Thoughts on Crable? - New England Patriots Forums

He played alot towards the end. I thought he looked good on the Mike Wright sack. But at times it looked like he was man handled.

It's more from him than we expected in July

This is, essentially, Crable's rookie year. The last two years, he's gotten real game reps. The fact that the Pats brought him back to the PS (when he got healthy) and then signed him to the game roster, is a sign that they still believed in him. And I've seen improvements in him and Cunningham on a regular basis. Even Ninkovich has been improving.

I'm not going to rehash another Cunningham thread but even though he didn't get a sack today he looks really good coming in from the edge. He really is making the left tackle work these last 2 weeks. He will continue to improve and I can't wait to see him for years to come. Can't believe I actually wanted Carlos Dunlap over this guy.

He continually forced Rivers up into the pocket.

A couple times I thought it looked like he took the play off, but I don't know his assignement.

I though he was getting pressure a lot and more then once forced Rivers to throw faster then he wanted to.

He is very fast.

I just recommend he not try the spin move. He got manhandled when he tried that.

he gets a negative score on the spin move ... it was bad.

he actually looked like he lost where he was there for a second.

You are exactly right! Cunningham looks so solid out there, and is only going to get better. These near sacks will be sacks in time.

I think overall he was a ghost out there.....maybe he assisted on some plays but never saw him do anything outstanding. He is BB's binky.....Not sure what to expect from the guy.....

That's ok. You're the same guy who says that Matt Light has been ***** for most of his career, so why would you actually notice Crable being on the field...

What I have noticed about Crable is that he gets a solid push on the RT and usually Drives him back.. As I said earlier, this is Crable's rookie season, essentially (though also his do or die season). He's not been Mike Vrabel of 2004, but he's not been Eugene Lockhart either.
