Are you ready for some football?

Tyler had his second game of the season today. He has changed a lot from last season. He's mean, he's tough and he's ornery. Am I disappointed in this change? No way! Last year he was the biggest but gentlest kid on the field. This year, he is a force to be reckoned with. On Tuesday the opposing team had 4 guys guarding him by the end of the game. Tyler was understandably frustrated that he couldn't move on the field but understood that it was good for his teammates, because 3 of them were not being covered. Today he shoved the QB after the whistle blew, just to make a point. Lisa - you'd better to Scott to send some recruiters, only 4 more years until he's a senior!

Here are some pictures. He is number 62 or as Amelia identifies him "the one with the brown legs." The last shot is his teammate Aaron in the end zone. I anticipate that sports illustrated will be calling me with a job offer after they see this shot.

He was crabby when I spoke with him after the game. I asked him what was wrong and he said he wasn't going to run his mouth. I asked what that meant. He said the guy he was guarding was a jerk and he wanted to leave it at that so he wouldn't say anything inappropriate. For those of you who know Tyler well, he must have been mad. This is as mean as he gets.

I've emailed his schedule to his aunts and uncles. If any of his great-aunts or cousins want his schedule, let me know and I will forward it to you.

Tyler is the one with his arms wrapped around the QB.

Here Tyler is the 2nd from the right on the line.

Here he is the big guy in the huddle (on the left)

I love this one, he is the guy chasing red #18
