Ball knowers… gimme your ball knowing resources. I wanna learn.

[That SOB Van Owen]

Calling all ball knowers. Like real ball knowers who understand football scheme, concepts, etc.

I want to learn to think and watch football like a coach. I want to be a ball knower. I want to be able to understand what teams are doing and why they are doing it. On both sides of the ball.

What resources do you recommend? Books, videos, blogs, etc etc.

Youtube. Billion amateur film guys out there that are good for breaking down recent NFL or college tape. Football is experienced

ESPN used to do an alternate national championship broadcast with sitting and retired coaches that was always a good watch. Couldnt find one in a few seconds of searching but I remember Rich Rod and Gundy were always really interesting during those

Few good ones

Fleck on WR Play


Sark on the washington offense


Truly psycho 10 hour marathon from Dave Aranda on a whiteboard a friend of mine was part of
