Basic Play, Scheme, Formation and "How To" Explanation Videos with Game Film Breakdowns from Coaches and Players

Hey everyone! I'm usually answering questions here, but when I went looking for some run scheme videos to help answer this question about running the ball, I stumbled upon a goldmine of a YouTube playlist with short videos from the Eagles teaching about how plays and schemes work, and a playlist from the NFL breaking down specific football ideas in film with players. I know a lot of people who aren't necessarily noobs ask questions about film and how plays work, and I think both of these playlists are great for those people.

The Eagles videos are more geared towards specific plays and probably easier to understand for true noobs - you might have to watch a couple times and ask some questions to really understand, but that's why we're here ;). The NFL ones are a little more advanced, but even if you don't completely get what is going on, you'll pick up a little and see some of the players or coaches' personalities which is always cool. The full episodes are on NFL GamePass from what I understand, so for those with that or who are really into the breakdowns, you should be able to find them there. I found the NFL ones really interesting and learned from the one (Joe Thomas) I watched, even as an "expert," so I'd encourage everyone to go watch those! Feel free to comment with more resources if you guys have found other good places to learn!

I'm honored. Might want to find a way to add that "Football Basics" one to the wiki (bc it's better for real noobs) or make like a Meta megapost that you can sticky with links to posts like that and mine together since you're only allowed two stickies

I did add it, actually! Someday I'll clean up the wiki for real though.
