That's funny. Davis and Smith were 2 of the worst corners in the league last season. Cromartie has only been in the league for 3 seasons. Cromartie has had a dominant season in this league and an above average season in a defense that didn't use him correctly. The other season he played with a broken hip - pretty tough task for a cornerback. Davis and Smith have done nothing in this league close to what Cromartie has, even last year. Revis will be on him all game both games unless he's injured.
I think the GM's would take Cro over those guys who put up a 25+? pass def stat wise. One of those guys looks like he will be real good, but dunno bout the other. Revis will prob be on Marshall like glue, but I think Rex will be switching Revis, and Cro on the #1 WR's all year to cause even more chaos. I cant see Marshall having an absolute field day on Cro, but being able to put up alright numbers. Remember Cro is going to be a different player in this scheme.
Cromartie has been in the league 4 years. I personally, without being at all a homer, would take either of our 2 cornerbacks over Cromartie, and considering how much respect the young duo is getting I have a feeling i'm not alone on that. I might take an unproven Kyle Wilson over Sean Smith, who I feel is a bit slow to be a corner, but not Cromartie, especially considering how hastily the Chargers got rid of him.
You are obviously a complete homer if you would take 2 of the worst CB's in the league last season over a guy who outperformed them by a lot and has had a dominant season in the league to go with it. The Chargers got rid of him because he's a liability in the run game and lacks effort at times. When you play a zone scheme you need corners that are better tacklers. So go ahead and take two of the worst corners in the league over one who was above average last season. Doesn't sound homeristic at all.
Chargers got rid of him, because he became an issue around the Locker-room, and was suspect to half ass plays. Oh yeah they changed defensive schemes, and Cro wasnt taking part in it. Cromartie made it known. I think Cromartie will be a different player next year. Also he wont be frustrated in this defense like he was in SD.
Man i have missed out on all the fun the past few days!! I am not suggesting Hartline / Bess / Camarillo are better than Edwards / Cotchery / whoever, I'm just pointing out that they aren't as "bad" as proclaimed. Like I said, our wr group last year looked bad because we had now true number 1 guy, no alpha-dog, in a stable full of pretty solid #2 guys. We got our big gun now so the production that our no-name guys put up (which was fairly close to your more established names) should only improve, just as your guys should too. The games between these two teams next year will be fascinating to watch from a strategic perspective.
Hartline/Bess/Camarillo don't even have to be better than Edwards/Cotchery/Smith/Clowney. They gotta be able to beat coverages from Cromartie/Wilson/Lowery which I don't think they will be able too. They'll make plays here and there but no game changers. But we could speculate all day, we'll see when the games are played.
I agree. The games are going to be slugfests as they usually are. That's where the running game for both teams will be such a key aspect of the game. Each team is wanting to force the other young quarterback to have to make plays and look for mistakes. Both teams added some prolific offensive weapons to their offense. Should be interesting to watch
Look girl, we all saw what happened to all the "elite WRs" against Revis last year. The passing completion percentage in NFL is around 55%. So if a toss up cuts that completion percentage to half, then I'd agree with you. He's more than welcome to get his 3 catches for 30 yards and a big ZERO for TD. Jets don't have to avoid a BM/DRC match up. All they have to do is put Revis on Marshall and then call the plays based on 10-on-10. Don't get too excited.
Look for Clowney to toast your secondary all day long. We gonna burn the shit out of you. We rule! You suck! bla bla bla....That's what a typical Dolphin fan would say if Clowney was a Dolphin. Bess and Camarillo have done nothing to be so relevant in the NFL. Without checking the stats, Im sure Cotchery had a better season than Bess and Cam combined.
rofl. When I read the first sentence of your post I thought you were serious about the Clown.(Hope it does happen though)
bla bla I'm not a homeristic Dolphin fan. I'm not shy about giving your team props. I maintain that you guys will probably win 11 or 12 games if Sanchez shows improvement and are the favorites to win the division for a good reason. and just so you know: Bess had 76 catches for 768 yards Camarillo had 50 catches for 552 yards Cotchery had 57 catches for 821 yards
Cotchery caught 3 TD's to their combined 2, and averaged 14 yards per catch to their 10 and 11. Not a huge difference. Obviously we were very run heavy last year, even when were behind. We will definitely air out it more this year and Cotchery stats will see a nice bump, especially with the opposition keying on Edwards and Holmes.
i was just responding to 'Jets n Boys' we were run heavy last year too, but henne put up 300 yard games and was trusted to handle more pressure, which led to some wins and some losses. Sanchez never was trusted to do so because if his decision-making, plus he never had to because he had a big bad defense to hide behind. That's not his fault, but just saying
