Re: Jamison Crowder our #1 target?

I think Jay Gruden becomes infatuated by certain players and starts to overrate them. The best example of this is Ryan Grant. Gruden loves Grant because he runs good routes and knows the entire playbook for all the WR positions. This has caused Gruden to overlook the facts that Grant is too slow, can't get separation, drops the ball too often, and has not become a factor in the offense although he's in his fourth year with the team. Gruden definitely has a case of football geek/coach love for Grant.

Now, we come to the case of Jamison Crowder. Crowder is an outstanding slot receiver; however, he is also 5-8 and 180 lbs. Any use of him as a wideout or a RB must be limited and situational if Gruden hopes to keep him on the field. Top corners will smother him and beat the crap out of him if he plays wide regularly. What happens to him if he has to pass protect as a RB? He'll be run over by DL's and LB's. Gruden needs to let Crowder do his thing as a premier slot receiver and keep him healthy for the good of the team.
