FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for June 02, 2021

Peter, we hardly knew ye.

Time to show them those Foxtrot reflexes.

I’ve a question, Coach: you’re not letting Fox on the team at all, are you?

Time to see if Peter can run for his life like Shaggy when the music starts playing.

If you can’t take a hit, you need to be able to run. If you can’t run, you need to be able to take a hit. Ideally you can do both, but if you can’t do either, you’ve got no chance.

I think Peter is the sacrificial lamb here…

I had weak ankles as a kid, so the hockey coach had me try out as goalie. I was also near-sighted. It was good practice for being on the wrong end of a firing squad, I guess.

I don’t think that tackling dummy was the position Peter had in mind.

Unless the point is to get more conditioning out of your players, it’s a useless drill. You need to see if your D-linemen can shed blocks and get away from them.

He’s not gonna make it thru the day…

that coach has some humor

Think he’ll get his quarter back after this?

Uh oh!

Time to demonstrate the speed and agility he was talking about yesterday.

I was small but my coach put me in as a tackle. The play call was “Over him on two.”

RUN AWAY!!!!

Run Peter run!

just gave peter a chace

The coaching decision is correct. Peter is a scrub. Coincidentally, the Defense is going to scrub the turf with him.
