I'm starting to think Adebo will be given the chance to start at CB.

We really need Ken Crawley to play like he did for us when he started his first year. He was actually pretty decent for us until he lost his confidence somewhere. Maybe our new DB coach can help him re-gain it. I think he would be the best option out of all the guys we've got if he can return to form.

Crawley never actually played well, though. Idk why this narrative bugs me so much, but I just can’t help it every time we rely on him and these comments arise. I have no idea where to find the tape from that season, but it’s out there for anyone willing to look for it. That tape will show exactly what I’ve been saying for years. I remember catching flack for it when expressing it during his “good” year.

He got extremely lucky that one year. That’s it. He also was always very handsy and drew plenty of flags, and then everyone was surprised when he “fell off” the following year. I had never seen QBs miss their targets so often when targeting Crawley that season. They weren’t missing by a lot, a yard or two here or there, but they were missing. It wasn’t Crawley shutting anyone down, unfortunately.

I hope just as much as anyone else that he has a repeat of that “good” season, and that pushes our D over the top this year, but there’s a reason why he’s bounced around and hasn’t stuck with anyone. He just isn’t good. I pray that he will be a serviceable CB2, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
