Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on or look for?
When I’m studying film, I’m focusing on not only the Wideout, but the Quarterback as well to see if he’s going to stare down his target before and during the play. I’m also looking at how lazy the wideout is, the body language will tell you a lot. Also, I’m paying attention to splits on the field and what part of the field they are in to see what that player’s favorite routes to run from that area. While studying film, I also pay attention to personnel groups and formations.
