a06cc Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Has anyone heard of him? Projected to go 1-3. Been doing some research and I must say you guys have to check him out. Could fall to us, needs work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 He's very good.... quick and strong.... But he's very much a 4-3 DE. I think the only question is L or R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsfanej Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Idk anything about this guy but a lot of 43 de make a good transition. Werner was 43 end and a guy named Robert Mathis had a pretty good year after the switch lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06cc Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 I've seen him stand up on a number of snaps. I think he can make the move to OLB in a 3-4. We play a hybrid so he'll have his hand in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Things I like about CrichtonDiagnoses plays well (not perfect at this but pretty consistent, Will guess once in a while but not alot)Takes good angles in pursuitPlays contain well, shows strength an disciplineDoes have experience standing up in a 2 point stance (2013 vs Arizona State is just one example...He is versatile...even playing RE in a 3 down alignment containing the runDoes flash a spin move sometimesTackles wellShowed some strengthFlashes a good closing burst (But not elite) Things in my opinion he needs to work on Does not shed blocks consistently wellDoes not have a dominant pass rush moveDoes not have an great first step...I have seen much slower but he is by no means great in this categoryGets tripped up easily by players that have fallen at his feetNeeds to learn how to use his hands better dropping back in a short zone or Man, Not much experience at thatSnap Anticipation I think he projects as a 4-3 LE, Not a dominant pass rusher, Lacks a great first step and an elite closing burst, Needs to continue to develop his strength for the next level......I think he does however have enough athleticism to play 34 OLB but like I said, lacks a great first step and will need to add a little more strength...He has 3 Down player potential and maybe some teams will try that from the start http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIPkmMCSYxM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a06cc Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not necessarily, Werner did not have his hand in the dirt alot last year At the end of the season they played with their hands down as if we were playing 4-3 a lot. But he'll stand up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manning1887 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I actually saw some website actually compare him to Bjorn Werner. Not sure we need two. I have seen him as a late first rounder anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
