I'll always thank Crable for giving my school an automatic 1st down on a 3rd and 16 incomplete pass late in the 4th qtr.

Also, he is a snitch. Thanks chicken legs.

i get that not every player picked by belichick will make the team or play any meaningful minutes. The gap between college and the NFL is immense. What I don't get is how any player selected in the first 3 rounds can suck so badly and Crable seriously sucked very badly.

I remembered this line so I searched for it and found it again ... it was the kiss of death for Shawn in his profile.

Crable has the potential to be an Adalius Thomas type defender in the NFL

Sheesh ... the suckage potential was right there in that report ....

He was good in college. Played 43 Sam on 1st and 2nd downs and move to 43 LDE on 3rd downs and passing situations.

I was happy when they selected him. God, we were all wrong.

1.5 Tackles in a UFL game. He even sucks in that leage.
