An Interview with Howard Coward.
Austin Copperheads running back Howard Coward is coming towards the end of his 8th season in the ISFL, all of them with Austin. Coward currently finds himself in the running for running back of the year, as he’s part of a 3 headed rushing leader race with Ace Anderson (who has more yards than Coward, but it’s due to volume) and Kyle Crane, who should be the RB of the year favorite entering the final two games of the season. We sat down with Coward to get his thoughts on some football related topics.
“Howard, you’re currently sitting at 1340 yards, only 30 away from your personal best set last year. How do you keep getting better, even as you get older?”
Coward: Lots of training in the offseason. I do what I can in the gym to keep my body at its best, and that includes having a strict diet. Ever since I took over the sole rushing duties in Austin 4 years ago, I’ve improved on my yardage total each time, and I’m going to make it a 5th straight year in my next game. Hopefully, I can get to 1500 yards, which is a goal of mine.
“Despite your best efforts, Austin is only 4-10, having yet another rough season. Is the lack of winning getting to you?”
C: “Normally, I’d say yes, but after we won the Ultimus, the main goal of winning a championship was met. I’d still like to be MVP one of these days, but I’m also well aware that my time is growing short on that front. Now, I just like being there for the team when it needs me.”
“Do you think you’ll finish your career in Austin?”
C: Time will tell. If I spent the rest of my career here in the Teal? I’d be very happy. But, with the losing and rebuilding, I’ve also told my GM that if there was a trade out there to send me to a contender where we can get some good pieces for the rebuilding of the Copperheads, that I’m okay with him sending me away. Whatever is best for the team.”
“Thank you for this quick interview, and good luck on your quest for 1500 yards!”
C: “No, thank you. It was my pleasure.”
