Ken Crawley brought in for a visit (1 Viewer)

We’ve already reached our quota of DPI’s in this secondary, no thanks.

But we have one of the BEST secondary’s in the NFL! That is what most have been professing. What is wrong now, that the Saints need to bring in scrubs...?

Might as well just call it a year if we're signing Crawley.

Crawley was brought in as an UDFA in May 2016. Browner had already come and gone by then, being released on March 10th, 2016. They never crossed paths here.

If they had literally crossed paths, my guess is that Browner would have held first.

So you’re saying they threw at him probably almost double they did those other guys, got it.

Lol what? Why don't you want to give Crawley credit for having a good season? I didn't just make it up. Other people saw it and he graded out as a good Corner. He seemed like an ascending talent. Maybe he seemed much better than he actually was because we were used to seeing Corey White and Brandon Browner out there attempting to play Corner in the years before Crawley showed up.

Look I'm not saying we should bring him now. And obviously things went horribly wrong after he showed promise in his first two seasons.

Crawley brought in to give Brees and the WRs more confidence with all the completions in practice against him.

Or to teach DBs to hold better, although they are pretty special at it now.

Is Fred Thomas not available?

Really! well I still don't remember Crawley being beaten badly. i never thought speed was an issue . he was always there but let the ball hit him in the back more than anything

Basically saying how Apple didn't do much better and yet we still won 13 games with a defense that carried the team. Maybe he wasn't a serious problem for us.

What next? A Spagnuolo interview? We getting the world's worst band back together?

I think it was 2016, but I remember there were two young corners on the team. Crawley was one, but there was another...anyone remember the name?

De'Vante Harris?

HMMMM Not How I remember Ken Crawley. I remember a fast stick to em quick closing guy whos biggest problem was getting his head around...That is until Brandon Browner showed up and poisoned the entire backfield with his Seattle Hold-em style of coverage.. That and his loss of confidence is why he was let go.

I know that's not how most people remember his time here, which is why I did the research to make the thread - again not sure if I followed through with making the post, but I did rewatch the games in order to point our how often he was whooped and how often QBs missed their targets when he was beaten. I'm not gonna get into it again but theres a reason he was out of here so fast after that 1 year when many were claiming he'd be starting at CB for the next 5 years

but wasn't there some praise for Crowley in the media and the league. I remember Dion sanders making a fuss over this guy. wasn't it Crowley who made that guy we had from new orleans less of a prioity to resign. My memory cant be that bad. Is it? Keenan Lewis was his name.....Ok my bad I think it was keenan who Dione was praising...
