I admitted I was wrong several times in the post you replied to, but you are so obsessed with me that you just twisted everything.
Cromartie did hold Brandon Marshall to only 166 yards and one TD. Pretty pedestrian. Cromartie almost gave up the game tying TD (assuming the Dolphins would have converted a 2 point conversion after scoring) allowing Marshall make a ten yard pick up turn into a 30 yard play and he was lucky that (I think it was) Jim Leonard to catch him from behind. Pro Bowl performance by any standard.
So are you basically admitting that Cromartie's game is limited and that he can only cover vertical outside threats and gets crushed by route runners? If you are, I might agree with you since the evidence is there. He got crushed by anyone other than Moss and Lee Evans (who got free a few times but Fitzpatrick threw ducks to his way). Not every #1 WR is an outside deep runner like Moss. Most #1 guys in this league run over the middle and short crossing routes in their game. Moss used to too, but not this year especially with his limited playbook knowledge with the Vikes.
Cromartie has been everything you said he wouldn't be, period. You can spin it any way you want, you've been wrong with EVERYTHING you've said about him.
You sure don't read well for somebody who likes to write a whole lot of nothing. Marshall did his damage over the middle of the field, Miami's offense isn't vertical, to even suggest that Marshall put up his numbers against Cromartie is comical. What about the job he's done against Moss, TWICE???? Give me a break, just wipe the egg off of your face and be done with it, your bias against the Jets reeks.
Again, I said until last game I thought he cured his dropping problem until he dropped several balls Monday night. So are you denying the balls that hit him in the hands and dropped to the ground on Monday night were not drops?
He had one drop, if you want to call it that. He had to make a play to try to catch a ball in front of a defender, he was rock solid on Monday night, while playing often in a monsoon, you're nitpicking and once again showing your bias.
I said the guy far exceeded expectations. He isn't LT of his prime where he could run for 1500 yards and 15 TDs or so a season, but he is much better than anyone expected. Where did I say anything wrong there. Stop nitpicking.
I complimented Jason Taylor too. He is still better suited for a situational role, but has been solid but not spectacular (minus a few plays) in replacement of Pace. He had some outstand plays, he didn't breakdown much at all. Again, Stop nitpicking.
LT is playing at a level that he could probably gain 1,400 yds easily, but he won't have to because the Jets have Greene, who will only demand playing time due to his talent. No need to wear LT out. But that won't stop you from spinning that he can't do it, because so far, as I said before the season started, if healthy, he would be an upgrade over Thomas Jones, and he has been exactly that.
You are up by just over a TD inside of three minutes with the other team out of time outs. Of course you throw on second down who wouldn't. You could run the clock down to the two minute (with another warning with a run, but where is the fun with that. Both Jaws and Cruden blasted Ryan for it which is hard for them in their ballwashing fest that they put on every Monday night.
They blasted Ryan, so effing what, that automatically makes them right? I love that argument, the broadcasters said it, so it must be...
Sanchez had 5 seconds left on the clock, he should have run it down until the end, that would have ensured that play elapsed to the 2 minute warning, it was an error by Sanchez that was talked about and admitted as much the next day. So again, you're wrong.
He has had a couple of good games one against a horrible run defense where the BJGE did even better against them in tearms of YPC and TDs a week earlier.
Again, nitpicking and selective criticism to fit your spin. Greene has had more playing time of late, LT has been so effective, that he has deserved more playing time, enough with spinning your YPC argument with BJGE, he is your starter, if LT was on the Pats, BJGE doesn't see the field, who are you kidding?
He lost his starting job to Drew Coleman and even Rex Ryan said he was struggling. He came in with high expectations and haven't lived up to them. Not saying he is a bust or won't turn it around, but he has been a disapointment and a key target of opposing QBs. If you can't admit this, we know who is the biased one.
Wilson has been bouncing back and forth between the outside and inside, IMO, he's had a mental overload. Playing the nickel and the slot, there is a ton of stuff to learn and execute, he played the position all camp to ensure he had the role for when Revis returned. When Revis got hurt, they decided to put Wilson outside, where he had not practiced as much, if you step back and look at the body of work, the impact of Revis' holdout, and then his injury, and the fact he's been moved around a lot, he hasn't had an opportunity to settle down in a role. You decided to interepret all of this that he has failed miserably, and Coleman took his job, it's more than that, you just, as you usually do, put a spin on it with your Patriot colored glasses.
I called the Jets an elite team through 5 weeks. What else do you want?
The problem is not my opinion of the Jets, it is your hair up your arse for me. Overall, I gave the Jets compliments. You twisted into bashing. You are just a fraud.
You complimented them and then finished it off with the backhanded "it's early" nonsense, along with your spin and damper with every compliment dolled out.
And I'm just responding to you, because I recall our discussions earlier in the season, and you thumping your chest pretty hard about what you thought would happen, I think I deserve to serve a little crow, at least for now.
