And just like that, Michael Crabtree is a starter
Shutdown Corner — ... the first time he makes a catch. One touchdown, one big catch, one tiny little contribution, and all will be forgiven. That's the way it goes with holdouts. They're easily forgotten, if they're followed by production. It definitely adds a little interest to the 49ers/Texans game this weekend. If it goes like most Texans games have so far, the Texans will put up some points, and it'll be up to the 49ers to score with them. Crabtree could be a factor. Gracias, BigLeagueScrew.
