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Interesting to see the side by side analytical comparisons. On paper we upgraded our #2 CB. I can't say I'm excited. Can't say I'm disappointed. But something had to be done and Apple definitely qualifies. As. Something... https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/ken-crawley/ https://www.playerprofiler.com/nfl/eli-apple/...

It's what Payton does. Always tinkering around for small gains. Wins are mostly not convincing so I applaud it. Hope we pick up some more along the way.

Hope he works out well for us. And for himself. A new place, a new team, a new attitude

Re: Crawley vs Apple 2018 Stats

Worst case I think we at least now have a good platoon at the CB2 spot. We might still want to play Crawley in certain situations because Crawley might be more physical and tackle better. And actually I think Crawley plays really hard, I don't discredit him because I see him giving good effort but he just doesn't have the natural coverage athleticism Lattimore and other high-end NFL corners have.

Re: Crawley vs Apple 2018 Stats

Going deeper down the stats rabbit hole comparing #Saints corners Eli Apple & Ken Crawley

In 2017, Crawley drew 14 total penalties. 2 were declined, and 3 offset. (so only shows 9 accepted)

Apple in 3 years (2016-2018/30 games) has 14 accepted penalties and 1 declined

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.
