ZRod Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That really does suck for the team and especially for him personally. But I think we've got some pretty good talent behind him and they have actually seen the field this year and gained some experience so we should be in good shape. Hopefully he can be a good mentor to those guys and provide some more sideline coaching. Quote Link to comment

n.e.husker Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Never really panned out to be the star we expected him to be, but he did great things at this University and everyone in the Husker family is going to miss him. Star? He was great in his time here. He was solid with Suh at his side, and just as solid his junior year withour Suh next to him. He had his sites on the career sack record at nebraska(would have been tough), but He will still go down as one of our best Dlineman. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This will probably be my lasting impression of Crick: Yeah, that's one hit of Crick's I'll never forget. When I saw it live I was a little worried Price would't get up after that. It was a perfectly clean, awesome football hit. But vicious! A real slobberknocker! Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This is not what we need right now. Unless it is. Seriously. It's hard to tell in these situations where your star player goes down. But there are plenty of examples in team sports where a) younger players suddenly realize they can't hide behind the guy who gets all the attention and b) everybody realizes they will have to pick up their game and c) the loss sparks a higher level of unity. Not that this defense needed any more wake-up calls, but it's entirely possible they rally around the fallen Crick and start playing better than they did with him. Quote Link to comment
husker_doc Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I realize this is a terrible blow to the team, but Chase Rome is an absolute monster. The kid would get his chance, unfortunately it is coming early. Crick will still be around as a leader and voice in the locker room, so I'm not worried about loss of heart or play, but his knowledge on the field was more valuable. Hopefully with Baptiste and the Depth at D-Line this won't be too big of a hit to the season.... Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Good luck JC. Puts some preshure on the rest of the DL but who knows maybe they feel the preshure and step up their games to a higher plateu. T_O_B G>B>R Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 And here's the other side of returning for your senior year. I guess Suh got lucky. Quote Link to comment
Bleedin'BigRed Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sad day in Huskerland... And the news comes out on my b-day, what kind of birthday gift is this Bo?! Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sucks for Jared. He was a great player, he did his job within the system, and he made plays - he did everything you could ask of him. I hope his draft stock isn't hurt too much by this. Quote Link to comment
1Huskernation Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 anyone know if he got insurance before he came back? Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 anyone know if he got insurance before he came back? I think he only had collision. Not bumper-to-bumper. Wait - what are we talking about? Quote Link to comment
BLEED4BLACKSHIRTS Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I hope people who were giving this kid so much flack about not playing up to expectations respect this kid for trying to play with a torn pec........We will miss ya Jared Quote Link to comment
