Somethin New Everyday

Yes, i havent been updating this blog because of technical difficulties....hard to believe when you got someone like my mom whos a whiz. But yes i have survived the first week of pre-season. To mine, and pretty much the whole team, practice has been less harsh.
Coach Curtis has a new way to run practices this week, and we aren't complaining. The way hes doing it is that we have something to do every minute so we can keep our minds fresh. He also cut all water breaks, it sounds harsh but its actually better. We get as many "breaks" as we want..like if your at the end of the line in the drill u get a swig. Too bad that swig tastes like soap (80% water, 15% gatorade,5% laundry detergent).
But too keep our minds fresh, he also gives us about 6 new plays a day. We practice them in our offensive period, then go over them the next day. I personnally like this new system and i like our team. My teammates haven't been gettin on my case about my shoulder, and i was afraid they were. But as a player and friend they respect me and know im a hard worker. We've had a few bumps and bruises, some serious ones. My top reciever Alex Tanner is out for awhile with a shoulder injury...that really kills me. Our O line is havin some trouble with the schemes, but im not worried (Red! Pull it together!) ,plus Daytons chicken scratch is barely legible..looks more like brail. But so far...surprisingly good. Did i mention i was captain? :)
