Are you serious? He's 10 yds down field. No one to block. Only ones further down field are Hurd and Downs. A RB and a TE. They're supposed to be further down field. The reason the play didn't go further is because North missed his block. Crowder did exactly what he's supposed to do on this play.
Because as has been stated on this board (ad nauseum) CBJ has decided that no matter what, Thomas is going to play somewhere. It must be his potential because it sure isn't for what he has earned in practice or on the field.
Hope he can play the position better in a game than he does in practice.
I saw Crowder do exactly what he was supposed to do there.
Too bad dude didn't post one of the dozens of plays showing Mack getting thrown out of the way like a rag doll, or whiffing the LB on between the tackles running plays. I have defended MC before, but to act like he doesn't have severe physical shortcomings is ludicrous.
What do you expect from a close family friend of Crowders? Steeler just threw the whole staff under the bus.
McGillicutty,
Don't know where you got that. I put it out there that there is a lot going on that most don't know and won't know. Ask Weisman or Kendrick after the season. Hell, ask Maggitt after the season. Players are keeping it in the locker room and Hyams, Twitter and a large segment of VN are inflating things and mind-crafting all kinds of B.S.

So has Jimmy expanded on this on his radio show? His tweet says he missed practice, upset at not starting. It did NOT say he missed practice BECAUSE he wasn't starting. There could be a potential big discrepancy in how you read it.
"Everything is about depth, and competitive depth. And it's every individual understanding, you're one snap away. You may not like where you're at right now, but that's why you keep your head down, and that's why you keep grinding, each and every day. And that's really where your mental toughness is born is, is really doing the things that the team needs to win...these players up front have worked very, very hard, and I'm excited because we are creating that competitive depth...."
