So this actually happened to me when I was playing football in fourth grade.
I was a left tackle and realistically had no real interest in football and never read the playbook or anything, since I was only eight realistically my instructions were "Stop that dude and don't let him get past you". My view of the field was really narrow as the only thing I ever tried to do was stop the guy in front of me. I wasn't very good at it but I was bigger than the other kids on the field so that's where they put me since my little athsmatic ass couldn't run fast at all. So most of the time that's all I paid attention to, never really knew what down it was or what we were doing.
So one night game that I will never forget was when the coach had me play some iron man football, had me playing on both sides of the ball. This team had the biggest damn 8 year old of a center I ever saw on it, He did a 2 point stance since he couldn't get all his fingers on the ground past his belly. So the coach puts me in at nose tackle (which I never played in my life) and just tells me to dive at his feet as soon as he snaps the ball. So sure enough I dive at his feet and he fumbles immediately and we recover.
I blew that team up that game doing nothing more then diving my chubby little butt at this kids legs every time he snapped the ball, causing 3 fumbles, two of which we recovered. My teammates damn near carried me off the field after we won that game and it was the most fun I ever had playing football. I think my Dad almost shed a tear of joy gushing about how well I played that night.
