Cromartie is 3 years younger than Sheppard..hell, he is only a year older than Revis..there is a much better chance he will return to form in a blitzing attack..shouldn't even be a point of discussion or comparison.
I guess I just get tired of hearing about fresh new starts. Until it shows up on the field, I don't care. We'll see. I'm hopeful. Seems like the guy has the ability, just a matter of getting it out of him. Maybe being on the number 2 receiver will increase those INT #'s more. Maybe Rex should promise him an extremely fertile whore for every interception he gets. On a positive note, he'll have to play well to financially support all 800 of his kids with the pending paternity suits, so there's one motivating factor.
of course he is eager for a fresh start.he doesnt have any kids in the northeast and he is excited about tapping some sweet puntang in the tri state area
I just noticed all of the bible quotes on his Twitter. My guess is he decided to run head-long into some of the more conservative Christian values once he saw the child support bills coming in.:rofl: His age definitely makes him a better candidate than Sheppard but considering all of the people that we have to resign, I think we're just rent him for a second rounder. If he winds up making the Pro Bowl and there is no lockout in 2011, I wouldn't be surprised to see a tag-and-trade situation develop. We still need another CB so picking up someone in the draft is a possibility. Realistically, I'm just hoping for one good season from him. Enough to help keep Manning in check should we see him in the playoffs.
I don't pay much attention to Pro Bowls because the voting is too messed up. I do pay attention to All-Pro honors, though. Some of the great cornerback tandems- Hanford Dixon and Frank Minnifield, Cleveland Both were selected 1st team All-Pro in 1987 by the PFWA, Sporting News, and Pro Football Weekly. Dixon was selected to the Associated Press 1st team and Minnifield the 2nd team. 1986 and 1988 were the two other years when both received some sort of All-Pro recognition. Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes, L.A. Raiders Eric Wright and Ronnie Lott, SF Lemar Parrish and Ken Riley, Cincinnati Those four pairs all saw All-Pro honors in the same season. There are some others, too- Dick LeBeau and Lem Barney with Detroit, Pat Thomas and Rod Perry with L.A., and Mark Collins and Dale Carter with Kansas City. If you want to go back to the pre-Super Bowl days, you will find several more excellent tandems.
I went to FSU when Cromartie was here, and let me just say that I am pumped to see him in Green and White. He was really solid when he was at FSU, and I definitely expect nothing but the same.
Cromartie never looked like he belonged in San Diego, aside from the fact that the entire team is a bunch of pre-Madonnas. I honestly think that playing on a defense considered best in the league will give him the motivation he needs to be an animal. Plus with Rexy coaching him...:up:
