The rucking support drill we did yesterday at practice provided a definate scarewithrob.

Rob and his blazing dynamicism did not participate in the first phase of the drill, as he opted to support one-legged-Chaddles on a "Hippo" in the second phase. Chaddles took the "Hippo" ball at pace and raced towards the pad-like defenders. Feeling like a spring chicken in the crisp night air, Chaddles decided he would give defending pad Matt Upton a "shot at the title." Rob was in good support of Chadly as they neared impact, but it turned out, his support was too good. Chad's aggressive strike force on Upton, was repelled straight into Rob's cranium when Chad got stood up, slamed into Rob's supporting head, stumbled backwards, and dropped the football. It was almost like a "double kiss" in the game of billards. For this analogy I would like you to envision Upton as the cushiony rail (I know, cushiony is a good word), Chad was the 8 ball bouncing off the rail in the opposite direction from which it came and Rob was the Cue ball trailing the ball it just hit into the rail.

UPDATED TO ENSURE NO CONFUSION: Chad was the person running with the ball, therefore he is the one who dropped the football.

Rob staggered off from the collision punch drunk and possibly slightly concussed telling enforcer Scully that all he could see was "like a black cloud."

Luckily, Rob's sheer manliness and dynamic make-up pulled him through the remainder of practice with no further scares to speak of.

On to Mobile for more fun and games.
