i'm defensive as hell when it comes to the dolphins, but i'm sorry to say that i don't disagree with anything mason had to say. http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sport...calls-channing-crowder-a-horrible-player.html i love how we got rid of matt roth and kept this loudmouth.
The Crowder hate today makes me sick. I don't care what you think of him, he plays for OUR team. We should be behind him after being disrespected like he was today.
When it rains, it pours, do not like Mason dissing Crowder, do not like Crowder mentioning McClain in the press.
I've lost a lot of respect for Mason. Ironically when Crowder called Mason the "old guy" he must have tuned out (or his hearing aid wasn't kicking in) when Crowder then said "he's good as hell." Derrick Mason was one of my favorite receivers in the NFL. He is no longer one of my favorite receivers in the NFL. No one deserves to be spit in the face. No one. What Mason said is beyond disrespectful, but rather childish.
Crowder needs to shut up, wipe the spit off of his face and make a play. Or better yet just retire...
i don't know about anyone else, but i don't necessarily hate the guy. i just hate loudmouths (ala joey porter) on our team. it only serves to rile the other team up and blow up in our faces as it did today.
forgot to add...i would have respected mason more had he taken the higher road and not talked trash back (the whole 'silence speaks louder than words' approach), but channing is attracting this sort of attention.
I think Crowder is solid yet unspectacular. He doesn't make the flashy plays but he seems to be effective against the run. There is a noticeable difference when he doesn't play. I don't think he should be at fault for not being able to cover Rice. Dansby couldn't do it either. I'm not aware of any 250 LB that can on a consistent basis.
**** Mason he is the enemy if ya get beat by the enemy you dont tell everyone BS You fight another day. REDEMPTION its the only way to live. He got a touchdown he didnt destroy us. and if anything he should have done the spitting not the other jambroni
Playing for the Dolphins or not, I am not going to back up a loud mouth who doesn't and never really has come close to backing up his mouth on the field of play. I don't like talkers like Mason so much but I cannot abide a guy who talks trash with no real on the field cred. That, is Channing Crowder. He is not solid by any means. He is consistently taken out by blockers. Mason's analysis was dead on here: I can't disagree with any of this. Shut your mouth up; get out there and make plays. He should follow that advice. Crowder is consistently blocked, is rarely in on big plays like a tackle for loss, and is little more than the 11th body on the field. Classic case - the screen TD pass. It was a pretty clear read and he was slow to react and went right to the lineman; then was taken out completely. Didn't even get near the RB to even force a cut in a different direction. If Mason is classless - what does that make Crowder - who talks continually and never backs it up on the field? Who basically incites other players - like Mason - to play with fire and prove their worth? He benefits no one on this team with his mouth; and offers very little benefit with his poor play. The defense played poorly today - in some respects it was on Nolan. The Baltimore offense game planned perfectly with delay passes on TE block & release plays and screens (that's how you beat a blitzing team) and Miami just didn't have their bases covered on several of those plays. But, Crowder was basically worthless out there - he gets blocked as much or more than any starting ILB in the league. ILB would be a core position I would draft next year - along with another DB - on the defensive side of the ball. Add a tough, playmaking rookie and cut Crowder.
Crowder bring this down on himself because he can't keep his mouth shut. If he could play more and stop talking, none of this crap would ever happen. Crowder is his own worst enemy.
Screw Channing Crowder..... As a Dolphins fan I don't owe that guy anything. He is a big mouth sack of worthless garbage and I'm glad someone finally told him so. The comical thing about it is Channing actually thinks he is a good player. He is that stupid.
I think if you don't see the difference between using words and spitting in someones face, then you need to get your head out of your ***.
I think if you don't see the difference between an insult and the truth then you need to get yoru head out of your ***. Derrick Mason is old. Period.
Only Crowder could make it so that an NFL story features Anne Frank and Helen Keller. Seriously, did anyone expect to hear Anne Frank and Helen Keller brought up in a post-game? I'll admit I laughed at how absurd it all was, his rant definitely amused me. He played a horrible game though, but he was playing well before Sunday.
Well said. But he'll make a tackle 8 yards down field and get up shaking his head at the opponents sideline. He's an f'ing joke and Mason was right.
Derrick Mason didn't spit in his face. So I don't see why that keeps getting brought up. I hate a lot of the Ravens players for being a bunch of wanna be thugs. But Derrick Mason doesn't fall into that category. I can't disagree with anything he said. Especially this part:
I have no problems with anything Mason said. Mason is one of the most underrated players at any position the last 10 years. Channing is a slightly above average MLB. I'm glad to have him on our team, but he doesn't carry the defense like Dansby does.
Question: Did Mason ever see the video of the Crowder interview? Mason sorta looks like an *** for over reacting on an innocent little comment that wasn't ill willed.
That's a generous assessment. I can't think of anything he does better than average. Unless you count talking **** as part of being a good MLB.
I think that's kind of the point though. Crowder is nothing special but he talks like he's a pro bowler. His play simply does not back up what his mouth projects. That rubs fans the wrong way and I can just imagine how much it rubs opposing players the wrong way seeing an avg. player talking so much crap. I respect Crowder for what he is. Solid but definitely unspectacular. I was never one of the crew on here saying we were better off without Crowder because at this point we are not. He's a solid role player. Having said that, as amusing as his comments can be, it does rub me the wrong way as well that he has such a skewed view of his abilities that he feels so comfortable talking so much crap. He simply dosen't back up what his mouth continually projects.
I disagree. I support a Jet fan free board. In fact I support a Jet fan free planet but one step at a time.
Crowder is laughing at all you chumps just like after the Matt Light incident. His baby-man outburst sways you from looking at his ****ty game play. He's just went Jedi mind trick on all of you losers.
Great way to focus on a partial point and attempt to convey it as the complete comment. Point is that Crowder dosen't need to consistently talk and taunt players. He's not good enough a player. I could definitely see why other players would take the time point out what a blow hard he is. That's it.
