Summary: AFootball Dummy Trying to CatchUp
Comment: I found the book to be useful in explaining the types of plays, and the theory behind the plays. It also helped me learn the names and functions of the positions. However, that doesn't translate to being able to tell what's going on when I watch a television game, unless they show replays, especially slow-motion ones.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good Introduction to Football
Comment: My interest in football would come and go, ebbing mostly because it was hard to keep up with the lingo the announcers and commentators kept slinging around. Howie explains positions, formation, strategy, rules and penalties along with the terminology. For now, I have a greater understanding and appreciation of the game. This book is a touchdown for Howie Long!
