This is equivalent to waiving the white flag. Cravens had been taken out on several plays already, and just falls to the ground on this play.

Cravens comes up to the line of scrimmage, squares up in front of the QB and then knocks down the pass as soon as it’s thrown. There were several other times he did this in other games.

Jared Goff takes off running and Cravens has a chance to lay a hit but gets beat by a spin move.

Cravens takes on the block from the fullback, gets off of it with no trouble, then picks up a tackle for a loss on Christian McCaffrey.

Once again, Cravens gets fooled by a read-option play. He won’t have to deal with these in the NFL, but lack of awareness is concerning.
