Dunnie Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 People considering football as a complex science make me laugh I'd love to share some of the physics problems i deal with as special fx supervisor.This game .. even in it's most complex form is not rocket science.That being said ... I know only the basics of Gap responsibilities and very little football jargon.

Biggs Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I understand the X's and O's in French, Russian, Italian and Japanese. Unfortunately I don't know how to translate it to English so I'm dependent on DWC to explain it the rest of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that when most analysts start talking about "Flutties" and such formations, is like French to me. Another topic would be understanding the multitasking responsibilities of each position. I found theae helpful links for Xs and Os and responsibilities per position. https://protips.dickssportinggoods.com/sports-and-activities/football/football-101-football-positions-and-their-roles Since "defense" is "reactionary" for the most part, the best way to star learning is to read a bit about offensive nomenclature and play calling. If you hear a play being called, it all sounds like nonsense, but if you break it all down, a lot starts to make more sense. Offensive nomenclature is the best beginning spot for learning your X's and O's. Different systems use different types of "coding", numbers vs. names for example, but they do the same thing. The set, alignment, protection, assignment and so on... This bit below is a good read to start with. https://www.espn.com/blog/new-orleans-saints/post/_/id/30235/class-in-session-sean-payton-drew-brees-teach-nfl-lingo-101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G950U1 using JetNation.com mobile appThe thing is, in today's NFL the same play call can be executed differently depending on the pre-snap defensive formation and even the in-play reaction of the D. So the QB really does have to know every players role, and most will have 2-3 roles depending, and other skill players may have to know what everyone else around them is doing.Not saying its rocket science, but it is complex, and much more complex than it was 25 years ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonforPrez Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I know two things in my 45 years of life i do not know the X's & O's of Football and why the Fu** should i bother the Jets have been dogsh*t for my whole life except 98-99 & 2009-2010 respectively. I do know when a Football team is bad though and all the Analytics and extra fluff is not warranted. My first game was Jets Colts at Giants Stadium and Eric Dickerson shredded the Jets!. It was then and there i knew this sh*tshow of a team had my heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP63 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Alright, I wanted to go in-depth and explain each and every one of these, but I'm lazy, so I'm just going to list the books I'd recommend for someone wanting to understanding football better. Perhaps at a later time, I'll go into more detail. These are all high-yield, no-fluff books. Nothing about leadership, or building a team, none of it. Just pure X's and O's. This is all off the top of my head. There are many more that I can also list, if you guys would like. From Headset to Helmet, C4, Adapt or Die, and What Is Open?, all by Dub Maddox The Bunch Attack by Andrew Coverdale Concept Passing, and Recoded and Reloaded, both by Dan Gonzalez Complete Linebacking by Lou Tepper Complete Offensive Line by Rick Trickett Building the Block by Le'Charles Bentley Coaching Defensive Football by Bill Arnsparger Match Quarters, and pretty much anything else, by Cody Alexander Coaching the Defensive Line by Fritz Schurmur The 46 Defense by Rex Ryan Coaching the Defensive Backfield by Greg McMackin The 4-2-5 Defense Study by Mike Kuchar Take Your Eye Off The Ball by Pat Kirwan Football Scouting Methods by Steve Belicheck The Essential Smart Football by Chris Brown Football's Eagle and Stack Defenses by Ron Vanderlinden Coaching the Under Front Defense by Jerry Gordon The Complete Handbook of Clock Management by Homer Smith Sites: coachhuey.com smartfootball.com blitzology.com xandolabs.com coachhoover.blogspot.com brophyfootball.blogspot.com footballislifeblog.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
