Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
What personnel the offense is in. It could be 12 personnel or 11 it all depends on how many running backs and tight ends that are in the game.

I focus on if I am in the right position as far as being inside or outside my man (receiver) in man coverage depending on where the ball is.
