I know im giving the negative nancies a chance to tee off here, but is anyone else concerned that Crowell hasnt really played at all this preseason? Im worried that he wont have his footwork up to par, or be well conditioned. Hes also missed time to gel with Poz and Mitchell. Nobody has really discussed Crowells situation this offseason. What gives?

Re: Crowell
He's also not in practice today.
Crowell's one of the more solid players on our team so I'm not as worried as I'd be if it were one of the younger guys (assuming he plays). But not practicing certainly doesn't help.

Re: Crowell
I think when it comes to vets that have proved they can play well, it's not as much of an issue to get a lot of time in the preseason. It would've been nice to have him out there, but I think he'll be fine. I'm more worried that his knee could start swelling again and he'll miss more time. But, if he's out there, he'll be fine.

Re: Crowell
All I know is that he seems to have a knee problem, perhaps a chronic problem that produced a lot of swelling - and caused him to miss a lot of time - in the preseason.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Originally posted by OpIv37that could be a problem because it could limit his conditioning. For someone as experienced as Crowell, missing some practices won't hurt that much, but not being in shape will be detrimental.
