I love football
 

The more I learn about it, the more I love it. I never knew how complex it was. This is the first year that I've gotten into the draft, and it's made it that much more exciting. I so can't wait for the season to start!

Oh, and thanks to those I have driven crazy with questions. You know who you are. I appreciate it.

you have over 19000 posts and been here for 3 years......but this is the first time you've gotten into the draft? what the

quit stalking the women folk

Awesome. This is very cool. Hopefully by this time next year we have you spouting off about the nuances of the Cover 2 defense. :p

ok jeb

I know that a blitz is when more than just the d-line goes for the quarterback.

Cover 2 requires a fast MLB. Still not sure about the specifics of it though.

Yep, good to hear, Luv. I've been a football junkie since 1989, and I learn new things all the time. It really is a great game.

Blitz is where your grandpa has too many jack and cokes and passes out on the couch.

How long have you been watching football?

That would be "blitzed".

In general, about 3 years. I hear people talk about different offensive and defensive plays, but never knew what they were talking about. Finally got people who would be patient enough with me to go over basics like that. This year, I decided to focus on learning more about the draft. It's made it that much more exciting. I want to see who pans out, and how we're going to develop our team.

I had no idea about the Cover 2 and didn't know what a blitz was after three years of watching football.

My wife used to go to the games with me just to watch the players run around in spandex. Then she decided to go out and buy Holly Robinson's book Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game!. The next thing I know, she's talking to me about offensive sets and zone blitzes. I was highly impressed.

If you are looking to expand your football knowledge, you should give that book a try. According to her, it does a good job expaining the game of football in layman's terms.

Oh please.

And I still don't know about a Cover 2. Only that it requires a fast MLB.

I just bought that book a week ago! I haven't gotten too far into it yet, but my schedule is getting back to normal. I'll have it read by next weekend.
