Crowder is not using good judgement on when to call for a fair catch, IMO. He's too keen on the idea of breaking a return and not concerned enough about ball security. Way just seemed to foul up at a bad time (choke?).
IMO, we lost our first game because of poor ST play and we had some bad ST plays that fortunately didn't cost us in our second game. But we're just not good enough to overcome ST disasters. I think the Giants are going to challenge us with a couple of surprises on ST.

As far as Way is concerned, they were specifically asking him not to kick it as far as normal due to Tavon Austin being the returner. When you ask a player to completely change up his technique that he has been using his whole life, a mistake is bound to happen. You dont just change someones way of doing things and expect immediate perfection. Its never going to work out that way.
