CARSON'S STATS:
AGE: 6 (7, IN MARCH)
HEIGHT: 4' 1"
WEIGHT: 55 POUNDS
POSITION: ALL, BUT HIS FAVORITE
IS RUNNING BACK ("BECAUSE YOU
GET TO RUN A LOT")
In his first ever pass as a quarterback, Carson threw a dart to his
teammate, Isaiah, who scampered into the end zone for a 35 yard score.
League sources say that might be a record for the 5-6 year old flag
football league since they play on a 40 yard field! Carson took a
sweep to the left side to complete the two point conversion. He also
reversed fields later in the game on a critical third and long, adding
20 yards to his rushing total. Dad was quite proud of these feats and
has already sent film to Bronco Mendenhall.
(***Mom was taping while babysitting, so that is the excuse for the poor video. You can expect many more low-quality home videos of Carson's football days to be posted later.)
Carson had his second game two weeks later and followed up his debut with a sustained touchdown drive in his only turn at quarterback. The drive included a clutch 3rd down pass. His two completions on three attempts for a touchdown lead the league by a long shot. I think he might have more completions than the rest of the league combined! As you can imagine, most yards in this league are gained on the ground. Carson also got into the action on defense making a tackle (flag pull) behind the line of scrimmage and by blowing up another critical play late in the game. What a stud!

Just to clarify...I did not write this post! I am proud of Ryan for making his first ever blog effort-other than reading it. Anyone who knows me, knows I don't talk like this, but just in case you thought I went football crazy overnight, I didn't.
Ha, I love that Ryan posted this! Love the pic of the little guy too. I should have known that Ryan would have him decked out so well in his football garb to give him an edge! Do those eye things really make a difference?
You're so funny Jen! Ryan says "as long as YOU think they do, they do!"
I can't express how excited Ryan has been for Carson to finally play! They practice all the time whether it is quizzing or using soda cans to practice. We practiced positions for FHE last week. Some might say that Ryan is a little over the top! All that matters is that Carson is having as much fun as his Daddy.
Wow! I was impressed by your football "lingo"! I don't think you should have told us that Ryan is the one who posted! That is cute though! What a stud Carson is! I LOVE flag football and can't wait until Boston gets to play next year!
What a little stud muffin!!! he could not make Ryan any prouder!! Also, i wondered if ryan wrote that, not that i don't think shannon could, but i am his sister and grew up with the vehar boys and i love to watch byu football, but i couldn't pull that terminology off!!! way to go on your first post ry!
I thought to myself while reading this that Shannon sure does know a lot about football. I thought maybe Ryan had rubbed off onto you his love for football.You can surely tell of how proud Ry is of his little man. Holly Cow Carson is ripped for a 6 year old kid.
