As cornerback Antonio Cromartie has abruptly jumped onto the scene as the NFL’s leader in interceptions, coaches preparing to face the Chargers have recently been asked if they plan to throw away from the second-year player.
It’s not a bad idea in and of itself, but as Lions Head Coach Rod Marinelli pointed out Wednesday, it’s not that simple.
“(Number) 23 is a heck of a player, too,” said Marinelli, referring to six-year veteran Quentin Jammer.
Last week, Titans quarterback Vince Young essentially provided the same answer when asked if he’d shy away from Cromartie, citing the strong play of his fellow University of Texas alum.
Jammer’s play this season has spoken for itself, and he appreciates the fact that he can quietly do his job while Cromartie receives the attention from fans and the media, attention that Jammer agrees is very well deserved.
“Let him have all the attention. I like that,” Jammer said. “When he wasn’t on the Pro Bowl ballot I told them to take my name off and put him on. None of that matters to me. I just want to go out and play football. That’s my only thing. I just like to go out there and have fun.”
