Watching FNL I had a memory back to HS. In 10th grade I played Fullback, we were getting our asses handed to us. I got to play (I sucked at FB, and our ******* JV coach wouldn't move me to TE), on the last play he called a HB Toss Pass. The OL got blown up on the play, I mean like 5 kids coming at the RB, I was able to take out one or two of them with a diving block, but our RB got killed. Our douche bag coach ran on the field yanked me up by the face mask and blamed me for the RB getting hurt on the play. I felt bad, but looking back at it now with the wisdom I've gained in 12 years, and my god that guy was a fricking douche bag. How was it my fault that 5 OLs and 1 TE missed their blocks leaving me out to dry?
I only saw one more snap at FB that season, largely because of that. Our Varsity Coach though was thrilled to have me coming up as a FB, but he got vetoed and I got moved to OL, then TE my senior year. Go figure, thankfully football was my #2 sport behind lacrosse.
