I played some DB/safety. My buddies were amazed at all of my smack talk. I would only challenge the QB to throw it my way. When he didn’t, I would ask why he was scared of the slow ass white boy?
Meanwhile I was encouraging the WRs that I covered with man, you are way faster than me. You were wide open…what’s wrong with your QB, he never targets you, and on and on. It was very much fun…
I still miss playing. From tackle to flag football as a resident and attending. I played WR, TE, DE, OLB, Safety/DB, even played center for our flag football teams. Playing center may have been the most fun. I could snap the ball anywhere into the backfield. Our first play on offense, I would snap it to our QB who was lined up as a wideout, depending on the defense, he would throw or run (basically from the sideline). Center is an eligible receiver and nobody ever covered me.
I wonder if there’s an over 50 flag football league? Now that I am almost an empty nester, I’m going to have to look into that… now fielding a team of old goats will be the main issue.
