mark6sanchez Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 AC can be another Ed Reed, ther skills are similar...both ball hawks, Reed is a better hitter, AC can work on that. Rex and Mr T then could find an OLB that can rush the passer... a serviceable replacement at CB opp Revis might be already on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 You know he can't tackle right? LOL Could you imagine him playing run support or attempting an open field tackle? Cro as safety would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Terrible idea. As previously stated, he can't tackle. Worse than that, he WON'T try to tackle. He absolutely refuses to perform any role in run support even as a CB. Furthermore, he often looks lost in a zone. The Jets got Cromartie because the Chargers didn't like how he performed in zone coverage. The Jets didn't care because they don't play as much zone. Even when he is playing man he seems like he gets lost when he lays off too far. Can you imagine him trying to lay back at safety? I'd bet he'd be a horror trying to find guys coming out of the backfield. Sure he could cover TEs man, but he does that now. Joe McKnight at CB FTW!

visajets Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Cro and Revis worked fine at CBs. I would resign Cro and concentrate on a pass rusher and a big hitting safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Given the FA's they have to re-sign, I'm not even convinced the Jets are better-off re-signing Cromartie to a giant contract even to play corner. But signing him to an enormous contract only to change positions...one to which he is horribly-suited in the first place anyway? lol With the contract Cromartie's going to get, moving him from corner would make him the NFL's highest-paid safety. By a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Let Cromartie walk take the 10 million he is going to get, scrape up an extra 2-4 million and sign both BE and Holmes, let Wilson do what he was drafted to do play as a starting CB in this league, I think with him moving back outside, and actually having a whole training camp learning from Revis he will be more than just fine.

Jets Voice of Reason Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Even beyond the fact that Cro doesn't like contact and has problems in zone coverage, it's not good practice to convert good man cover corners just because you are deficient at safety.

Larz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 he should become a mercenary and just sign weekly contracts with whoever is going against randy moss that week because that is about what he does best, run in a straight line and then jump, just like randy after that, all he can do is chase and grab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ironically, him and Revis were the only ones that tried to tackle anybody in the first half a week ago. Revis actually made a few tackles. Cromartie managed to make people fall down out of fear of his tackling abilities. I remember this because I was laughing. Mendenhall I think had a clear path to the endzone on one play, then sees Cromartie and somehow actually gets frightened and falls down. Cro looks around like he's as surprised as I am.

Thats the play the announcers even made a note of how bad a decision it was by Mendenhall. Simms basically said all he had to do was lower his head and Cro would either get run over or just move out of the way and let him score. Instead he faked himself out, fell down, and Cro gets the hand tackle. Cromartie as a safety would be amusing. At least once a week he would get run over. At least once a week he would sidestep a runner to avoid contact. At least once a week he would forget to pick someone up coming down the field. But he would also probably have 10 picks on the year.

kelticwizard Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The guy is perhaps the fifth best pure cover corner in the league. He was obtained to go man-to-man with the opponent's No.2 receiver while Revis covered the opponents' best receiver, freeing up other defensive players to rush the passer, etc. Cromartie might have gotten beat a few times, but overall the plan worked well. Putting aside Cromartie's tackling deficincies, where are you going to find a corner capable of doing the job Cromartie did in man-to-man coverage? Overall, he did very well there.

docdhc Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Actually Revis would be the one to move to safety. He hits like a linebacker, and QB's couldn't take him out of the game by simply not throwing to his receiver. Ronnie Lott started out as a cover corner and became a HOF safety just like I think Revis could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 the more i look at the Jets offseason, the less I think Cro is a Jets player in 2011. the only thing really keeping him here is the 2nd round pick they used on him, that's a high cost for Tanny to just give up on. But they are in pretty dire straights financially if a cap comes back and it's gonna be brutal to try to sign 3 out of the "big 4" - they might only keep 2.

One of the things paying all that money to Revis is supposed to buy is the lack of a need to grossly overpay for Antonio Cromartie types, probably to the tune of $8-10M per (and who knows; maybe more depending on how a new CBA unfolds). A team with Revis supposedly locked up long-term doesn't pay that for Cromartie to be its #2. A team with nothing at corner pays that for Cromartie to be its #1.

The defense was better with Lito Sheppard as its number two. Pass rush can make a lot of corners look adequate. I'd rather them throw long term money at Edwards or Harris.

Harris is great but extremely one dimensional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
