Yeah, I'm with Major on Hardee; he seemed to regress even this past PreSeason; and that's too bad because he had prototype size and really jumped out athletically in coverage...

He's another guy like Dan Arnold who's learning an entirely new position at the NFL level no less - so he's got my respect and patience...

But this past PreSeason, he just seemed like he lost some of the discipline in his game that he'd showed previously...

Imagine being Crawley - to go from being one of the boys to the bottom wrung of the ladder; and then there's that whole covert, kept from main stream reporting, weird cryptic social media garbage, he's likely done...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Eli Apple

In Crawley's first year they didn't call a bunch of questionable pass interference calls. They did in year two.

Crawley is a penalty magnet and he was drawing them in 2017 too.

He had a major PI call in the playoffs vs Minnesota that set them up at first and goal.

That's always been his trademark; give up blatant pass interference penalties.

It's the refs I tell you. They've got it in for Crawley.

Re: Eli Apple

We almost made it to the superbowl with Crawley. I am at lets put him out there to see if he learned anything from the bench. precautionary measures should be made by playing a safety over the top. Justin Hardee should also be looked at taking a few snaps at the position, also

If you're referring to 2017, no one has any idea how that game vs Philly would've turned out in the NFCCG. We probably get smoked.

The 2017 offense was not well-equipped to get into shoot out games, and Philly that year was stacked on offense. There was a reason why we moved to a run-heavy offense that year and didn't air it out so much. It would've probably been a back and forth score fest with us trying to dig ourselves out of a hole early.

Crawley is a penalty magnet and I don't want him starting. The fans will just blame it on the refs like always, but the PI and personal fouls he draws are blatant.

Apple will be back soon, if not right away. Relax.

referring to that crappy Minneapolis miracle when Williams knocked Crawley out the play. I know it was the game before the NFC championship but that was our year. Crawley at the time was receiving positive reviews from pfi and analysts. I believe he was ranked in top 10's
