As my Defensive Coordinator Rashad Watson would say, it often all tells a story and i use this to my advantage when I’m playing to enable me to play faster and put my self or teammates in position to make plays off predictable opportunities. I also look at opposing team of who I am studying to see what worked and didn’t work for them.
