    We prefer our DB's to be a little more... DBish.

    All good ideas. I like the idea of having a set day/time each month that all could plan for. I'm in, and I will work around the dates/times ... just set one.

    I'd attend if I was around just to observe and learn more. I'm not anywhere near qualifed to break down film.

    Why the Speedo?

    Screw that... it ain't rocket science. 🙂

    Seriously, you can only learn by doing and then comparing notes.

    When you focus on one player captured in a video cut up, it's not hard to determine whether he wins or loses his battle. Pretty soon you then start seeing patterns in why players win or lose. If in some plays you don't end up having any idea what his assignment was, then odds are he did not either.

    There you're trained... 🙂

    Seriously start with a line position... whichever side of the ball you enjoy most. Did the DE guess/pick a side, or did he control and read his blocker? Did the LG miss a stunt because he wasn't quick enough, or did he not see it because he dropped his head initially double teaming the NT? It's really about gauging athleticism, which can't be taught, vs. technique, which can be.

    Then move to the RBs and/or LBs where reaction/anticipation are even bigger factors.

    WRs, DBs and QBs leave for later. Unless you have all-22 footage available they are very hard to evaluate and even experienced amateur evaluators end up with impressions or educated guesses at best, e.g., was the QB going thru progressions, how well did the CB turn out of his back-peddle, how crisp was the WR's cut and did he come back to the ball?

    Mark isn't comfortable with anything involving Zombo that doesn't include him completely and totally clothed from head to toe. I would prefer if he covered that bald spot on his head as well.
