Who played football?
#41
I played from junior high through high school. Although I was on the smaller side at the time, I played DE on defense and slotback on offense. I couldn't catch the ball to save my life, but I could block. It was funny, they'd take me out on most passing plays and back in on running. The other teams caught on, but most times we were good enough that it didn't matter.

I then went on to play at a small D-III school, St. Francis College. It is now DI-AA and is St. Francis University. Anyways, Coach put me at WR my freshman year. I told him, "Uh, Coach, I can't catch." He said not to worry, they'd work with me. They did and I got a little better, but not much. Sophomore year, I switched to SS. I loved it! I started there and had a decent year, but the Coach was an idiot and was starting to play mind games with players. He would sit starters to try to get them to work harder and a bunch of other B.S. After that I had enough and decided to concentrate on my studies instead.

I think with how my years playing went, I like the defensive side more. One thing I can't stand now is how guys "tackle" nowadays. I hate how they just try to hit guys down instead of wrapping up and tackling. Maybe there just wasn't the publicity about injuries back in those days, but it sure seems like now that guys are trying to hit(and lead with the head) guys down, there are a lot more injuries.

Ok. Sorry for the little soapbox about tackling.
