But, we should really match it up with the basic playbook from 2003-2004 (its online), when possible, so we can get the terminology down for the alignment/formation....which should give up the blocking assignments on O + gap assignments on D.

2. Take note of the personnel within the alignment/formation. Easy enough.
-But, as a bonus? Identify, for instance, who is the "star" or the "money" defender?

3. Identify the offensive passing concept vs the defensive coverage on each play. This will be a bit more difficult. We'll only get the basics (Y-hook, smash, snag, etc) vs (cover 2, quarters, fire zone, ect) but it's important. You really don't know jack without it.

So yeah, #3 is the big one. Why? Cause I'm so afraid we'll have post-after-post of people simply making comments like "durrr, but Welkah was open on the other side of da field and Brady didn't see it! Overrated!" or whatever nonsense, you know? You can't identify a truly open receiver unless you have at least some understanding of the passing concept and the numerical/coverage reads that accommodate it....based on the defense.

A couple of notes about all-22 in general:

1. it isn't ALWAYS all-22. They pick which camera angle to show AFTER they know what the play result is. If it is a run up the middle or pass across the short middle; the EZ camera stays zoomed in. So for instance, if somebody wanted to know if a wr is doing his run blocking responsibilities - you cant see it.

2. There is no audio or on screen down-distance. They intercut a shot of the scoreboard between plays. No audio either.

3. they generally show each play twice.

If they show an intercut shot of the scoreboard, then that's good; cause that's how real coaches break it down.


This is coaches tape on Colts vs Chargers. This is how it should look.
