Still not right. I brought this up in another thread but Moore FAR outsnapped Crawley last year despite playing 2 less games. He also had 12 starts to Crawley's 5 (2 of those I believe came when Moore was out).

B.W. Webb started more games and had more snaps than Crawley.

The fact is the starters are PJ and Lattimore, with Moore as the nickel (and/or PJ sliding inside when Moore comes in on the outside).



Can't seem to find anything official so I am not sure. Guess we will see on Monday.

The coaches aren't required to release one, so as you said we have to wait until gameday.

But the reason the media ones are listing Crawley as a starter is because we played him a ton in the preseason and he started when Lattimore was out iirc. So the media sees that and assumes he's the starter, when in reality we were just giving the guy a ton of reps for experience.

Moore didn't need all those reps. They know what they have in him. Crawley hasn't suddenly made a huge leap.

I mean if you watched this preseason you saw the same things he did last year: great ability to stick close to the receiver and knock down balls, but then he gets handsy and also gets burned on double moves fairly easily. He is still very green.
