It was times last night I wish I recored video more.
The actualy line up last night run some plays, get everyone some training on where you line up, where you run, who you block, who you tackle...all that good stuff. They split them up into two teams and would just switch after every few plays offense and defense. They had Taylor at safety on defense which was smart. He's out of the way of most of the hitting and can get in on the tackle without getting killed. He was a little hesitant but I think that will fade with more practice and he realizes he doesn't get hurt everytime he makes contact with another kid. Well, when his group switched up to offense, he was on the o-line. Not a spot for him being the smallest kid but he had to be somewhere and he wasn't going to run with the ball. The kid who lined up opposite him on defense is probably the biggest kid out there. We hear Taylor say "You've GOT to be kidding me"(the kid has good comedic timing at times). They run the play and LK and I just about fall over from laughter. The bigger kid literally picks Taylor up and places him to one side and then goes after the ball carrier. He must have done it 4 times and it was hilarious every time.
This. What he said.
Practice last night was much better. Thank you guys so much for your stories, personal anecdotes, and advice. It's comforting.
