Rivera on Jamison Crowder: “A veteran, comfortable out there catching punts for us. Looked really good. Very crafty, shifty route runner. We were looking for a more veteran guy out there to help out. We’ll see how the rest of the week unfolds.”

– Signed S Keidron Smith

Depends on who drives or takes the bus to the airport for the trip…

Seriously though why not give your team some confidence by announcing the starter. He thinks he’s getting an edge, but he’s probably making the situation worse. https://t.co/qIRDAUg6XF
