I tend to agree with this. Sanchez is 23, I mean obvilously he's no kid, but he's still a young guy. He is likely to heal well, and his dedication to the rehab seems to indicate positive things. This and a combination of the advances of knee surgery in 2010, I'm feeling good that this won't be a real issue in the future. I realize Cromartie played like a bitch against us, but part of me thinks he was in the same situation as Braylon, he no longer wanted to play in San Diego anymore. Perhaps it was because he was made to play zone coverage, or maybe it was all the women. Either way, the guy gets his fresh start on another team. I believe Rex will also get this guy to be able to make a tackle when necessary. There's no way Cromartie misses a tackle like the playoff game vs the Jets on our team. Hell, I'm pretty sure Rex will show that play again to the entire team in the film room to light a fire under his ass and get a laugh out of it.
VERY GOOD from top to bottom my main concern going in to this offseason was how do we get better in the 2 min defense great stats opposed to stopping a drive when it counts is an area to measure the best of the best and we were rarely tested in the regular season but exposed severely by the colts the key to beating great Quarterbacking in the NFL or any feild is to keep him out of scoring range especially in the 2min zone. In the AFC Championship game Ithought we could win if we stopped Peyton Manning in the 2min as well suited as Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Bill Belichek and Brett Farve are at managing games and getting realestate for the defense these guys are absolutely hell to deal with in the final 2min of the half and the 4th qtr. A dominate run game can neutralize this by keeping our offense in 3rd and close where personell groupings can cause mismatches leading to big play ability by all our weapons and the chains moving keeping their offense on the sidelines and from doing any heroing ! After the moves made to bolster the secondary I believe we can line up out there with anybody without any worries and these guys play with purpose and like they believe this ball is more mine than yours cause your stupid enough to put it close to where I can get I'll take it to my house. As for the front seven I wouldn't mind seeing Adalius Thomas in camp from a depth standpoint that would be huge but not necessary. With Pouha at the nose Big JENK at RE an Pittoulla at LE thats a pretty imposing run front and with J Taylor at RE Calvin Pace at LE Devito and Pittoulla in the middle along with effective blitz packages should be more than adequate personnel to give us a fighters chance........................This offseason has been splendid indeed !
I think Sanchez needs to make a full recovery to be as effective as he can be because I believe that his mobility is the strength of his game and that if you take this away/limit it you make him far less effective. He doesn't have the physical profile (size, strength, arm strength) to be a pure pocket passer. As for Cromartie, even when he washappy he wasn't a great tackler. Being a physical corner just isn't in his makeup. He plays off and he plays with great athletic ability, he's not a threat to jack up a WR going across the middle and I can't see him forcing many fumbles.
