When Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis went downbound with an ACL bout a whatever weeks back, Antonio Cromartie declared himself as the newborn prizewinning cornerback in the NFL.
After threesome Revis-less weeks of Jets football, he's been awesome against Texans panoramic earpiece Andre President (one catch, 15 yards) and Colts panoramic earpiece Reggie histrion (five catches, 87 yards—and digit of those catches weren't against Cromartie), but it would be modify more impressive were it not for so whatever penalties.
Cromartie was titled for quaternary penalties in the instance threesome games, threesome of which came meet this instance week. The most penalties Revis has ever been titled for in a flavour is seven, according to ProFootballFocus.com.
In a flag-happy NFL with rules catered to panoramic receivers, it's hornlike to wait an error-free performance, especially against digit of the game's prizewinning receivers.
There are more positives than negatives to physique on for Cromartie, though, who has held anti receivers to meet sextet catches on 17 passes in his direction, with digit touchdown against him and digit interceptions in that instance inclose (per PFF).
He got a lowercase support from whatever rookie mistakes on behalf of Colts back saint Luck this week, but his programme was solidified nonetheless.
The prototypal transfer Luck modify threw to histrion was intercepted by Cromartie, but Luck trusty his earpiece likewise such to attain a play.
Jets back ballplayer Maybin has daylong been lauded by whatever (including Pro Football Focus and myself) as the prizewinning pass-rusher on their roster, and he evidenced it with an superior change-of-direction advise on Colts mitt face suffragist Castonzo.
The inbound push unnatural Luck to listing to his left, and he proven to intercommunicate the ball crossways his embody to the correct for histrion to attain the catch.
He place it a taste likewise high, and the transfer careened soured Wayne's fingers and into the trusty safekeeping of Cromartie.
Take null absent from Cromartie, but he was the receiver of a intense selection and a worsened intercommunicate on that one.
Wayne caught digit transfer for heptad yards on Cromartie in the prototypal lodge and added transfer for 12 yards in the ordinal lodge of Sunday's game. Both catches came on content routes that had Cromartie antiquity strength digit content and histrion apace movement wheelwork in the another content correct as the ball arrived.
The Colts haw hit had an possibleness for a bounteous play, with histrion fighting Cromartie on a threefold move, were it not for push on Luck, erst again reaching from ballplayer Maybin.
On the season, Cromartie's 5.7 programme evaluate from ProFootballFocus.com makes him the league's seventh-best cornerback in that metric. But his minus-3.1 penalisation evaluate makes him the league's fifth-worst in that measure.
Notably, though, Cromartie isn't the exclusive digit stepping up on defense. Over the instance digit weeks, quarterbacks hit complete meet 50 proportionality of their passes. That is conception cod to an reinforced transfer rush, which has reinforced over the instance digit weeks and has compounded for 17 pressures, heptad hits and quaternary sacks, according to PFF.
It's also cod in conception to the reinforced endeavor of Kyle Wilson, who has allowed catches on meet 11-of-25 passes in his content since Week 3.
Pass accumulation is a aggroup effort—an essay that is enhanced by Cromartie at times, but is hindered by him at another times. He has ever had problems with penalties, but that is conception of the care with cornerbacks who endeavor battleful in coverage.
Teams haw move to essay and verify plus of his weaknesses with threefold moves that entertainer occurrence and guy his length, but Cromartie relic digit of the prizewinning counterbalance corners in the association and by farther the prizewinning on the Jets roster.
