Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
When I study film on myself I looks for the mistakes I’ve made first and what i could have done to not been wrong on that rep, then i look at the plays i did correct and try to figure out how I could have done better or been more of an impact on that play. When I study film on opponents, i look for their tendencies, from how a receiver comes off the line, how a QB releases the ball, all the way up to how a linemen adjusts his alignment when he’s pulling etc.
