You're kidding me, right? You're concerned about your relationship because she won't offer you literary critiques of your writing? You really need to get some perspective or you're going to live out your life being very sad and lonely. But look on the bright side, your misery will be sure to improve your writing.

You can not learn football by
- just be a player
- watch TV or read ESPN anything
- read one or two books


To truly understand it and I am sorry to say it this bluntly, you need to play it or have played it on a a respectable level and love every aspect of Football.

To understand Football, you need to know more than just what a player knows, assignments and rules. You need to understand the big picture. You need to be a coach. You can not be a coach and understand the big picture without knowing how it is on the field, without having been a player.

So yeah.
First off, everything on TV or in its vicinity is dumbified for the audience. The football rulebook doesn't require you to fill "a box", or play a 3-4 or have a QB or a HB or a TE. A Toss play isn't "THE" Toss. I can draw up about two hundred plays that would be called "THE toss play" on TV.
I've vented about this many times before, but it's always "the" 3-4 or "the" sweep. If I change just one player's assignment in football the play becomes so absurdly different that you can really only can say that there are three down linemen. Everything else is up to the coach.
I can draw up a play that looks like a kick-off formation and do the craziest motion jamboree and it would still be a legal play. Also, ESPN would explode.
And I sure as hell dont know everything there is to know, since every offense has a rather unique attack philosophy and so does every defense.

Just looking at the ESPN Football 101 gives you a good idea how simple things work in the mind of an analyst. It's not only that they don't use the correct definition of "the box", or that the notion that any given 7-man front is a gap control type is blatantly wrong, or that you can or ever should block everyone 1on1 to match up 7on7.


Bottomline, if you want to know about Football, check places where coaches discuss. High school level is best. Though if you want to read up on one specific style of attack, I recommend to get the DC Wing-T from dumcoach.com, as it's easily the most documented playbook/manual out there.
If you read it you most likely are still not ready to successfully coach or understand the game. But you at least know more about the complexity involved in a 8-10 year old YOUTH offense.

Check other sources. Just know that most playbooks on the internet are a) shit or b) in case of college/pro/big high school playbooks they wont tell you much since you lack the additional information required to understand the big picture.

If you have specific questions, as always, I will see if I can find an answer.

One example on how different you can run "the" 3-4.
Our teams runs a 3-4 and so does an opponent. And on the surface we only treat the SS differently. We run a cover-1 man/zone mix with SS manned up on TE. They run a Cover 2/3 Full Zone in case over Cover-3 this results in the LB covering the flats.
I have to attack these defenses completely different. Not even the concept is related offense wise.
Yet, ESPN will say "HURRR DATS THE 3-4"
