How's it going, triple? I hope your team is still kicking ass. ER got another brutal beating on Thurs night.....63-0. They've been beat 188-6 in the last 3 games. Thurs night, East scored 28 pts off of 4 picks and 1 fumble recovery for a touchdown. Young team and inexperienced coaches, who doesn't know their players strengths, is a factor in this plus the other teams are that much better. There are some other experienced players playing different positions.
Anyway, I was doing some Dad talk by us old farts who played over 20 yrs ago and think they know how things should go, you know that talk Coaches could give 2 shits about
. I'm not sure what they are seeing, but how does one give input to a Coach without them getting butthurt. At least in the defense, they have kids out of their natural position and it shows. They go off who showed up during the offseason workouts, rather than the talents. For instance, they have been putting my son in at SS when he is a true CB. He tries his best at the position, I figure they're doing it because he is one of the better tacklers on the team. They have a sophomore at his CB position, who has third degree burns from getting burnt so much on coverage and containing his side. Thurs night, they moved another kid to SS (who is better at the position), but had my son (a Senior) on the sideline, while the sophomore was still getting burnt. Again, this is a result of these coaches not knowing their players.
Well, towards the end of the 3rd, the HC finally put my son in at CB because no one else could cover, not sure why he has a hard on for Cameron. I believe it's because he missed Monday's practice to go to his Marine PT (in which it's every Monday at 1600 and he let the coaches know before the season started). Anyway, East High kept passing even though the score was out of hand, but not one pass was completed against him and he did his job containing his side. Yesterday, they told him he'll still be rotating out at SS with the Banks kid. My head exploded. Im trying to get into the head of a HC like this, maybe you can help.
