Plus, when they leave him alone, they leave a former all pro receiving tight end, not a Rod Rutledge.
....and Aaron Hernandez is light years better than the immortal Lovett Purnell.

Here. Here.
BUT, I'm not sure why Crump isn't used a little more in the passing game. He's been a fantastic possession receiver in the past.
I really hope he's with the team next year. Doubt that he will be, but he's been a great sign for the Pats.
What says that he is not? He'll be 34 at the end of next season and will be in year 2 of his deal for $2.4m. Thats decent money but not crazy cash.
Lost in the rising fortunes of team success and the individual brilliance of Devin McCourty, Danny Woodhead, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez is our machine veteran reformed blocking tight end Alge Crumpler.
Whilst not being a massive target for the Patriots (3 receptions for 35 yards) I can't help but feel he's been one of the acquisitions of the season for the Patriots. By all reports he's been a fantastic leader in the club house and from my observations Crumpler has great rapport with the offensive line, not only knowing his blocking assignments but executing them with precision most of the time.
Whilst we've all celebrated the recent success of BB's drafting this season I believe Crumpler has been one of the reasons Tom Brady has stayed upright and is playing some hellified ball. For mine, Crumpler has been the smart veteran acquisition this team needed to improve the Patriots and add stability to a very young side. BB has worked his magic again.
Well done Alge. Keep up the good work.
yep will defiantly will add to this... all you have to do to know his worth is listen to TB every time someone asks him about hern and gronk he always mentions Alge and how big he has been to this team.
He got good separation for that TD against Buffalo as well... signs for a secret post season weapon?
Alge is one of my favorite players on the team. I feel that he embodies what a Patriots player is all about. Hard working, 100% effort, team first, not seeking one own's attention or glory. He does his job well and makes others around him better. I couldnt help but smile when he caught his first TD catch of the season last week in Buffalo. Everyone focuses on the rookie TE's and they are both having a great season but Alge is every bit of important to this team.
....and just made a little kid's day.
Crump= Class Act
Dan Connolly has a better chance at MVP returning kicks then Crumpler does.My favorite fantasy end to the season has him as the Super Bowl MVP.
