I listen to almost every BB press conference and have done pretty much since he became the head coach here.

In all those years I don't think I ever heard BB use the word awesome to describe one of his players.

I've been impressed with him this preseason and I do believe that his presence has been great for Gronk and for Aaron Hernandez. BB is just full of praise for the guy and it wasn't just in the latest press conference, he has been singing his praises pretty regularly but the use of that word awesome just really struck me. It seems he is a leader, intelligent and had a fantastic work ethic.

He's been a great pick up for us so far. I agree, I've not heard BB sing someone's praises with the word "awesome" either. Great addition in the blocking and passing game. If we can get some veterans of his calibre on the defensive side of the ball we'd be set.

Probably just talking him up...Would not be surprised to see him get the axe. I remember BB singing Marcus Pollard's praises in the 08 preseason.

I was kind of curious about how they used him last night. They went to him a few times that first drive: First pass he seemed to dig his rudder in and slow down before missing a pass in the middle; seemed to hear footsteps. Then I think he caught a pass and I could have sworn it was Antwoine Smith running (good). Then a miscommunication with Brady on a route.

I figured it all meant one of three things, in order of likelihood:
* Just wanting to get him some reps/action
* He's on the bubble and this was a sort of test
* Hernandez might miss some time so there was urgency to get Alge some action

I kind of like having the guy, all in all.

This is one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on this board.

Alge Crumpler makes this team in his sleep. 0 chance of being cut.

Aside from lining up consistently with the starting offense, looking like an all-world blocker, showing he still has great hands and earning incredible plaudits for his off-field contributions, Crumpler has shown me NUTHIN!

I'd say Crumpler's pretty safe.

Not as dumb as the one you just made. Theres no doubt Crumpler has been on the roster bubble. What, you think hes the next Tony Gonzalez?

This sums it up nicely methinks........Well said, patchick

BradyFTW!

When Crumpler first came in, I worried that he might be Kyle Brady in 2007 all over again. To say that I've been pleasantly surprised by him is an understatement.
