Jamison Crowder

[Mtn.Devil.91.92.01.10.15]

Just saw that Jamison Crowder was trending on Twitter... an 85 yard TD (http://fansided.com/2016/10/09/jamison-crowder-scores-85-yard-td-punt-return-video/) punt return will do that I suppose.

As a Redskins fan, I'm so happy that we drafted Jamison. The return was great and he's a great receiver as well.

Not a Skins fan, but loved this play. Go Crowder!!!!

I always check their boxscore to see how Crowder did. Saw the return TD and had to google it. I know he credits the blocking but just look how many tackles he broke. He ran right up the middle. I don't think I've seen to many straight up the gut like that.

Amazing!

After Crowder scored the TD, the game commentator said he was "the best in the league," or something to that effect, so I looked it up. And indeed, Crowder is leading the NFL with 27.7 yards per punt return (that includes yesterday's 85-yard TD return). In fact, he's crushing the field. Second place is Andre Roberts of Detroit, with 19.7 yards per return.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/returning/sort/yardsPerPuntReturn

Crowder also has 21 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns as a receiver so far this season, which puts him on pace to beat his receiving stats from last year (59 catches for 604 yards and two touchdowns).

I was actually disappointed somewhat in the commentators remarks about Jamison being drafted to return kicks and acting like him being a good receiver was a nice surprise. I don't follow Duke football all that closely and even I know he was a fantastic receiver at Duke.

The announcers were clueless; the Redskins were touting his abilities as a receiver from draft day onward.

[jv001]

Being a Redskin fan and Blue Devil fan, I have enjoyed Jamison's play this season. I was blessed to be able to pick him up off the waiver list in the Fantasy league I'm in. He's been a good pick up so far. GoDuke!

[kmspeaks]

First punt return TD for the Redskins since 2008, love having that guy on my NFL team. My (somewhat muddy and possibly incorrect) recollection of the Redskins' thoughts on drafting Crowder is that they knew he could return kicks right away and believed he could some day make contributions as a wide receiver. He's made a bigger and faster than expected leap and solidified his place among Kirk Cousins' top 4 targets in his second year.

As someone who actually drafted Crowder, I award you zero points.

On Draft night I ended up with these wide receivers: Marvin Jones, Jarvis Landry, Sammy Watkins & the Carolina Panthers wide out that returns punts. His name just left me. Those were 3 pretty good wide outs. So far Jamison has been productive at the flex position. GoDuke and GoRedskins!

The wide receiver for the Panthers Ted Ginn, Jr. GoDuke!

Yeah, I was just giving you a hard time. I have a rule that i always draft a Duke guy, usually in the 12th round. This year it was Crowder and that has paid off. One year I drafted Thaddeus Lewis, then found out a couple weeks later that he was going to start after the first two stringers for the Bills got hurt. So I went ahead and started him on my fantasy team even though I had Aaron Rodgers who was literally the best player in the league at that point. Lewis wound up outscoring Rodgers that week. It was a proud day to be a Duke grad 8-)

Jamison was named the NFC's Special Teams Player of the Week:

[Lennies]

As a Redskins fan, I'm so happy that we drafted Jamison. The return was great and he's a great receiver as well.

As an Eagles fan, Jamison makes me sad. He catches everything! Of course, that catching everything act would get old and cause strife with his fellow WRs on the Eagles.

Perfect route, perfect pass. Crowder set his man up and got open -- then it was just a matter of holding out his hands and letting the ball fall into them.

I also liked that later on, after a ten-yard loss on an end-around play by Jamison, Kirk Cousins threw him a pass for a first down on the very next play. Good move, Kirk.

[-bdbd]

On the telecast of the 'skins-Eagles game, one of the announcers was pointing out the "clear emergence of Crowder" (as a go-to receiver) on the Redskins this season. Making key TD plays in two successive games will do that for you!

Jamison Crowder was leading receiver in the Washington loss. 108 yards on 7 catches!

[Papa John]

I'm actually a Steelers fan... That said, I was watching the Washington at Detroit game while waiting for my brisket to smoke, and here's what I learned...

1) It's not a problem if the right tackle wishes to take down the defensive end... Tackling a defensive lineman is apparently now a perfectly legal tactic. (Sorry, but Detroit's winning TD as well as the 50-yd plus reception that saw Norman injured and led to another Detroit TD were both the result of blatantly offensive [no pun intended] holds by Detroit OLs)

2) Unless your name is Antonio Brown, Fred Davis, or someone else that Roger Goodell happens to have a bone to pick with on any given weekend, you are immune to excessive celebration penalties and can do whatever you like with the ball after a TD... (by the way, this has GOT to be the most moronic rule ever conceived in professional football)

This serves as a reminder why I shouldn't be watching NFL games on Sundays... When does the college basketball season start, for Pete's sake?

Thank you! I know the old saying is they could call holding on every play but I thought the no call on the play where Norman was hurt was a bit ridiculous.

[blazindw]

I'm a Lions fan who lives in DC, so this week is going to be won-der-ful for me! Though, I was extremely proud of Jamison Crowder yesterday...he was the best player for Washington by a lot and even in the closing moments of the game, I was always happy to point out to my Detroit friends that Jamison Crowder is a Duke University graduate. 7 catches for 108 yards, I believe his first-ever game with 100 yards receiving. With Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson getting hounded on a weekly basis, Crowder is going to continue to shine in the slot.

[Tom B.]

Crowder also laid a sick juke on Detroit's Darius Slay that was worth a replay.

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2016/10/23/jamison-crowder-completely-jukes-darius-slay-video/

[Tom B.]

