Tae Crowder ... Where the heck did that game come from?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/2/2022 9:56 pm
That man was all over the field...as a run defender...as a blitzer.
Looked like someone who read BBI last week  
nygiants16 : 10/2/2022 9:57 pm : link
I was one who made a thread about him, he impressed me today a lot, he was agressive and his tackling was good..

Maybe signing Smith lit a fire
Didn't BBI hammer on him this week?

I certainly did, I'll fess up to that.
He has looked fine in the past.

Didn't he almost end DeSean Jackson's career? At least the refs did.
He definitely had a career game.  
FStubbs : 10/2/2022 10:03 pm : link
He's a ham and egger. I think when you see him that way, and realize he was a former Mr Irrelevant, we're playing with house money with him.

Funny, just 2 nights ago I was talking with a friend of mine about how rough he had looked and how we desperately needed to bolster the middle of the LB group and then today he pops off with this career day and is all over the place.

Well done, Tae.
He’s had some good games

Very up and down. Late round pick that was a late convert from RB, good for him and us.
When he wraps up he's solid  
widmerseyebrow : 10/2/2022 10:09 pm : link
Maybe someone told him to focus on making the tackle instead of trying to blow people up?

I’m thinking the same thing. Beats having Calitro.
This isn’t directed at you Eric  
Chris684 : 10/2/2022 10:23 pm : link
But generally speaking, he’s done some nice things in his first 2 years if people get beyond the constant bitching.

I have felt since he started to get playing time in 2020 that he’s a useful player. Does a really good team upgrade over him as a starter? Sure, but for Mr. Irrelevant, the guy definitely belongs.
I think was a little upset with

Have to run and hit to play for this coach.

Because he was dreadful against Dallas. I was very critical and stand by it but he had a career day today.

Did you watch the Cowboys game? He was utterly awful and one of the major reasons they lost.

Glad he played much better today but he’s going to have to start doing that regularly for me to think he doesn’t need to be replaced.
Crowder had a few rough plays in the first half  
Thunderstruck27 : 10/2/2022 11:26 pm : link
Where he was out of position and turned his back on the ball carrier. He adjusted and turned in a good game. A big difference between this year and last year is fixing the little things during the game.
We weren't wrong to hammer on him. He sucked

Uh, no. Generally speaking he has been terrible for two years. Today was his career day, and it was against a really bad offense with a bad QB. Maybe he can learn from it and start producing on a regular basis
This reminds me a bit of Lorenzo Carter  
Greg from LI : 10/3/2022 12:17 am : link
He’d be completely invisible for a month at a time, have an impressive game or two, which led to people thinking he had turned a corner, and then he’d disappear again.
Keep in mind  
madeinstars : 10/3/2022 1:34 am : link
The offense we were playing here. The Bears will make a lot of these thumper type linebackers look good, because all they do is run. As soon as teams start passing, that is when Crowder will look bad again.

Agree-not a dangerous passing offense. You can’t control who you play but this is a prime team for someone like Crowder to look good going against. Hopefully he keeps it up when he faces better QB play.
No thread of a passing game meant

He could keep his eyes and his shoulders facing the line of scrimmage. That's his strength
Give the man his due  
5BowlsSoon : 10/3/2022 6:58 am : link
I’m not sure how much coverage he was called on to do, but what he was called on, he excelled in. Thank you TC.

This is true. I do think the lack of a competent Bears passing game allowed Crowder to play downhill.

BTW, if you listen to Daboll, he praises those that should be praised and doesn't say much about others.

He kept on praising Jones, saying he gets better each game. He praises Barkley to the point I think the keep him. He also has had VG things to say about Crowder.

One of the things that Daboll and staff does is identify where players are able to improve and get them to do so. Daboll is a motivator he gets players to buy in and excel.
Crowder and Smith could solidify the inside linebacker position

No. Smith was OK but Crowder was in on 11 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for loss, 2 quarterback hits, and one forced fumble.

He was forceful at the point-of-attack all day.
 
christian : 10/3/2022 8:07 am : link
I’m interested in seeing how many time he blitzed vs. previous weeks. He seems to be much better moving towards the ball than in coverage.

There’s room on a defense for a guy like that. But the Giants definitely need a coverage linebacker.
His best game yet.  
Modzelewski : 10/3/2022 9:20 am : link
He was really quick and all over the place!

Not seeing enough Tae Crowder appreciation Tweets this morning. Y’all bash him when he doesn’t perform to your standards and he was all over the place last night. Give the man his flowers as well.
