With a little research, Pete and Dad figured out that the father of the best player on Pete's T-Ball team played in the NFL for 12 years as a defensive back. So Pete and Dad decided to do the only sensible thing, which was to challenge them to a game of 2-on-2 football. The date for this game has not yet been set.
Pete and Dad practiced a bit over the weekend, including in the rain on Sunday. (Good practice for balance, and learning to catch the slippery ball). These are the offensive plays that Pete has learned so far:
1. Buttonhook
2. Stop and Go
3. Over the Shoulder
4. Criss-Cross
5. Hail Mary*
6. Pitch
7. Hand-off
* Note: sometimes Pete will say a little prayer during the Hail Mary, depending on how much space he has created between himself and the defender.
Sam has been the stand-in so far as defensive back. The plays may prove to be more difficult against a taller opponent.

Or an opponent that actually wants to stop you, not just play with Pete.
they sound like wonderful plays! I am trying to go deep in my memory to recall a play Ben had ... maybe it was something like ... oh, i think i remembered it: dipsy doodle! others might have been: razzle dazzle, ... uh oh, i forgot the others
