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.

Re: Crawley vs Apple 2018 Stats
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.

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
