Football can be really exciting–even if your team is already done. Today I watched the Eagles play very bad ball against a depleted 49rs squad and make it to the show. Then I watched a depleted Chiefs squad do the same. We’ll see how the ‘show’ goes….
Some Thoughts:
- Madden is going badly. I got mollywhopped by my kid and I think I learned but one defensive thing from the entire situation. I gotta be faster on the sticks in terms of adjustments and I really need to learn how to play offense and read the D ALOT better than I do. I see an 8 man rush and I still try to run the ball–I have no way to hurt him for committing that many because my Wrs and TE still cannot get open in the man or the thin zone coverage. This is me failing.
- In the athletic world of children, both the boys are in HS training to play at the DB position. The younger still wants to do RB and hopefully gets a chance to play at the freshman level and perhaps develop into a sold back. He has the frame and size to be a terrifying corner right now. Does he have the technique, speed, and instinct? Not yet. His big bro does, and I’m hoping for a good Senior year for him. Because of the way High School Football works, he has already started getting ready and serious practice is coming up early summer.
- I don’t have a lot to say tonight. Not about anything really. Sometimes it be like that.
