Its amazing how much confidence in yourself and each other you develop over the course of the season working in the same crew and same position.
Though I've never done it, I would think that would be the case. For experienced guys, I'd think it would be the way to go.

So let me ask a follow-up: at what point in your career should you join up with or try to form a crew? Does it behoove new guys to just do as many games as possible with as many different people as possible to get as much exposure to different things as possible before "settling down" with two or three or four other guys in a crew?

My problem is that I have such an odd life/work schedule that I'd hate to tie what other guys could do to what I'm able to do. At some point, if I can't be there most of the time, it kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I think it would be great to be on a crew, from the comfort level standpoint, the camaradarie standpoint, and the ability to provide a better experience to the participants. But I'm not at that point at the moment, I don't think.
