Thoughts.

So apparently the fields drained enough to be good to go today. We got out and had some good practice time, I got to practice in time for a couple rounds of huck drill and then we got down to a bit of O v D scrimmaging.

I had a good time playing; I was a bit out of gas towards the middle of the first half (we had 8-man teams, so I didn’t sub out much), but then I subbed for a couple points and was good to go for the rest of the game.
I was really surprised at how well we played; we were executing really, really well with our deep looks, and had a lot of points where we really ran our O like an O-line; lots of good looks, generally valued the disc, and made a lot of conversions. Our D was really solid, though the O eventually started running some set plays, getting some breaks, and scoring more easily.

Not to say we were perfect, there’s still a ton of improvement to be had, just keeping the offense moving constantly and responding to what the disc is doing when the handlers dump-swing etc, but the scrimmage as a whole was very very productive and I feel like we made some good progress in addition to getting a bit of conditioning. Definitely a good practice to have after a bit of a layover.

I don’t really have a ton to mention on a personal level, aside from the need to work on my handling skills. I really really like putting it quickly to the first thing that looks open to me, which can be really good at getting the offense moving, but there are lots of situations where I should level off a bit more and take a more o-line mindset with the disc. But it’ll come with experience, I think. I’m fairly happy with my cutting as a whole, just the consistency in cutting when the opportunity’s there to work on.
