No one has said it, so I will...

Patrick Crayton is not having a good season so far. Another drop in the Packer game. He is no where to be seen. The only time you hear his name is when he runs his mouth.

I was a Crayton fan until the loss to the Giants. All the defenders can say what they want, but he quit on that route and had a huge drop. I see the same things with him this year.

Can Austin be the #2? May as well give it a try. He has better speed and has shown he has hands. Put Crayton in the slot, or even Hurd. Why with all the double teams on TO and Witten, why didn't he have a big game(s)? Maybe Romo has seen enough drops to lose confidence in him.

Whatever, the guy is not producing.

His job seems to be running pick routes. Where he "accidentally" gets in the way of linebackers trying to cover Witten.

Maybe the drop is effecting him big time any way I don't think Austin jumps from #4 WR to number #2 because of that game that just silly.

I think Romo has lost faith in Crayton. After the playoff game and another wide open drop last night, Romo is looking for TO and Witten, usually in that order.

 

[YosemiteSam]

He was quite disappointing last night.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

TO had a drop also.

 

[dallasfaniac]

I have mixed feelings about it myself. As much attention as teams have been rolling Owens' and Witten's way and they still manage to catch passes, I just don't understand Crayton's lack of production. He just may be too far down the progressions and Romo has been feeling some heat.

Crayton is a much better #3, ie. lined up in the slot. We'd be better with a speedster like Austin out wide.

 

[Boysboy]

He actually played very well against Cleveland.

Other than that, I thought Romo had somewhat of an off night.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Didnt he just have a game where he was a "man on a mission"??

Huh?

He's always looking at the guys out in the pattern in that order: TO, Witten and then either Crayton or the check-down.

I think Cowboy fans over analyze everything.

He had a good game against Cleveland in week 1.

In week 2, he did a good job of handling the underneath routes which were freeing TO on the bombs.

In week 3, he was non-existent. Not sure what was going on there. Injury maybe?

Overall, I'd like to see a little more out of him, but I don't think he is a liability. He is making some plays. Outside of the drop last night, I haven't been upset with his play.

Would it be great to have Roy Williams or Boldin or Holt in his spot? Sure! That would be sweet!

Is it necessary in order to win? No.

 

[aikemirv]

Romos first option is almost always Witten or To but I really don't think he had time to get to option 3 last night very often, and if he did it was short to the RB.

Against Cleveland - all day - Crayton = big game!

TO had 2 catches last night.

In my book that's not "Managing to catch passes".

You know what noone's said?


How Bout Them Cowboys!!!!!!!!


I seem to be in wrong thread.

Agreed.

Finally someone posts something that actually has a ring of reality to it.

 

[fortdick]

TO had a drop also.

So Crayton = TO? TO makes plays even though he does has the occasional drop. Crayton has no made any significant impact since the Cleveland game, and then only marginal. The guy should have had a huge night last evening, but wasn't even apparent.

Might as well give Austin the shot, he has looked much better in preseason and last two games. He has better speed and at least so far, better hands.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

Again...

Crayton Blows...

4.65 WRs that cant seperate should be in slot.. If route running and 'hands' are his strength, leave him in the slot.

He will never get open on the outside...

He is just like Drew Bennett... Slow, Overpaid and a #3 WR paid as a #2.

I don't think Austin is good enough to go up against teams #2 he doesn't get that much separation either .

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I said it earlier in the offseason that Austin would be a better fit opposite of Owens because of the speed factor, don't get me wrong I think a lot of Crayton but Austin puts the offense in another gear.
