I found the Umpire position well suited for me also, as a new official last year, and a lineman from long ago.... But some habits don't go away. My very first varisty game, very first running play, my first move was to prepare to make a tackle when the ball carrier was coming at me... I quickly remembered I was no longer a D-tackle and let the ball carrier go by. Old habits come back quickly. That desire to tackle reappears perodically, but I have been able to quell that feeling. I can just imagine never officiating a game again if I followed through.
I found I really enjoyed being in the middle, felt like home. yet, this year I do want to get experience at the wings, that's one of my goals.
