Not only because he has worked so hard all season, or that you hate to see any of our players go down for an expanded period of time.
The biggest reason I hate to see Crayton go down is that he plays his position the 'right' way, and does all the little things that helps his team win.
Of his four catches yesterday, two were long third down plays that went for first downs. They went for first downs because Crayton runs his patterns PAST the 1st down marker, or close enough so that when he does make the catch, he can use his superior strength & determination to drag whoever is trying to tackle him past the spot.
Crayton also is one of our best blockers, period. When he blocks an opponent, he does so until the whistle blows, & sometimes after. His man rarely makes the play on the ball.
Whether it's Price or Copper who ends up filling in for Crayton while he's gone, either one will have some big shoes to fill.
When the Cowboys drafted Crayton with the 7th pick in last year's draft, I thought, "Oh, well, another wasted low round pick." Never heard of the guy. Well, he has made a name for himself, and I sure appreciate what he means to this football team. I also pray that he heals quickly & gets back to doing what he loves more than almost anything else in the world-playing football for the Dallas Cowboys.
