An up-and-down night was concluded with a nice bomb that would have went for a touchdown and a good effort during conditioning. We have to sharpen up prior to Saturday's scrimmage, though, if we want to be prepared for the season.
One point we have been stressing to the players is that if they don't know what their assignment is on a given play, they should ask the coaches immediately before the play begins. Chances are, if one player has a question, another has the same question. Sometimes it is difficult to admit that you don't know your assignment, but going through them before the play starts in practice is preferable to going through it after the assignment was blown during a game.
The coaches understand that some of the kids have missed practices due to vacation, Hunter's safety, illness, or other reasons. Sometimes the coaches will call a play that was practiced on a day a player missed practice. That player should never feel ashamed to ask the question.
Hopefully we will see progress in Saturday's scrimmage. See you then.
