Kuddos to all of you
I have had my officiating experience in basketball, but I do coach Middle School Football. Yesterday, unfortunately our away game we had scheduled wasn't what was scheduled with the officials and so thus no officials and the coaches has to work the game. I spent a game working on one sideline, and what an eyeopener. What you all as linesmen see is truly amazing. I now know I at least have the luxury of being able to have an angle on a play. Watching down the line of scrimmage everything seemed to move so fast, especially on plays run up the middle. Now I know with experience, the game slows down and you are able to see the play better, but it is amazing what you can and cannot see.
We had a play on the goal line where our FB ran up the middle and it looked like he was getting into the endzone, then there is a collection of bodies and i cant tell where the FB went. Thanks again for what you do, We really cant play with out you all.
By the way, Pretending to officiate this one game was the most fun I have had in a while coaching football....