Oh, and Crowder now leads Washington in receiving yards (391) and touchdowns (3).

[elvis14]

Unfortunate loss yesterday but Jamison, once again, was fantastic. Kirk Cousins, after a slow start to the season, is starting to play really well and part of that is the great chemistry he's developed with Jamison.

As for the Redskins...a loss to Detroit really hurts. It's a game we should win by several scores. Turnovers and injuries really cost the Redskins. Jones' fumble at the 1 yard line and losing both starting CB's, in particular.

[rsvman]

Agree, elvis. Tough loss to handle. Especially given the somewhat ironic situation that if Cousins had done slightly less well on his run, the Redskins worst outcome would have been overtime, and best would have been a win. In other words, had he been tackled at the 1 or the 2, it would have taken another play or maybe two before the Redskins would have scored, which would have left the Lions with not enough time for the winning drive.

I also agree that there were some pretty egregious holding calls that got overlooked. Had they called the one on the play that Norman got injured, the Redskins are likely winners of the game.

Oh well. Next play.

Whew. Glad I read the article. Was concerned he was a Texas A&M fan.

[SilkyJ]

Jamison Crowder was leading receiver in the Washington loss. 108 yards on 7 catches!

I picked up Jamison early in the season off waivers in two leagues, and I've struggled to start him as I have Brandon Marshall, Marvin Jones Jr, and TY Hilton in one league, and in the other I have Beckham Jr, Marvin Jones, and Crabtree.

OBJ, TY, and Marvin are #3,4,5 in total yards. Marshall and Crabtree are 16 & 18, and Crabtree leads all WRs in TDs. Not sure who I bench for Jamison, though he I'm looking for my spots :)

[Bob Green]

I believe his first-ever game with 100 yards receiving.

Crowder had five receptions for 109 yards in a win over the Cowboys last season. Sunday's performance was his second career game with 100+ yards receiving.

[Bob Green]

I didn't see the game as I was playing golf this morning but Jamison Crowder had nine receptions for 107 yards and a TD today as the Redskins tied the Bengals 27-27.

He also had a 23 yard punt return.

Also, Juwan Thompson was activated by the Broncos today and he scored his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard run.

If you didn't see the game and just looked at the stats you'd think he played great. If you saw the game, you'd know for sure that he played great again today. I feel like a broken record every week but I'm so happy the Redskins drafted Crowder. He's a true asset to the team.

As for the game, a sad result for the second week in a row. In the first half the Redskins plays great but didn't score great. In the end, that cost them dearly.

[Tom B.]

Perhaps the most significant stat for Crowder yesterday -- he was targeted 13 times, which tied him with Jordan Reed for the team high. He's now up to 56 targets on the season, which ties him for second on the team with DeSean Jackson (Reed is first with 58 targets; Pierre Garçon is right behind them with 55 targets). Cousins clearly trusts Crowder and has developed a good rapport with him.

Crowder is now up to 40 catches on the season, second on the team behind Reed (42). Crowder is almost on pace for a 1,000-yard season (he has 498 receiving yards in eight games), and he leads the team in both receiving yards and receiving touchdowns (4). He also has a punt return TD.

Sadly, another owner in my fantasy league snapped up Crowder a couple of weeks ago, before I could get him. But I do have Kirk Cousins, and I started him yesterday. Always nice when your QB throws for 458 yards with two TDs.

[53n206]

The guy just find a way to get open, apparently with little effort,and if you throw it to him he will catch it. A true pro.

[jv001]

This week is a bye week for the Skins and that gives Jamison a little time to heal his groin injury. The kid is a winner and I hope he continues to be targeted by Cousins. GoDuke and GoSkins!

Yes, the Redskins have some issues--but Crowder, thankfully, is not one of them. He is looking great.

Issues, you mean like your left tackle and best O-lineman getting suspended for 4 games? Argh!

[MCFinARL]

Um, yes, that would definitely be one. We could argue about the wisdom of the NFL's rules there (probably a topic for the PP Board), but rules are rules--one might wish key players would follow them, so they could play. As this morning's Washington Post noted, this is kind of a bad time for that to happen (not that there is any good time).

Crowder is making a little over $525k this season... one of the biggest bargains in the league, I suspect.

The latest from the Washington Post on Jamison Crowder. This is a real love letter, but it's clear that his coaches and teammates appreciate what he brings to the Redskins. And some really good stuff about his relationship with his disabled brother and how it motivates him.

While no one is ever the "next anyone", I always thought Jamison Crowder's football career upside was comparable to Steve Smith.

[MCFinARL]

And, Jamison Crowder scores the first touchdown in today's Washington-Minnesota game. :D

[53n206]

The game announcer just said" they put their best cover guy on the shiftiest receiver". Referring to Crowder.

Yeh, On the last completion to Jamison, he caught the pass and ran it down to the 1yard line(probably 6 inch line). However he did not get in the end zone. I have Jamison on my fantasy team and the guy I was up against this week had Robert Kelly. Well as fate would have it, Kelly ran the last yard for the TD and that gave the win to my opponent. The best thing that happened was my Redskins won the game. GoDuke!

Oops!

At first I though Crowder rolled off the opposing player into the end zone for the score, but the replay clearly showed his butt was down at about the one-foot line. Oh well. Still a good win for the 'skins.

Also, the Front Page story on football recruit Jarrett Garner cites Cutcliffe recruiting DeVon Edwards for football on the basis of his basketball skills. Maybe so, but that was also the back story on the recruitment of Jamison Crowder, wasn't it? Quickness on the court equals quickness on the gridiron?

Bob Stoops also liked footballers who were skilled in basketball. Spoke of the correlation often.
