Now ... a new, fresh wide receiver - same pattern. Huff and puff my way back, getting tired.

Next play, yes --- a third fresh wide receiver runs a fly. Of course, this one caught the ball and scored about 20 yards ahead of me. jerk.

And no ... the thought that they were doing this to pick on a particular cornerback didn't occur to me - they were picking on ME.
