I think the best way to learn the game is to actually just watch it.

There is probably a football for dummies type book out there somewhere if you really wanted to read.



this! and you should become a Colts fan that way you can see how a offense should run. in all seriousness the more your watch, the more you will learn..its not that complicated of a game and a lot of the analysts do a great job of explaining...except for Dan Dierdorf....he is just terribad.



There is, and it's even available on google.books and that is even better!

Hey again,

All in all practice is coming along nicely and I do enjoy the game more and more.
We've had an argument in the team us Tight Ends together and we're trying to decide if we should pick one stance and run with it all plays no matter what (pretty common as I understand) but which stance to pick has us somewhat boggled.

2-point or 3-point what are the pros and cons?

PS: We've managed to secure a cinemo to live feed superbowl on Sunday so even thou it starts midnight here I'll be watching

for me, the stance you pick will be determined by what type of offense you are running. If you are a run heavy team, you would be more 3 point stance so you can get into the pads of the defensive player for blocking purposes. A 2 point stance is more for a passing team as it allows you to release into a pass pattern easier.

I personally prefer the 2 point stance for tight ends because if they are quick enough, they can still be effective blockers, they can also block for a second or two then release into a pattern, or you can release straight into the pattern for quick passes.

Either way, picking one stance over the other and being consistent will allow you to disguise your plays better. If they see a tight end down in 3 point stance and they are usually in 2 point stance might tip the defense to a running play. (of course that can also work well as a ploy to draw the defense into attacking a running play when its really a pass)
