Jim Crawley Quotations

We're just not in a position where we can afford to do anything to hurt ourselves.

We're not a good enough football team to recover from those kind of mistakes. Right now mistakes are costing us.

There are policy decisions being made such as restrictions on photography at Dover Air Force Base, restrictions on coverage at Arlington National Cemetery, as far as what reporters are being allowed to cover and the ground rules for coverage.

Right now experience is really what's holding us back. Mistakes we make are ones a young team typically makes.

If the brace doesn't work, we'll probably do surgery right away. The plan now is for him to play in a brace.

He's a big target, and we have to find ways to get the ball to him more.

He wanted to play. We let the team decide that. Porter's a competitor, and they voted to let him come out. He's a competitor from the time he walks on the practice field to the time he walks off. He's a nice addition to our defense.

He did run him over, too. Wayne's a competitor. He gets frustrated about mistakes, but we are not down on Wayne Parker at all.

He couldn't believe how big everyone was. But Aaron has a good frame, and he has the work ethic.

He can't really do any more damage to the knee than what's already done,

I was looking at our play sheet at halftime,

Our QB has finally found a comfort level running the option. He's a great athlete. Passing game, we still have a ways to go, but we did see a positive in there with the touchdown pass.

Linza is the kind of kid that can eat you alive if you give him time, ... Probably we should've brought more pressure in the first half. In the second half, we made him move more, and he's not quite as good when he's moving.

Turnovers were a factor, but at that point, we were down and we were doing some things we don't normally like to do. We were running some passing plays that we're not real comfortable running, but in that situation we were almost forced to do it.

Special teams were a bright spot for us.

They were getting so much penetration it was hard to go anywhere. They're huge up front.

It was a tough season for us, but Aaron was a definite bright spot. Someone would get hurt, and he'd just fill in for them no matter where it was. He's kind of a quiet kid. He does more with deeds than words, but he's a football player.

For him to have only practiced at that spot Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and part of Thursday, he made an incredible amount of progress.

Still, every week we see something else kick in for Wayne. He picks up something new every game, and he's obviously a great athlete.

He's got a great work ethic. He'll do whatever is necessary to rehab that knee.

He probably didn't miss three days this summer in our summer program. He's really starting to come into his own.

The future's bright here. Things should come together by late this year or early next.
