This book is very well organized. Like most other Books for Dummies I've read, this one also has taught me a few things I hadn't known. Even though I've been playing football for 11 years and have a wide-spread knowledge on tons of high school, college, and NFL bios, events, games, stats, rules, etc. I still learned a few regulations and tactics not known to me before. This book can help anyone learn how to understand the basic concept of the game, let alone if it doesn't help you learn to play the game as well. This book goes through a step-by-step easy to read and comprehensive breakdown of the game football. I think the main reason behind this book being so easy to understand, is that it's combined off the consensus of randomly selected people not knowing how to play or even the basic steps and rules of football, then they're given test trials on the material presented in the book, then writers reviewed the materials that seemed foggy or shady to complete an easier more "comprehensible" book. Ergo, I found this book really easy to understand: especially for those who have never even experienced, watched, and have heard minimal of the game. I also found it appealing to my interest for it is something in my life very serious and it helps me rejuvenate or relax when I'm tired, giving me something to sit down upon and read about such a fascinating sport. Lastly, i highly recommend it because it introduces key concepts like strategy, which everyone uses in life at some point in time, accountability, for players and people must not be there only for themselves but for the rest of their team or family, work, friends, etc. and commitment, for you are what you make yourself and do what your mind and body tell you--if you decide to be responsible and trustworthy among your peers, you can rest assured they will present you with the same respect and dignity that you have presented towards them.Read full review
I bought this book because my teenage Son needed a book to help him improve his understanding of Football. He played his first year last Fall, but some of these boys still dont know the reason they do some things in play or practice.If he reads this book, he will pick up a lopt of knowledge that will help him next season.This book has everything in it and I like it. He will learn about pass patterns and how to be a receiver,which is what he really wants to do and play.I gave it to my Son for Christmas and the vendor gave me a great deal on it.Thanks EBAY !
Book taught me a lot and I am very pleased with what I purchased

This book came in excellent new shape. I got it for a girlfriend who wanted to learn the game. I read through it prior to giving it to her and found it to be an excellent guide to the game filled with Howie's personal experiences. I would highly recomment it to anyone who is interested in learning football and also for those who might already think they know it all.
