Crable showed nice mobility working in seven-on-seven drills, dropping effectively into coverage and doing a nice job of sticking with receivers. The 6-5, 243-pound former third-round pick looked like he added some bulk to his frame during the offseason. After practice he said he worked on one area in particular that he felt needed some extra attention.
“A lot of training, a lot of leg workouts, trying to get my legs bigger and stronger,” Crable said when asked what his offseason has been like. “A lot of one-on-one with [strength and conditioning coaches] Harold [Nash] and Mike [Woicik]. A couple of meetings and watching film and things like that to try to learn.”
That has to be music to Andy and Fred’s ears. They have been constantly harping on Crable’s spindly legs ever since he arrived last spring, and his work in that area is sure to pay dividends.
“I have to learn,” Crable said when asked what the coaches told him to work on. “It’s my second year and I have to be more consistent and doing a lot of things better. They’ve voiced that opinion to me and I have to take that seriously.”
When asked what he learned from what in essence was a red-shirt year as a rookie, Crable’s eyes lit up.
“A lot of knowledge,” he said. “I sat through a lot of meetings and had a lot of workouts and things like that. Just hoping to be smarter this year.”
