JOJOTOWNSELL Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I was at the game sunday and had pretty decent lowers....had a good view of jets sideline Cro was lining up to return the punt and had #7 (O'connell??) on the sidelines jumping up and down like a maniac telling him to move back.......waving his hands all animated,.......Cro moves back 5 yards and #7 keeps waving him back more......Cro goes back another 5 yards........#7 is now in full on bezerker mode, like he is trying to flag down a plane from a deserted island.......Cro goes back another 5 yards.......... What happens?? The punter kicks it to where Cro had originally lines up (15 yards ahead) and he has to run up and try to make an extremely difficult play....obviously he doesn't Moral of the Story??

SMC Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It wasn't an extremely difficult play. It was an extremely idiotic play. Cro had already called a fair catch. There was no need to run up to it and try to catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you seriously make an excuse for a guy dropping a ball that hit him in the Chest other than the fact he probably should not have been out there in the first place.

Stonehands Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Funny, when I was watching from my livingroom I saw the ball go right thru Cro's hands and hit the turf. Glad to find out I was mistaken and he was not to blame for the error. We need to stop treating punt returns like a 10 year old's little league team...everyone doesn't need to get a chance. Stick with Kerley and if he is injured, go with Leonard. Stop bringing in Cro and McKnight and whoever else to screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Cro was out there was because Kerley was Hurt Leonhard was winded and Rex forgot his brain up his a$$. Why do I say rex and not Westhoff because on the sidelines after the fumble rex pointed at someone and said "its on me" and pointed to his chest.

T0mShane Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Funny story, figured I'd tell it here... So I'm playing hoops tonight. A couple of new guys show up to the court. 1 looks like a typical ginny from Brooklyn. He was. But I learned this because we were on the same team one game when he's at the top of the key and picks up his dribble. I'm trying to shake this guy who's guarding me who is 6'6 so he's got the reach and he's face guarding me. So me and the ginny make eye contact, I look one way he looks the same, but the guy was reading my eyes and cut it off, so I juked back thought he'd see that. Ginny throws right, I go left, ball goes out of bounds. He says sorry, I say no worries, I ran an in, you threw and out. He goes, "yeah, just like Sanchez". Started dying laughing. Told him I was a Jets fan. Pretty fun situation honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm going out on a limb to say westhoff tells o'connell where to send cro, so if you want to pass the buck, pass it to westy parcells used to coach punt returners. rule #1 is always sprint to the spot so you can set your feet, never "float" over or "drift" over and catch it on the move he broke rule #1, and dropped the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And I appreciate this thread. Never mind the fact that the ball hit Cro in the bread basket, never mind that you dont actually have to field a punt...it was all the back up QB's fault. What you didnt know, it was also his fault that Cro gave up a TD to Brad Smith on the ensuing play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 The reason Cro was out there was because Kerley was Hurt Leonhard was winded and Rex forgot his brain up his a$$. Why do I say rex and not Westhoff because on the sidelines after the fumble rex pointed at someone and said "its on me" and pointed to his chest. I don't think that Leonhard was winded. I think he had the wind knocked out of him. The play before the punt was a short pass and IIRC Leonhard went down low blasted Nelson's legs. He was slow to get up and that's probably why they went to Cromartie. I was complaining about it at the game because IMO Cromartie is the guy you use when you are losing, not when you are holding a slim lead. The other obvious choice would be McKnight, but he may have been the #1 RB at the time because Greene has been hurt and McKnight had replaced him the previous series and stayed out for the next one. Greene may not have been ready to go or at least far from full strength., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knix Tix Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 But guys, there was a time when Cro was actually making plays for us on returns. Remember when he was pulling on the coaches shirt tails to get out there? Looks like he doesn't want to do it anymore. That was bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
