It's an easy surveillance job and my subject is not moving. And No, I won't miss if they go somewhere, technology is helping me on this one.

There are all kinds of different types of offenses and defenses. Within each style there are so many different formations a team will use to give all kind of looks then the different plays a team will run within each set which often change before the snap as the offense is reading the defense and the defense is reading the offense. Coaches come up with a gameplan based on what the other team likes to do & where they matchup best at.(a team could have be inexperienced in or not very good like when a QB attacks a corner).

I like it when a team sets up the other team like a draw when the defense is playing back or playaction when the defense is playing the run. I like the NFL because the defenses are great at disguising their coverage like sending safeties to the line but fall back in coverage or even Dlineman dropping back in coverage. I think most of the time defenses run the opposite of what they are showing but this where a DCoordinator can set up the offense by bluffing.

Then threre is the gameclock, down & distance, score strategy.

The U.S. team is amazing! And no animals are harmed, if you don't count their pre-meet satanic ritual sacrifices. Okay, I just made up that last part.
