This summer, NFL Films' Greg Cosell will be doing a series of posts for Shutdown Corner taking a deeper look into the finer points of football, explaining how fans can look for the subtle nuances that make the game so interesting beneath the surface.
On Sundays, I usually just watch games without taking notes or looking at schemes or searching for details about why plays did or didn't work. I just watch casually. And I know most people watch games that way, and that's great.
But I also love when I come to the NFL Films offices on Monday and start to look at the coaches film to unlock why certain plays worked or didn't, and what makes players successful or not.
