A new series we’ll put out each Sunday morning to help get you – not that you needed it – into a football mindset. A basic Football 101 series that will look at a concept or scheme with the intention of making you a smarter football fan.
We focused on the offense last week so we’ll hop to the defense this time. We’ve talked about pattern reading a ton but it’s such an important and complicated concept that it’s always worth revisiting, especially when dedicating a post to the concept. There are a lot of layers to it but because this is “101,” we’ll stick to the basics.
