Niji: Nittai Recap 7/8
Worst practice in a while. Even though it wasn't even that bad.
When I was playing with a bunch of the underclassmen, it was fine, at least for the first half. I was moving the disc and putting up bombs that were working fairly well. Had some really close ones that were just out of reach too. But, I started to hold on to the disc and not moving it well, which was contrary to what I told my half to focus on as well. Then things didn't go so smoothly.
Even though we had been neck and neck with the upperclassmen team, all of a sudden, we were broken 4 times in a row. Damn. I was moving the disc until this point, but since a lot of the turns were not my fault, I think I started to try to dictate the game and look for big gains, which didn't work, cuz my cutters were tired and not looking for the same things as me. Then, I held on to the disc too long, in perhaps some handler-I-know type fashion, to the frustration of myself and my teammates.
Second game, we switched the team around, and I was with two really good players with whom I had not played together with yet. But, it was even harder for me to play with them, because they would hold on to the disc a lot longer and be looking for different throws. Also, to my frustration, these players would not make the cuts for me right away, they would linger on it, and then cut, which only resulted in the stall count getting higher, and me not being able to throw within my own rhythm.
In other news, I've decided to stop thinking about my offense, play as a role player, and focus completely on getting D's on intense man defense.
