LOL Yep, sounds very familiar!

I remember doing these drills in practice. Our coach wanted to make a point that we needed to be more aggressive. He lined up a QB, a running back, and a lead blocker. The lead blocker was a lineman, probably 200-250lbs, and the RB was one of our typical backs. Then he asked me to step in and play LB. This 250lb kid ran straight at me to block him and I took him out so the guy behind me could make the tackle. Then he said, "now if this little guy can take out this huge blocker, why can't you bigger guys take out the smaller lead blockers?" It was a rather large ego boost!
