In The coach made the game very simple for me. He said, "When the quarterback shouts 'Hike,' you run five yards, turn to catch the football, race to the end of the field, and don't let anybody touch you." He also taught me a defensive play: "You run like hell to catch the guy with the football. Knock him to the ground before he can throw it." Those were the only the instructions I received. And that's how I learned the game. For the most part, I always knocked down the quarterback. The coach called it raw talent, but I had such a sense of urgency - if I didn't get to the quarterback before he threw that ball, I feared I was going to be in trouble. ~Paul Francisco Our authors are: Sandra Bailly, Ron Bell, David Dance, Lisa De Angelis, Hugh Drummond, Paul Francisco, Armindo Goncalves, David Halbert, Chi Huang, Andrea Hurwitz, Anne Marie Boursiquot King, Georgianna Melendez, Nate Pusey, Michael Rawan, Pauliina Swartz, Mary Tolikas, Amanda Trojan, Deanna Yameen, Christie Getto Young and one who wishes to remain anonymous.
