Jessie on his 2nd day of Football Practice

So Jessie is in 2nd grade this year and is playing football. He played football last year and was quarterback and did really well. He was the fastest runner on his team last year and seems to be the fastest runner this year. So he ran the ball quite a bit last year and averaged 2 touch downs a game and until the last 2 or 3 games was the only one making touch downs. This year Andy is the offensive coordinator and Jessie is still QB and he is planning on Jessie running the Flex Triple Option....I kinda understand what that means after it has been explained to me a few times...LOL. So hopefully Jessie won't be running it as much and can make passes or throws that will get the ball in other players hands and we will be able to gain some yards. We tried getting the ball to the other players last year but when the play called for Jessie to run the ball he was so fast that it was hard for the other team to stop him once he broke free. I really like him playing defense and he should be playing defense after the 2nd half.....everybody has to play the same position for the 1st half. So tomorrow is his scrimmage game and then next Saturday starts his regular games. So I will be posting video and photos over the next 2 months of his games and/or practices. I am so proud of him he is a great athlete but he does really good in school too which is why we continue to let him play sports.

So this is a video of him playing defense and he is the one in red...
The thing that is so funny about Jessie is he will lay you out and then get up and walk off like nothing ever happened. He is really humble about how good he is which makes watching him even better.

This video is him playing offense and trying not to get tackled...
He isn't suppose to juke during this exercise but he can't help it so when he finally runs straight it looks like he ran the boy tackling him over instead of him being tackled...pretty funny
