[DEVILOLOGIST]

SteelerMatt,, your son is a great kid and has nice hands. Would love to have him at Russell,,,,,hint,hint.... Teasing.. well no not really but he is a great kid and from what I see of him, plays a great game of football..

Yes the talent does not drop off with the second team as much as you think.. It is a blessing and curse to have so many good kids..... Play the 11 that get the job done and have the next 11 trained to play every position on the field.. I think that is one of the best things about this team.... Our kids know multiple poisitons, 12 is our guard and ran very well last night for us..... our fullback ,57 also knows the guard and tackle position with all the pulls and traps....
I catch alot of grief at times about playing time and I try to do as much as I can.. I know that there is always going to be some parents who complain about something, so I try my best to be fair keeping all variables on track as far as practice time, performance and the voiced opinion of the player.. I had a couple of kids tell the coaches last night..." I dont want in" and "I don't want to play that position....."

I even had a kid walk up to me last night and say" Hey coach, when you watch the film you can see me carrying a water bottle, I do that real good." This was one of the most disrespectful statements I have heard so far this year.......

I hope that all of your kids were injury free last night and I will see you guys on the 21st and prolly again in the Black Bowl.
