Steveg Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 We saw it when he was too timid to tackle Shonn Greene in the playoffs 2 years ago. Again last night when he didn't fight for the ball. Unfortunately, you can't teach that...His lanky body and long arms will only get him so far..

He did fight for that ball, unfortunately so did Austin, and because Cro caught it underhand, Austin had the opportunity to get joint possession. Cro also made some pretty good open field stops yesterday. He gave up 2 TD's, one was a perfect throw and catch to Dez Bryant, the other was a good play and jump by Cro that probably should have been an INT but was a TD due to joint possession.

ECURB Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Actually you are totally wrong... seriously he did not shy away at all last night... looked tough at times... more than you could expect from a lanky speedster CB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Actually you are totally wrong... seriously he did not shy away at all last night... looked tough at times... more than you could expect from a lanky speedster CB... Let's just be honest. He was basically outmuscled on those two td's. On the first TD he actually had great position but a nice throw by Romo. Second TD the ball was under thrown a bit, he recovered nicely, and then was just outmuscled. I'm fine with Cro as our #2. He's overpaid but he's probably one of the better #2's in the NFL. He's going to make BIG plays this year. Almost had one last night in the end zone that would of tied it if Romo didn't throw a duck. He's not a shut down CB but he's still pretty damn good. Had a tough game last night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Cro normally makes that sort of play, it was a great play by Austin tbf. He drives me ******* crazy at times but he's talented, actually had some nice tackles yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I actually think he's got a lot tougher playing in this D. He's actually quite phsyical at the LOS, where as in SD, he just wanted to turn and run. Its hard being opposite Revis. You're going to get picked on.

Yeah, that's definitely something that has to be considered. Every CB, even the best ones, get beat from time to time. It's impossible not to. However, if you're really good then generally speaking, opposing QBs are going to tend to shy away from you and go after the easier targets, allowing you to get away with occasional blown coverage. When you're lined up across from Revis, he's the guy they're trying to stay away from meaning if you're not playing perfectly, the other team will be coming at you as much as possible. It's not a great job to have, but under the circumstances I think he usually handles it pretty damn well. Far from perfect mind you, but it could be a whole lot worse.
