Topic: Crocker back in action with the Bengals this week

Watched him at his usual nickel spot on defense, had his usual couple tackles and had a key breakup while covering Antonio Gates on 3rd or 4th down that caused them to give the ball back.

He is doing a great job  this year - they are playing him more in the traditional nickle spot (guarding the slot) and not having to run deep with receivers much younger than him.  He has had a very good career and is much respected in Cincinnati.

Use him a lot in blitz packages too; didn't get to the QB today, but had a nice game.  Orange Tigers are 8 & 4. loving it.

I don't like them cutting him and then bringing him back later in the season like they have done the last 2 years, but he comes in and becomes an instant leader nevertheless.  He is well respected by his teammates.

He may be nearing the end of his career too.
