knew what was coming.
The New Orleans Saints’ second-year cornerback had done his film study and gotten a pretty good idea what Miami liked to do in the situation it was in – namely, first-and-goal from the Saints’ 4-yard line, on the opening drive of Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadium in London.
So when Crawley saw a big target (Dolphins tight end Julius Thomas, to be specific) break the huddle and line up as a receiver to the right of the formation, Crawley knew what to expect. There was going to be a pass from Miami quarterback Jay Cutler – back-shoulder, jump ball, something – and it was going to be intended for Thomas, directed at Crawley.
