Head-to-head: Steelers WR Antonio Brown vs. Jets CB Antonio Cromartie
Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is one of the more brash and boastful players in the National Football League. And, with 25 interceptions in his eight-year career, he is usually able to back up his bark.
Cromartie is one of the top trash-talkers in the league, but he is also the player entrusted with replacing Darrelle Revis as the Jets' shutdown cornerback. And he will get a chance to back up his talk today when he faces Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, who has posted big numbers the past two games...........

He also holds probably more than any other CB in the NFL. Let's hope they call it today.

Is he even playing today?

He's listed as questionable but believes that he'll be able to play. With a bum knee, look for even more holding than normal.

with a bum knee Brown should light him up with relative ease because of the type of player Brown is .... more of a cutting slicing WR than a strait line guy and that will work heavily in his favor IMO because cutting is hard on the knee and if it is already injured Cromartie is in for a long ( or potentially really short ) days work http://draftsteel.com/ff/images/smilies/twocents.gif

Of course Brown should light him up....which means Cromartie will probably play like an all pro today. Lol

and since the knee of the DB is injured they will probably make adjustments to the game plan send Brown on mostly all straight line routes

Depending on the injury, stopping quickly can be very difficult. Come back routes should also be utilized to see just how healthy that knee is.
