[Rohirrim]

I have a feeling Royal is going to leave a lot of CBs in this league feeling like that. ;D

[montrose]

Big ups to Cromartie for admitting he got shi**ed on. Most players these days don't take the heat and just redirect it elsewhere.

[TheReverend]

He better hope for an excuse to check himself out of Week 17 or Brandon will whip his again.

[Bronx33]

It takes balls to admit stuff publically (i respect that)

[400HZ]

I'm glad that he didn't try and make excuses. His hip didn't look like it was bothering him on Sunday, it just looked like he was getting caught out of position over and over.

[Bronx33]

yep..

[BlaK-Argentina]

Yep, I respect the fact that he admited it.

I like him a bit more now.

That said, I still think he's way overrated.

[Pat Bowlen]

I have a feeling Royal is going to leave a lot of CBs in this league feeling like that. ;D
Probably, but it was Brandon who worked Cromartie over on Sunday. The article could have cut the guy some slack by pointing out who was destroying him.

[TheReverend]

Admitted it? That's one line of the article and the rest of it paints his hip injury and that he couldn't focus on the game because of the hurricane!

The whole article is a massive excuse for being publicly humiliated by Marshall.

[BroncoBuff]

I have a feeling Royal is going to leave a lot of CBs in this league feeling like that. ;D
Yeah, but half the problem for these CBs is really Cutler ... he rifles the ball into such tight windows, even close coverage gets burned.

[Old Dude]

So long as Cutler and his receivers keep getting time to set up the patterns, a lot of opposing cornerbacks are going to have tough days.

It's not like we don't know the feeling (as fans, anyway.)

Remember what it was like watching our secondary trying to cover Wayne, Harrison, Stokely and Clark?

That really sucked, didn't it?

Dude where are you?

[Kaylore]

That's what stuck out most to me. This reads like he got beat by Ashley Lelie. Why can't Charger fan point out Marshall knows how to play football?

[Inkana7]

That's what stuck out most to me. This reads like he got beat by Ashley Lelie. Why can't Charger fan point out Marshall knows how to play football?

Because he's not a Charger. Non-Chargers only do well when they get lucky.

We all know that Marshall can play, but even if it was Jerry Rice out there, giving up 16 completions or whatever it was is unacceptable. The writer wanted to write an article about Cromartie hoping to bounce back. Not a Brandon Marshall fluff piece.

[Rock Chalk]

One big excuse article.

"I dont want to make excuses...but..."

To be fair, why was his wife and kid still in Houston with Ike coming? Its not like he couldnt afford to get them out.

And if his hip hurt him so much, well, the coaches are stupid for playing him.

One big fluff article. Boo.

[socalorado]

We dont want or need fluff either, just an honest accessment of the situation.
Marshall burned Cromartie all game.
There. done.
Move on now to bouncing back next week. At least thats what hoculli told me.

[HorseHead]

outside of LT, if for some bizarro reason they had to break the 'Bolts up...I would take Cromartie in a heartbeat...he's still a freak....

[vancejohnson82]

the comments are the best to read...

[JJJ]

That's what stuck out most to me. This reads like he got beat by Ashley Lelie. Why can't Charger fan point out Marshall knows how to play football?

Cro got worked by BM no doubt. Jammer may be the better one to put on him next time around. But it looks like Marshall will get his catches no matter who is on him. You guys got a stud there. 18 catches. Shiat.

[NYBronco]

Excuses nothing but...

[ScottXray]

What is this interception that clanked off his hands. Anyone recall seeing
that? I sure don't.

[Broncos_OTM]

Admitted it? That's one line of the article and the rest of it paints his hip injury and that he couldn't focus on the game because of the hurricane!

im glad we see it alike. because i thought he sounded like a big baby

[400HZ]

It was a third down pass. It looked like Marshall was running a fly. Third quarter, I think.

[Orange_Beard]

SD got no pressure. None. Last year they got pressure on the Qb and had no problem stopping the run. He was an all-pro, this year reality is setting in. SD's run D is weak. They are playing more of a run stop D, He ain't going to be that good if he has to cover a guy for 10 seconds.

Right now I'm in La Jolla

[Peoples Champ]

I agree. I give him props for taking blame, instead of blaming it on the whistle call at the end. Most of the other team did and their coach.

[Kaylore]

SD got no pressure. None.

But, but Jyles Tucker is the greatest player in the universe! Didn't you hear? Losing Merriman wouldn't matter because Jyles Tucker is friggin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[Pat Bowlen]

Yeah, but while he's listing all these other reasons for not playing well they could have also mentioned one of the biggest: the guy he was covering is one of the better WRs in the NFL right now and Cromartie would have had his hands more than full regardless of his family or his hip.

[Northman]

One big excuse article.

He will be right after he gets on the juice.

