Cromartie needs to play more aggressively.

    This is absolutely correct. When the corners lost inside position, Freeman got completions. Grants a few were pick plays, but it's gotta be better going forward. The coaching staff will have this fixed.

    Rex loves to mix it up to keep the offense off balance......he never runs the exact same coverage over and over and over again.

    Seems like he EITHER had Cro m2m on Jackson or he double teamed Jackson with a different DB and a Safety. Neither was 100% effective.

    My biggest concern is Milliner NOT turning his head around. Maybe he's spending too much time under Kyle's wing?

    I couldn't understand giving up the inside for slants and other passes that were less difficult on Freeman. He didn't show once that he was able to really stretch the field on a deep ball and it seemed like Cromartie and Milliner were playing against that most of the time. Jackson is a good receiver for sure, but the coverage was suspect.

    I know Cro isn't Revis but we always had Revis on the opponents top guy, at least for the majority of the game. Cro is our version of revis and expected to match up w/ top guys, I get mixing thigs up but Jackson killed us all day. He would have gotten yds and catches w/ Cro on him but not like he did. That kept TB in the game.
