Thought he did a great job last week on Camponelo. It was a good adjustment to put him on him. If I'm not mistaken that P.I. he was called for was a bit of a phantom call. He'll have his hands full this week again, I think he'll do well in this match.

number 3 smoked us the whole game....but Crawford did his job.

two weeks now we have faced great Wrs...next week we face 3 at one time..should be fun
 
While he converted a lot of 3rd downs, he had 10 catches for 88 yards. It's not like the guy went Ebron on us.

He was targeted over 20 times as well. If you throw to someone that many times they better catch at least 10 of them. Not making excuses because our DB's didn't do the greatest job of covering him.
 
He came in averaging 8 catches for 111 yards. Kid is legit. I was not upset with our defense against him.

People were killing Crawford earlier this year and I couldn't figure out why. He's young and wildly inexperienced at the position. He's the type of kid who's going to be a ******* beast when he is a senior.

Our DBs weren't asked to cover him much early on. Cornelius and other LBs had responsibilities on him and got toasted (as they should).
Poor scheme imo.

They go 5 wide and we have 2 CBs on the field and 3 LBs? I've never seen that.

Big fan of Crawford, if we could ever get Bush healthy, the defensive backfield would be pretty **** stout

One thing that annoyed me is how he slid around the field like a quarterback! Even my wife was like, "what a *****, he doesn't want to get hit"
 
In order to not give up 1,000 yards to FSU we need a nickel defense on the field the majority of the time.

The dude is really small, and relies on his insane quickness to make plays. Sure, he might be able to get an additional yard against a linebacker who outweighs him by 60lbs, but at the cost of potentially negating any further catches as he would be struggling with a thigh/groin/knee problem.

Smart player, IMO. Now if he is a TE, that's a different matter.

You have to know your value to your team and play smart.

They had 5 wide but most of the time it was only 3 WR. They were splitting out their fullback and tail back. We had our defensive package in to matchup with the personnel they had on the field. Their plays were set to run the FB/HB deep to take the CB/S out and left their WRs short and in space with our LBs in our zone coverage.