The Chargers line up their corners on the right and left side. They almost never assign a corner to a specific player. Marshall was on the left side for most of the game where they could pick on Cromartie.

The Panthers picked on Cromartie all day long as well. Teams will continue to pick on Cromartie until he steps it up.

The article never said that his wife lived in Houston.

[Old Dude]

Good God, am I the only one who sees a pattern here?

Week 1: DeAngelo Hall, $70 million CB gets picked on relentlessly. Gets so upset that he commits stupid personal fouls. Yet, despite the fact that Royal is killing him over and over, he's just left out there.

Week 2: Cromartie, another high profile pro-bowl CB, gets picked on relentlessly. Gets so upset that he commits a stupid personal foul. Drops an interception. Despite the fact that Marshall is beating him over and over, no adjustments are made.

Cutler and his gang are like a pack of school yard bullies, just picking out one kid, each lunch hour and just beating him over and over while all the other kids stand around, picking their noses, and saying wow, dude, you got handled. What's wrong with you? We thought you were a tough guy.

Part of what's going on is that Denver's O has the defenses confused and shifting and drifting away to different parts of the school yard leaving one guy to take the beating ... all. day. long.

Charger fans can't blame this on Cromartie alone. He was just the victim de jour.

[Old Dude]

I mean, seriously, this is like watching a Survivor V replay.

"I'm confused."

"Didn't see that coming."

"Wow. Did you guys hear something?"


B-a-aaaa Ba- -aaaa- aa

[Bronx33]

The guy says he played like 'straight trash' and for some folks that isn't good enough and remember cro didn't write the artical also have we seen a interview from carl paymah about his wonderful play? and i doubt we will these players don't have to say anything but cro did.

[Dedhed]

When you've got an excuse there's always a reason to lose.

[nickademus]

dude that article could have been three sentances long and it should have started with "Brandon Marshall beat me like a two cent hooker". The rest of it was one GIANT excuse followed by "Qinten made me blow him again after that melt-down". Stay classy San Diego.

[Old Dude]

Next!

Things haVE CHANGED AROUND HERE OD

[Greybeard]

That's what stuck out most to me. This reads like he got beat by Ashley Lelie. Why can't Charger fan point out Marshall knows how to play football?

Yes, the fact is, Cromartie was owned by one Brandon Marshall. These excuses
about his mind being elsewhere and all that just doesn't fly. He was owned.

[DenverBrit]

I wonder if 'Pac-man' is watching Marshall and still thinking...."Yeah, I can take him"? Hilarious!

Ed Hoculie shares the blame here beyond the fatal blown whistle call. He was no where to be seen on those last two pass plays that gave Denver the lead.

[maher_tyler]

Admitted it? That's one line of the article and the rest of it paints his hip injury and that he couldn't focus on the game because of the hurricane!

Word!!

[OABB]

the chargers have become a laughing stock. They are the biggest bunch of women ever.

case in point: phillip River's was the most professional player on that team this week....

ouch.

[Bronco Yoda]

according to STATS, Inc., Cromartie was burned 10 of the 11 times he was targeted Sunday, which contributed mightily to the Broncos' 350 receiving yards.

OUCH!

[JJJ]

But, but Jyles Tucker is the greatest player in the universe! Didn't you hear? Losing Merriman wouldn't matter because Jyles Tucker is friggin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!

If you want to see Jyles Tucker being held like a baby by your O-line look at the last two plays of the game. He was mauled both plays. Houchili kept it going right to the end.

[x123z]

Any corner back can have a day like Cro if Cutler has that much time in the pocket.

The five minute mark. Pretty clear holding. 4:15 wasn't as bad was also a hold.

[oubronco]

sounded classy coming from a Chugger but it'll happen again cause he's no match for B Marsh

[Paladin]

There was an unmade holding call on Sproles' KO return. Looking foir excuses by reviewing the "tape" and loking for non-calls is rather pointless. That game can be played by every team after every game.....

The sparkies fans need serious counseling.......

[azbroncfan]

You can call holding on every single play. Sour grapes for sure from JJJ. Makes the blown call by Ed H. even that much better.

Except Clady wasn't even holding..

[azbroncfan]

I never even watched it so I don't know and don't care because no matter what anyone says or thinks Denver is 2-0 and SD is 0-2.

[sixtimeseight]

JJJ works for the league office, if he can convince enough of us that the Chargers were screwed on numerous plays, Goodell has promised to overturn the game.

[AZBroncomaniac]

Wow. What a joke. NFLN's AFC Playbook focused on the excellent job by the Oline, and especially the great work of Clady on the last two plays creating time for Cutler.

[boltaneer]

Can't complain about holding this year. The refs are simply not calling holding. I heard there were only twenty or so holding penalties called in week one and that was with a number of rookie o-linemen making starts.
