Weekly Press Conference Notes

I've been too hard on Danny, I should blame the WRs more:

"On the interception, he threw a great ball and the guy ran the wrong route. He still probably shouldn't have thrown that ball, but we had a guy run the wrong route, and it should have been cleared."

"He also had the TD pass to Brit Davis and that was right on the money. He was 20 for 28 the week before and completed 15 in a row. You sure want to eliminate those interceptions and I'm not going to make excuses for him and he doesn't either. He has shown a lot of positive things too."

Our D-Line is worse off than I thought. Geez check out what Joe has to say about the injuries!:

"We have been hit real hard at the tight end spot and the defensive tackle spot. We have lost five of our top six defensive tackles. We moved Dan Keller from offensive guard to defensive tackle, so that is one of the big switches we have made. He played defensive line a little bit as a freshman, but then we asked him to move back to guard, where he played in high school.

The big problem with losing all of these tackles is four out of the five are out for the year. Adam Schroeder is done, Rusch is done, Antonacci is done, and Holycross is barely hanging in there.
I don't know if he will play Saturday. He could be done because of some shoulder issues. It seems like we have had more injuries in 12 years than ever. Many of these knee injuries were non-contact and it's a freak of nature. I guess the football gods have not been our side. Perez has a sprain in his shoulder and should be back in another week."


Here's a Beacon News article on the Injuries:
