Watching Film.

[CRT3]

Each team shoots film. One End Zone View and one sideline view, from high up. It is all digital now and film can be broken down in any category. These are called cut ups. Say all 3rd down situations or all 3rd down situations inside the red zone. With the digital age the possibility is endless. I believe 2 years ago the Skins totally revamped there system to upgrade to the modern age. Each meeting room at the Park has a direct feed from the basement. They have meeting rooms for Recievers, RB's, LB's and so on. Players can even get copies on DVD so as to watch them say in the bathroom, on a plane, in ahotel room and so on. They rely heavily on the film and the more they study the more tendancies they can figure out.

I wish one day a show would be totally dedicated to X's and O's. We chat on here about it occasionally as to cover 2's, weak side strong side, gap defense and on and on, but they really need a complete show on this. Playbook on NFL comes close but they tend to pick one play from each team which does not get into theory. I sat up high at RFK under the cameras and Assistant coaches and was able to learn about the game. I became enthralled about where the safties lined up, which was a giveaway as to how to beat them. The QB's spend so much time on moving the saftey and it is the most intricate battle on the field. The mental game is incredible and these guys have to be smart to be successfull.
