    Default Did u ever play football? for how long? what position?

    I used to play high school ball...Pinellas Park Patriots, yes we sucked but i wasnt half bad. Never went to college but ima go tryout for the arena leagues here soon possibly after im done serving. And finally i used to play fullback on offense.(kinda a jerome bettis sort of thing) and on defense i played middle linebacker.
    Just curious if any of you out there have played and if u were any good.

    Street ball and P.E. because my school was too cheap to get a real team (we'd have scrimmages and practices but they were too cheap) haha.

    I quarterbacked and was a free safety before my ankle surgery, after I played Middle Linebacker along with quarterback.

    I thought I was pretty decent, and I got a LOT of comments about my arm. I might go for Arena football once I get back into football shape.

    I've been playing soccer for about 6 years and my football coach got me to kick for the team so I'll be starting on Tuesday. The only bad thing is I don't have that much range (max is about 35 yards... more if my leg is rested) but I do have pretty good accuracy.

    Played in high school for Thomas Johnson Patriots in Frederick, MD 9-12 grade. I played defensive noseguard. I didn't care for offense because I liked hitting people on defense.

    Ya...I played for the Parkview Vikings here in Missouri..

    I was the starting OLB and P...I weighed in at 185 at that time so I was a little undersized,but I hit like a freighttrain...Kinda played like a Jack Lambert...(as he was not very big either..)

    But my Punting skills are where my special gift played in...I took 2nd in the city as a Punter..with a 44.3 yards per punt AVG.

    For some reason I was always good on Special teams in hitting ,Tackling and causing turnovers...as well as punting...

    My junior year,I once punted the Ball from the 19 to the 1 yard line (my longest punt 80 yards),then on the very next play...Blitzed and got a safety for our Defense...
    We were playing Rolla and they had a premeir RB by the name of Cary Lang(very player)and I just blitzed right up the middle and got him...

    My weaknesses:Hate Blocking and not very good at it...Being undersized and fast...I did not do alot training or practice at blocking drills do to the postions I was either interested in or being considered by coaches...

    I ran the 40 in 4.68 (my best time)...

    Strengths:Very versitile player...I catch very well,I throw very well,I tackle very well and I kick the ball very well...

    I have a no fear attitude when it comes to pain and hitting people,no matter how big they are..Very mean streak...

    Also noted..Injury free player...
    worst injury I ever had playing organized football was a Hair-line fractured left foot(softmore year)Non-kicking foot...

    But as much as I hate to say it...I was more of a free lancer on defense...My job was to attack the ball carrier and put the hurt on him and use my speed to track him down...

    Also noted..Also had been used on DE on occasion for pass rushing abilities..

    Never missed a game for any reason and started at least either offense or defense throughout my life

    Most inspirational play:I made alot of huge plays over my lifetime...some were scoring and some were as simple as a block punt...

    But I will never forget the 75 yard kickoff return against Hickory hills in a 20-14 win in 1986 right after they took the lead 14-6 on the previous play...we ended up tying the game after the 2 point conv....then later on winning..

    But I like to feel sometimes that play got the momentum on our side to eventually win!

    I know it's silly to feel good about something that happened when I was like 13 or so,but you gotta hold on to those moments...It sure makes life worth living sometimes...(as my team tackled me in the endzone after the play...)and stuff..?

    i may have played against you.

    i only played in grades 7-9, because my jr. high school didn't have a soccer team. when i got to high school, i played soccer.

    i was a wr and cb. my eighth grade year, 90-91, we went 8-0 without giving up a single point.


    now, i coach freshman football at the high school here, my jr. high coach is now the varsity head coach.
