Title: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: EKnight on August 16, 2011, 02:33:59 pm http://www.foxsportsflorida.com/08/16/11/Crowder-says-comeback-is-likely-rips-Hen/landing_dolphins.html?blockID=548876&feedID=3720
Highlights: "I probably will (return) next year, two years at most," Crowder said on WQAM, where he has served as a host. "Probably next year. See if we have any attention, try to get an offer. But, yeah, I'm out this year. "Watching the preseason games and all and watching guys mess up and miss tackles, and I'm like, 'This guy sucks, I could beat him out.' " Sure you would. You, and your 53 tackles from last year. There was a reason you got cut, buddy! -EK Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: Brian Fein on August 16, 2011, 03:34:03 pm If you were so good, you would have a job right now. Why is he still on the radio?
Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: Sunstroke on August 16, 2011, 03:57:30 pm ^^^ because he makes inflammatory statements...and that makes for interesting radio. Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: mecadonzilla on August 16, 2011, 04:40:28 pm None of this should be a surprise, right?
I'm surprised he hadn't said something along this line sooner.

He had several offers including New England didn't he? Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: Dave Gray on August 16, 2011, 05:16:26 pm I am boring. Crowders comments are not ripping the Dolphins. To me, it sounds like he's speaking in generalities.
He doesn't say anything about the Dolphins specifically. When he watches preseason games, he sees guys mess up (we all do -- they are grossly inexperienced -- most of the guys playing the majority of the game will be cut before the season starts). He's just saying that he's still better than what he's seeing from the play in preseason. There's nothing combative about that, in my opinion. Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: afphinfan on August 16, 2011, 05:34:12 pm Not to mention that a year out of football will make him even crappier than he was before .. good luck to ya chump!
"Ripping" of the team was supposedly directed at Ireland and Henne. Didn't really appear to be a big deal; if nothing else his assessment of Henne is fair: has the tangibles but not the intangibles. But when you are a loudmouth, everything you say will have a certain slant to it. I love this: “I’m going to walk around, and I’m gonna steal everybody’s liquor,” Crowder said of his Sunday tailgating plans. “Six years of playing, I know I deserve a couple drinks at some tailgates. I’m coming to the stadium. I’m coming with no ticket, dead broke. And I’m going to start walking around and see what I can muster up off my stellar personality.” I wouldn't give him squat Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: MikeO on August 16, 2011, 05:36:36 pm He had several offers including New England didn't he? Chicago, NE, Buffalo, and Philly all offered him deals. His wife is giving birth in 2 weeks. He doesn't want to move so he turned them all down Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: MikeO on August 16, 2011, 05:37:45 pm Channing just said what everyone around the league is thinking. Henne can't cut it and Ireland hasn't done much as a GM except piss off Ryan Clark, call Dez Bryant's mom a Hooker and other things that haven't put him in a good light.
Channing didn't say anything too outrageous today Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: mecadonzilla on August 16, 2011, 07:51:05 pm Channing just said what everyone around the league is thinking.

Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: jtex316 on August 17, 2011, 12:23:09 pm I agree as well - but Channing Crowder is not all that much of an NFL player to begin with. Huge mouth, pea-sized brain, and little contribution.
Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: Dave Gray on August 17, 2011, 02:17:52 pm He's a good, normal player. He talked like a super-star. But he's still a contributor that can make a roster.

Channing didn't say anything too outrageous today I disagree. Saying how you would make one play after another that our current D didn't make, when you've been cut by said team sounds like sour grapes to me, and is in its very essence outrageous. While his assessment of Henne and Ireland wasn't that far out there, it should be noted that if Crowder played for $hit these past two years, he would n't be in the position to say what he woulda/coulda done in the first place. -EK Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: hordman on August 19, 2011, 01:03:35 pm Second string skills and a Pro Bowl mouth... excellent. :) Title: Re: Crowder says return is likely, rips Dolphins Post by: Doc-phin on August 19, 2011, 04:11:02 pm I disagree. Saying how you would make one play after another that our current D didn't make, when you've been cut by said team sounds like sour grapes to me, and is in its very essence outrageous. I don't think he was talking about "our current D". It seemed to me that he was talking about players across the league and he was making the point that he would be an upgrade over many other players that would be making teams. Essentially, he doesn't want to play in the north which is where his offers were. He wanted to stay closer to home and was probably referencing teams like the Jags, Bucs, Panthers, and so on. Crowder is a good player and (if healthy) would be in heavy rotation, if not the starter, on many teams. People don't like his sense of humor, but that is just a preference issue. Lots of haters out there, kinda sad. |
