Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
Each week I like to start watching film the Sunday after our games to get a head start on it. I’ll pick two to three games. Then I just watch the full games first to see how everything played out and see how the score got to where it was. Then I’ll go watch for there tendencies in certain formations. Certain route combos on specific down and distances. Also the alignment of the receivers, running backs, and tight ends.
