Duke replaced by Crawford on first team

[Problem2]

Golden you magnificent *******

"Duke Johnson in white jersey, what does that mean? "don't fumble the ball inside the red zone,'' says .@GoldenAl."

I expect an angry Duke

 

[hurricane]

Good I always thought duke was over rated

 

[darkhippo7]

about time

 

[Scoot Scoot]

Love the move.

Good I always thought duke was over rated

But you can **** ****.

Crawford in the Heisman conversation now?

 

[#26-MEAST]

And IMO that's the way it should be. We can't have boneheaded plays on the goalline.

 

[JHallCanes]

Crawford looks pretty good out there, runs with aggression and purpose. I love Clements, but he just doesn't have that pop that Crawford has. Clements has been the benefactor of some great blocking on his good runs this year IMO, where Crawford seems to be making something out of nothing sometimes. Good to see.

 

[bbcane]

I just like duke off the bench defens a little tired, then boom

 

[zone3cane]

I see this thread is going to turn into an "I never really liked Duke Johnson anyway" thread smh wow.


first Stephen, now Duke.... smh D. Perryman is next.

I agree. I think it's another example of a kid earning Golden's trust and being rewarded for it. Crawford has earned his share.

 

[Bird4um]

Don't think serious

Love the message it sends to the rest of the team and Duke. Protect the ball or someone else will.


PS. Duke will still get most of the carries when the games matter.

 

[rccollins]

if d crawford really does start over duke this week- that will make it 3 weeks in a row...(but the other two times were for different reasons)

 

[OBLIVION]

****'ll buff out

 

[zone3cane]

He's just pushing Duke Johnson and rewarding Dallas Crawford.... it works both ways.

Duke Johnson is the most explosive offensive weapon on our team but he needs to take a page from Dallas Crawford and learn when to run hard/physical, and when to use ur main talent, which is being elusive, breaking ankles, making ppl miss.

The first fumble by Duke was dumb, but at the same time it was just a mistake made trying to get an extra yard. It happens. The 2nd one was just not having your head in the action IMO. Long term it's basically a meaningless decision, but I agree with you, short term it's a message.

 

[WhatTheHell]

Nobody is safe. There are no favorites. And there is no sense of entitlement.

How often you play is directly related to your performance - I love it.

Coffee is for ******* closers, Duke. Grab a green tea and get your **** together.

very true..............love the message though. I was saying the same thing after he fumbled last Saturday.

 

[Cribby]

Duke has 3 fumbles in 4 games, that's unacceptable. I don't care who you are. Al is just holding everyone accountable, that includes your stars.

 

[DHucks]

Love the move. Gives Duke a slight rest, and sends a message to the squad.

Duke will be alright.
