Default Any thoughts on Crable?

I gotta admit, I as many of you were disappointed with his presence on the PUP.

Truth be told...I was excited about him because he was getting lots of accolades on the board...but where those accolades came from...I still don't know....What were folks seeing from him in camp last year?

That being said....When healthy I thought at the very least we'd get an above average pass rusher and with cautious optimism...the second coming of Willie McGinest.

So what do folks think the future holds for this guy? Have few moves from the pass rush side been made because of his potential....or are we counting
on getting Burgess...?

Sorry as I cannot for the life of me see TBC or Woods being the answer.....

for now they look like the answer and to be honest I am not so sure why people are so down on this duo. They compliment eachother well and each have proved themseleves to BB to be worthy of the roster and regular playing time. Has Crable? yet people are higher on him than these two so I ask why just because he was a 3rd rounder?

Sure neither Tully or Woods are likely making pro bowls but they are pretty good players who should now the system inside and out.

One of them is the answer...if the question is who will play outside linebacker.

At least for now.

I guess in my mind it's all about known quantities versus an unknown quantity.

IMO TBC is a 2nd stringer and Woods is a 3rd stringer based upon what I've seen of them. I agree...they are nice complimentary players. But based upon the fact that we've had a sub-par pass rush....no they are not the answer.

BB brought TBC back because he was a body that knew the system. He brought some measure of competition to an already weak group of OLB's. In my mind....here's the deal.

a) They know Crable is the guy...and he either had a minor set-back or they want him to continue his leg strengthening.

b) They are maneuvering to get Burgess or some other late camp cut.

c) Peppers is still...somehow" on the radar screen

d) What you see is what you get and they hope the new secondary will help the pass rush.

I hate the D option!

Unless Woods sucks that bad, the competition is over at OLB. In fact, Crable had all offseason to get his s*** straight, yet finds himself on the PUP to start training camp. This is extremely disappointing.

The guy didn't seem to have injury issues in college...and he has apparantly done some hard work over the off-season since folks say his legs have gotten bigger/stronger...I can't be too angry at the dude unless i know he ain't working...period.

BB had made some off comment about people needing to work to get on the field...are we 100% sure it was about Crable?

I really want to see Crable out there practicing and showing what he's got. Either he's a player that can contribute or he isn't. End of story.

How dare he get injured. Linebackers should know we expect our corps to be completely injury free. They should know the plan and stick with it.

If they want to get injured, play a position where we have backups.

Yeah, doesn't he know that even though he has never played a down in the NFL there are posters on Patsfans.com that are relying on him?
