Just wanted to share that I got accepted to PFF's trial team.
I will grade a handful of past games to start off. Depending on how well I do, I have a chance to make it onto the full-time team by the end of June.
Wish me luck bbwc πͺπΏ
Update (6/26)
Finally got my first game review back. I scored 70% accuracy when compared to 3 of their master copies for that game. Not bad considering it was my first time. Out of 661 data points I accurately mapped out 463. Majority of my errors were listing a player at DLT (defensive left tackle) instead of NLT (nose left tackle), and LEO (left end outisde) instead of LE (left end). Small mistakes that can be corrected, and the good news is I WILL GET ANOTHER SHOT BECAUSE I MADE IT TO ROUND 2!
Next game is 2019 Week 8 Boise State @ BYU... it is due next Thursday so hopefully I have another good update for you guys then.
Update (6/17):
I finally completed my first trial game. (Michigan vs Wisconsin 2019)
Here's a few things I took away from it:
1. Everyone, and I repeat, EVERYONE is a Hybrid Player on defense now-a-days. You have MLBs playing the slot & safety role, you have boundary corners at ROLB, SS & FS on consecutive plays.... and the Safeties? Everywhere (literally).
2. Michigan's DC, Dan Brown, is a hell of a play-caller. Does a great job moving guys around in different spots. A play that stood out is when they disguised a man look with a man look... sounds crazy right?
Wisconsin's RB lined up out wide, Michigan's LB lined up out wide...
Wisconsin's RB motions into the backfield, Michigan's LB motions into the box at OLB
At the snap::
Wisconsin's RB runs a route into the flat.... Michigan's OLB blitzes at the snap, and the LE picks up the RB in coverage and runs with him into the flats and up the sidelines step for step.Β
It was beautiful to see that executed so flawlessly with minimal communication from my perspective.Β
Anyway back to the PFF aspect. I get graded and also get feedback about my evaluations this week. They will let me know if I made it to Round 2. My fingers are crossed but I think I did a pretty good job. Hopefully they give me a Notre Dame game next lol.
