“We played around with our lineup. We had no heavyweight, but fortunately it worked out in our favor. Jerry has a nice young team and it was a great city rivalry match.”
Mark Petersen
“No one ever saw it from that point of view. Jerry says Michael works with the intensity of a bomb squad. That's absolutely true.”
David Hume Kennerly
“Having the opportunity to work with Jerry and know him on a day-to-day basis, he's going to do a great job for us.”
Dan Ley
“Jerry also has played a unique role of not only influencing bluegrass music, but music in general. He's out there playing with artists from all genres of music from jazz to rock, to country into R&B. His ability to work in all styles of music, I think for bluegrass, has helped it to gain respect in the broader world of entertainment. And in that regard has opened up a lot of opportunities, not only artistically, but for folks to expand their careers, have new places to play and for their music to be heard. He's a great ambassador.”
Dan Hays
“We needed a No. 1 receiver. So Jerry [Angelo, general manager] and Bobby [DePaul, pro personnel director] came up with tapes at the end of the season of about 10 or 15 guys we liked who were going to be free agents or guys we thought would be cut for salary cap reasons.”
Darryl Drake
“Absolutely. For the most part, we played good under Jerry.”
Ryan Freel
“Jerry was the best athlete I ever played with. Jerry was a senior at SMU when I was a sophomore, but we also played together with the Cardinals and Packers. He started in the NFL as a halfback, but moved to defense. He was a great runner.”
