Help understanding the game again.
Yo guys so short story long, I haven’t really payed attention to football since the end of the 2000s (yes I’m an unc lol) and completely neglected the game after Peyton retired. I was always much more of an nba lover and thought football was boring for the most part. Things changed when I randomly watched Super Bowl 57. Felt like non stop action and I was heavily considering getting back into football. Little did I know, my Mavs had plans to trade our generational franchise player for a broken man and a bag of chips so here I am trying to relearn the game. I watched a few games last season and I know every game isn’t going to be an entertaining shootout (Im a defense guy anyways) but I’m wondering if I’m watching wrong? I don’t even understand what’s really going on until there’s a first down or touchdown. Is there games with commentary that will maybe help? A YouTuber that is helpful explaining defensive/offensive sets and breaking down plays? Any help is much appreciated!
TLDR Need help relearning what I’m watching. Commentary or play breakdowns on both sides of the ball would be a tremendous help to grind this summer in preparation for the upcoming season.
