Cromartie confident he can cover AJ

[dtran04]

AJ dropped two HUGE plays in the Denver game, hence him being upset. He dropped one in the endzone and the other long one where the ball hit his facemask.

LOL, one slipup by a Cro or a Safety and it'll be Andre slappin 6. Its not like he,s doing it himself, lets see what happens when OD and Foster start rippin it up and and Andre gets lost in the back end.

And the two times he did we got a TD and almost another if not for some fluke ninja kick by Champ. Part of it is the playcalling because Andre only has ONE red-zone target so far and the other part is Schaub's unwillingness to look Andre's way. And what happens when he targets Andre in the passing game? Our offense is 5x better. The first offensive drive against Tennessee when we targeted Andre looked absolutely FLAWLESS. Andre NEEDS to be implemented into the offense way more. 25 targets in 4 games is inexcusable. A top 3 receiver not leading his team in targets? When does that EVER happen?

They're rotating out Andre more than ever early on in the season i've noticed. I think we'll see him a lot more in the coming weeks with two big primetime games followed by the Ravens. Just trying to keep him fresh for those games I think.

Cromartie is confident he can father six children by monday...

I also read a comment about a conversation him and Schaub had on the sideline during the Broncos game where he said he'd been playing crap all game, but Schaub said something to the effect of the ball was coming his way and he made that catch for the first down on the next drive.

AJ is our best receiver out there even if he isn't feeling at his best, but we need to hope he can get back to feeling 100% over these next few games because we're going to need him there with some tough games coming up.

In that game, AJ dropped a pass that hit him right in the hands that would have probably been a TD. He also wasn't able to coral the pass in the end zone on the play where Schaub got hit by Mays. In fairness, that was very well covered, and AJ shouldn't blame himself for that play. My though is he was upset with himself on those two plays.

Exactly... Didn't see the second page to this thread before writing the previous post.

This is my thought process. We need him in on the field more in January, not nearly as much in September with the weak schedule we faced barring the Denver game.

Really looking forward to this. It's on live on BBC TV at 1:30am.. This game will get tons of exposure to UK folk as everyone has access to this game as it's not on Sky but regular tv (altho I subscribe to NFL gamepass so get to see all the games)

AJ and co are 'bout to lay the smackdown on some Jets!

[TexCanada]

The thing is, we have such a well rounded offense that we can just pick on other teams weaknesses. If he covers AJ then we won't force it, we will just use one of our other weapons that they are unable to cover.

[LondonTex]

If Crom plays anything like he did against the steelers then the jets are in trouble .... He got picked on in that game and then made such a weak play attempt against Mike Wallace which ended in a steelers TD and turned the flow of the game on its head! He sucked big time... Not to mention they're missing revis and Holmes .. They do have the ever so potent Shonne green tho

Great snippets. Cromartie has always run away from contact. Though he does like to point his team mates to the spot where THEY should make contact. AJ needs to give him one good smack on the way past him in order to remind him how much he really does hate contact.

[Big Lou]

I just hope Cromartie doesn't end up impregnating AJ. We had a LB that was pregnant once and it didn't go well for us......

Cromartie cant even cover up his junk let alone Andre, this fool is stupid

I'm good with that.

I'm not. Half of the catches and nearly half the yds came in the opener.

"i dont think he's that great, i shut andre johnson down ... except for those two 80 yard touchdowns"

[rush2112mn]

I know Andre wanted to go up against Revis oh well. I think the Jets may use Cromartie with help..on Andre....I still think Andre is going to have a big game myself. National TV....He is going to be ready....

Antonio Cromartie cant name all of his kid's names, much less hang with Dre.

[TheMatrix31]

He should worry about covering his dick.
