Hey guys. Little cliche but i'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I wasn't sure if this was the best place to put this but here it goes.. Coming from England the NFL and American football isn't exactly huge over here (although it's getting bigger all the time) and whilst I know enough to get by, partially thanks to American family members and playing a bit at university here, I would really like to learn more about the game.

Other than watching lots of games is there anything you guys could recommend for me to watch, read, study etc? I'm particularly interested in formations/plays, how they work, when/why they are called, strengths/weakness, and how they are combatted - that kind of stuff.

Thanks for your help and keep up the good work, this is a great forum :)

 

Thanks for the response. Madden is actually another reason I want to learn more. I haven't got the new one yet, but the majority of the time I have no idea what play I should be calling - especially on D.

 

Thanks, I was actually looking at getting that- I definitely will now
