How many people understand scheme and formations in football?

[verbaltelekinesis]

Coverage responsibilities?

How you can use motion to determine zone or man coverage?

I learned all this stuff from simply watching the game, but I get the feeling that a lot of fans don't have a clue. And these are people who have been watching the game as long if not longer than me.

So my question is, how much do you know about football and how did you learn it?

 

[MikelArteta]

I do, mostly from playing madden as a kid

I learned 1st by playing madden as a kid then I built on that by watching games in person and watching a lot games and pre/post game shows and analyst. And I learned a little by playing.

learned a lot or formations and football jargon playing high school ball both offense and defense like i can see formations and say what they are now the nfl is a lot more complicated so zone blitzes and stuff are a little over my head but i definitely know more then the average basics

i can coach a football team by myself

 

[JBoy]

I know enough to not be confused, but I find myself constantly looking up formations to better learn them

 

[Shogun]

I played in high school but I barely know shyt when it comes to how the pros do things

 

[MAKAVELI25]

I just enjoy the game tbh. I get all basics and I know more rules than the casual fan, but I couldn't coach a team or anything. I was born and bred in Nigeria, so I didn't even start liking the game till about 8 or 9 years ago, but I gotta say: I LOVE THIS bytch

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I don't know shyt never knew what I was doing on madden either defense wise

 

[seanjohn21276]

I learned from playing Madden, watching it and playing it in high school

 

[Formerly known as...]

Madden and just watching it.

It's mad frustrating when you know it's cover 2 or a certain blitz, coverage yet the QB don't and fukks it up! Specially when they're paid to see and know this shyt

 

[FloorGeneral]

Not to sound cocky, but I'd bet that I know more than most ppl on this site. I read up on it as much as possible, and stay studying shyt. It's what makes listening to most of these ppl calling the games so hard, cause for the most part they have no clue.

And FYI, you can't determine if it's man or zone by sending someone in motion. That's straight Madden shyt.

Nope not at all i don't watch it enough and i'm not focused on the game enough to know it all. Football has never really been my sport anyway i just watch it casually
