Is Nick Cross ok?

[ProblChld32]

I haven’t seen or heard anything injury related post game, but on the second Interception by Jones you can see Nick Cross go down and he immediately start grabbing for his knee. I truly hope it was nothing serious and he is ok.

I think the only injuries were Kenny, Dallis and Kwitty.

You sure that wasn’t Flowers on that play? I thought it was

Cross came back and played after he got hurt. He finished the game. 

 

I also want to give him props. He has constantly been in good position this year.

 

His ball skills are just lacking and that makes me feel like hes playing out of position, but he looks like a really good football player to me.

I’m not sure. I think he’s getting better, that play he made to actually cause the first interception was a thing of beauty

Yeah and hes been all over the place. I think he has around 40 tackles thru 3 games and Ive seen him miss a few as well. 

 

He should have made a play on that long ball early in the game (to Odunze I belueve), he was right there and just missed it.

They let him play SS and that fits him much better. He’s had a good season so far. Still needs to work on coverage skills, but beyond that he’s been reslly good.

I like him as a SS. He's got juice and can run with anybody.

 

Noticed him on Rome a few times where Rome couldn't shake that speed.

Whats the status on Paye?  The other injuries?

Is this the same dude the forum " experts" called a bust and wanted the Colts to cut? That guy?

Cross just need to trust his athletic skills and realize that he is a 4.3 guy not 4.5 and play tight on the line during rezone or short passing attempts. Cross has been very good for us so far this year we just need him and Blackmon to stay healthy.

Didn't people want him cut because he hurt Downs in practice? That was silly.

 

But I think most people just felt like he as unproven at FS...which he is.

 

He's been solid so far though. And his speed certainly plays. I tend to think he's more suited for SS though.

Yeah I will own it and eat my crow. I called to cut him when that happened. Overreaction in hindsight.

 Ridiculous. He smothered, what 40 yards downfield a very big, elite speed guy, he turned his head back perfectly timed, got his arm up right in the heart of the receivers catch basket, but the ball came in what, 3-4 inches to the side of his arm. No, he covered that bomb incredibly well, sometimes it happens. He had the same coverage on the tip for an interception play.

 He doesn't have that much game experience. But you can see that the speed of the game is coming to him. I'm seeing a guy with a very high ceiling and pray we find more just like him.

Yeah I know but he should still make that play. He put himself in position to do so and that definitely means something, regardless.
