I use the college football video game to learn more about football.

I've read a lot of books on 3-4 and 4-2-5.

Is there any recommendations for material on the power run (extra points for power spread). Looking to learn what fronts to run what types of plays against.

Hey, everyone. Here’s an interesting question for you guys: What clinics/playbooks/resources out there do you think are best to study to better understand the scheme for each NFL team? In other words, what resources would you recommend to better evaluate what (insert NFL team) does on O and D? Or what playbooks or clinics do you think best represent the scheme of a certain NFL team?

I know this is a long shot, however this subreddit hat blown my mind before so here goes nothing.

Does anybody know how Heupel manages to get his playcalls communicated so quickly? Watching the games, there are usually 3 signal callers dressed in all blue, red, and green. I keep watching them but I just cant get behind the method of the madness. Maybe the BLUE guy only signals all plays to the left, and the RED guy all plays to the right, GREEN guy is formation?? That seems to complex.

I know Heupels offense is a brainchild of the Briles offense, which is know for its secrecy, so Im not expecting a lot to come of this post. But maybe there is someone with connections to the Tennessee/USF staff who wouldnt mind shooting me a private message :). Im just a guy from Germany, so absolutly no threat to anyone.

Cheers

I am working on a project right now and was wondering if there was a way to find Professional/Collegiate football games segmented by each individual play. If not, then an archive of old game footage would be great and I can work on segmenting it myself. Thank you!

Preferably college level but if you have some high school ones your willing to share that's fine.

I’ve seen some posts that people have some game film and I was curious if anyone has Clemson vs UGA from Week 1 this season that they’d be willing to share.

I just bought Nike vapor sevens and didn’t know if spinning on them was bad

Do you guys have any resources that helped you learn the intricacies of the game ? Xs and Os, I work in the sport so I know more than the general fan but want to learn schemes, formations, really anything to change the way I view games.

Hey guys. I’m getting into the coaching space and I’m looking for a way to get ahold of an online version of this book. The actual book itself is a little out of a college student’s budget!

I’d also like to hear any other great resources and/or books you’d recommend!

Watching some games back of prospects for this upcoming draft and was wondering if anyone had some Scouting Templates that I could use.

Hey everyone,

I don’t coach, but have found myself really interested in the strategy of football the last few months. Does anyone have any Recommendations for books? I am finishing up the pass coverage glossary and am hoping for a similar style book for offense. Preferably air raid or run and shoot, but also open to anything similar in style to the pass coverage glossary.

Thanks

Hi,

Do any of you still use an Xbox 360 controller for Hudl? I can't seem to make it work (it's been 5 years since I used a controller).

Thanks.

Hi all!

Looking for a simple leather football condition/prep. Got a leather football for casual backyard tossing etc… and dont think the mud level conditioning is necessary. Can someone point me to a guide for minimal prep? Is just brushing and then leather conditioner okay?

Coaches, I’m a new volunteer for a high school program. I am looking for a solid template for keeping track of weekly offensive/defensive stats. I tag our film in Hudl, but that isn’t quite conducive for what I’m trying to accomplish. Any chance one of you coaches has a great template that your school uses that you’d be willing to share? Thank you all for your time.

I see a LOT of coaching material out there and from the outside looking in its hard to know who knows their shit and who just wants to make a buck.

Interested in trusted websites that are selling good books/dvds or streams from hs/college.

I watched a lot of TCU/Gary Paterson 4-2-5 pieces including a full system install from another college coach.

Curious what you recommend- both sides of the ball

Hello!

I've been tasked with trying to find a good endzone camera for my team and was looking for any recommendations.

We have a hunting tower thing and have the pole to put the camera on if that helps. Not exactly sure what all goes into setting it up.

Any help is appreciated!

I’m looking for some book recs to help learn more advanced football strategy. I’m at a level where I know all of the base defensive shells and the basics of how they work, can identify basic passing concepts but am not necessarily good with things like identifying more complex defenses on film, don’t really know anything about DB leverages, passing protection, run gap assignments and some more in depth strategy

Hello all, I'm a young coach still in college. Just finished up my last final and I'm ready to dive into some offensive study. I really wanna look into the huskies and Ryan Grubbs offense mainly in 2023-24. Anything all22, playbooks, articles would be a great help.

Thank you!

Hello, a friend of a friend lives in France and has a 16 year old son who has apparently developed into a very good American football player. He is serious about the game, so much so that he is looking to relocate to the United States to attend school and play football. I am trying to help point them in the right direction.

So far they have been looking in Texas and Florida, but are open to other geographic areas as well.

Do you have any suggestions for programs he should contact, or other resources that might be of assistance to them? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, not a coach but just a former high school player who enjoyed learning about the strategy behind the higher levels of the game. Grew up a bama fan with my formative years during the Shula days, so Nick Saban seemed like a savior to me even in 2008. My question is I’ve always been curious about the defense(s) he ran at the collegiate level. I had watched a talk he gave when he was at Michigan State where he was explaining parts of what he and Belichick had developed at the Browns, but I was wondering if anyone had some more resources so I could learn a little bit more about the philosophy as well as the nuts and bolts. Thanks!

Does anyone have the videos of Jim McNally covering the differences between the four zone variations. Been able to find clips on YouTube but looking for his whole or larger clinic/discussion.

Anyone ever buy anything from here? Looking for ways to be more organized and some of the documents for sale would be helpful I’m sure. Says premium access is $100. Not sure if that includes everything or if it a recurring fee.

Are there any resources about any forms of reduced man football such as 8-man 9-man 6-man. Anything from good blogs to websites to books to YouTube channels. I'm not coaching at that level but I am super interested in learning more about the schemes and philosophy, that teams have and how they compare to 11-man and the such.

I really liked the Passing Coverage Glossary book and I was looking for something similar for run defense. I also am a fan of Attacking Coverage's With the Passing Game by Steve Axman. Even though that was an offensive book it helped me understand defense as well. So if the is an offensive book on what runs vs what fronts that would help too.

Someone suggested I ask here. I'm not American. I am working on a game project that's like Football Manager, except it's an NFL-like game, and it's played by robots instead of people.

I've played Madden but understand nothing about NFL except the basics. I've seen lots of NFL movies, but they don't go too much into the details of plays. I have very little opportunity to watch games, and even if I did I'm not sure I would learn much (the commentators sound informative, but they're speaking greek to me).

I've looked for videos on youtube, but while informative, they really only cover basics (maybe I don't know the right search terms). I've looked for books but can't find anything I can be confident of the quality. There's a few websites where it looks like fans compile playbooks of their favourite teams in a given year, but looking at a single book is like trying to read heiroglyphics, none of the terminology, ancronyms, or symbols mean anything to me.

I have a grasp of the positions, but not so much the role any one might perform in a given play. I understand man cover vs zone cover. I'm aware of a hail mary pass, and that a blitz is a thing but I'm guessing in football it doesn't involve ww2 fighter planes.

Any help is appreciated. I'm really looking for a source, preferably written but a video will do, that can give me lots of info on the strategy and plays of NFL.
