The record I would want to break most of all would be the NSFL single game tackle record, which currently stands at twenty.
There are a few reasons for this. For one, it does not seem like a completely outrageous number to be aiming for and I always like my goals to be attainable. Twenty tackles is surprisingly less than than the DSFL single game record of twenty-two. While I imagine this is partially due to tougher competition and more frequent passing, it still doesn’t seem like much of a stretch to say that could be within reach. Just two games ago in the DSFL I was able to put up eighteen tackles. If my team’s offense had spent just a few plays less with the ball then twenty would not be the least bit surprising.
Perhaps more importantly though, I would want to break it because I love eye-popping tackle numbers and I think I would get the biggest rush and feeling of accomplishment. As a kid, I lost interest in football around my preteen years until for one reason or another I started paying a bit of attention to Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher. It was gritty, dominant defense that rekindled my love for football and I have more passion for it than any other aspect of the sport.
