At 6 feet, he's a little smaller than most NFL safeties, and even Crouch says tapes show he didn't carry himself like a safety at the beginning of the season.
Crouch's worst moment, he says, occurred on the first play of the first game of the season, when he was among those beaten on a flea-flicker pass that went for 51 yards and set up a touchdown.
