JetNation Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Antonio Cromartie talked about the New York Jets defense this week. Bart Scott is out and a slimmed down David Harris is back. It was widely discussed that the Jets needed more speed on defense. Cromartie was asked if there is more speed this year It’s very noticeable. For one, you have guys running to the ball, soaring to the ball and that’s all that we’re trying to do. When you’re keeping things simple and making sure guys can go out there and play full speed, it makes things a lot easier for guys (to) go out there and go play full speed. Cromartie also gave his thoughts on some of the new players in the Jets secondary. Dee Milliner… He’s been very impressive. Our whole thing is to make sure that he’s running the defense. We know what he can do on the field. We just want to make sure that when he goes on the field, he doesn’t have to think about anything, he just can go out there and play football. Dawan Landry… Definitely, Dawan is doing a heck of a job for us. This is his sixth year in this defense, coming into this defense, so he’s only been two years removed from it. He knows the defense as a whole, he knows everything, (and) he knows all the answers, all of it. When you have a field general that knows the ins and outs, it makes things a little easier for the defensive backs and also for the linebackers. What about the possibility of the pass rush helping the secondary? I’m definitely looking for that, but I think the guys that we have and what we’re trying to do, it’s going to turn out to be great for us. We added a guy in (Antwan) Barnes, and having a guy that can get off the edge as fast as he (is) and young guys coming on, like Ricky Sapp and those guys. Like I said, you have two interior guys with Mo (Muhammad Wilkerson) and Quinton Coples and we’re going to get to the ball. We’re going to get to the quarterback, force some errand throws and we just have to make sure as a defense and on the backend, we have to make sure that we capitalize on those mistakes.

JayKwaz Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Cro is quickly becoming one of my favorite Jets, I hope he stays for a few years. He is growing into a nice leader. Maybe it is time for Rex to add "C" back to the jerseys. Cro - Mangold - Harris captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Antonio Cromartie's progression as a Jet has proven 2 things: 1) Rex doesn't ONLY know about D-Line 2) Rex is a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyGreenGiant Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Antonio Cromartie's progression as a Jet has proven 2 things: 1) Rex doesn't ONLY know about D-Line 2) Rex is a god. There's no doubt that Rex is capable of coaching up the d-line and secondary as good as any coach in the league, me thinks that Milliner and Richardson are next in the production line.

#27TheDominator Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Cringeworthy. Sad thing is that people will be sure that is Cromartie's mistake instead of the guy transcribing. The world will never know the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I love Cromartie and he's been one of my favorite players since his first season here. I am scared to buy his jersey because I feel our management will dump him, because they don't seem to care about leadership most of the time.

They have money and if he plays like he did last year, no way can they not work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
