Is it me or is Cromartie getting all the calls now ? - Jets Insider.com Forums

When Revis was on the field and giving WR’s the business, Cromartie couldn’t lay a finger on a WR without getting flagged.

Now, every replay I see on him, he’s playing like Revis: excellent in coverage with a strategically placed tug, pull or push off. Against the Jags there were a few that could have been called IMO.

I think it’s a mix of both: he’s getting the calls and he’s doing it better (ie: less blatant).

I've noticed that, too. didn't he have like 5 PI penalties through the first couple games? THink he's had about 1 since his rise to studdom. I saw him getting a little grabby vs. Jax, but nothing called. Excellent

It was his time to step up and I'm really surprised he's doing so well. Knowing he has this potential, but couldn't believe he was ready to activate it.

Bodes well for the pass defense once Revis returns.
They really have two shut down corners now.

If we have both these guys next year ... Omg. He has elevated his game big time.

the Jets pass D has been great since Rex arrived -- I think low-mid 50s completion percentage allowed for the 4th straight year. Especially outside the numbers. And this without a pass rush. I give Wilson some sht on occasion for getting toasted or fist pumping after giving up a 10 yard catch, but really the Jets DBs are probably the highlight position this season. They could use a few more INTs and TEs still do some damage, but on the whole, Cro and Co. have been pretty nasty this season
