Newbie asking for advices

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

German fella here and pretty much new to american football. Was never addicted to this sport, which suddenly changed. 

It is hard to get into everything if you have no idea about rules, strategies and gameplay. Recently watched the combine and nfl network frequently. Thats where my intrest came from.

However even with no clue about the sport, it is possible to become a sympathizer and I like the panthers :-). So a few days ago I bought a NFL gamepass and I think the best way to understand anything is to massivly watch and learn. So I am currently watching full replays of season 2018 (mostly Carolina). 

I struggle a bit in understanding gameplay decisions and penatlies.

Do you have any other advices to get into the basics and further on?

I highly recommend Pat Kirwan's Take Your Eye Off The Ball. It was incredibly informative and easy to digest, making it a great starting point for both fans new to football and those that grew up with the sport imo.

Charlotte is a Partner City of my hometown guess that's how the spark Jumped over. And I recently watched a lot of Games and yeah as I thought that is the best thing to do. It is really insane how another Sport beside Soccer caught my intrest. Looking forward to get tickets for London Games:)

    • Even if you concede that Bryce gets better as the season goes on you cant have a QB that just surrenders the first 2 games and the next 4 or 5 are iffy
    • I understand very clearly that Wilks’ approach in ‘22 wasn’t going to make us able to beat the better teams, but he got us competing and succeeding against the teams we should beat, similar teams to us. And it felt the best any stretch has felt, under Tepper.  But Tepper and the mob here had to have themselves the Offensive Minded HC, play caller guru. How’s that working out?    I know this: guys in the locker room were all about Wilks. He equaled or bested the win total of every other coach under Tepper before or since. It is a fact, and not for nothin.    FWIW I didn’t think he was gifted as a DC, when he was here as the DC. But he was excellent coaching DBs. All those jobs are different I guess, take different skill sets. I think his strength as a HC was getting people to follow him. That goes a long way.  After what has befallen this team since rejecting him, I don’t feel like a lesser fan for supporting him, I promise you that. 
    • Since you also posted the Denver game, worth pointing out thumbing do anything for three quarters after the first drive until Denver went into garbage (Bryce) time.  They got a meaningless late touchdown to make it a 14 point and give Bryce some yards.  Since we’re moving into superlatives, they weren’t competitive at all in that game.  and Bryce also got complete outshone by Bo Nix and anyone with pride would retire after that.
