You guys grade film? I trying to find a simple way to grade my guys but at the same time be very detailed. As always thanks in advance!

Im old school. I plug my vhs tape in, sit back with a cold drink and pad and pen and have the remote in hand. I watch the game one time without taking any notes, just watching and getting a feel for it. then I rewind and check assignments on all of our plays both sides of the ball. I get a list of like a million things we get wrong and cut it down to 3-5 things i think we can fix this coming week.
the following day in film session I have a few kids to really target and generally make both positive and negative comments on all of the players but really harp on the theme that causes us to win or lose.
for example, it might be our three techs getting reached , it might be our mike backer getting run over repeatedly because he didnt lift weights.....ever.
or it might be our corners failing to bump while peeking into the backfield.
offensively it might be missed blocks, pad level, poor step on a pull, someone doing a "hit it and quit it" prom block.

I watch way too much film. I coach the OL and DL. I will watch us on defense twice, just looking at my TNT. Seeing who popped up instead of firing out. If anyone was getting manhandled, pad level, use of hands. See how many times we got held without it being called  Offense is where most of my time goes. I will watch the play 6 times in a row sometimes (5 OL+TE) Sometimes i will ignore the backside guys if their block doesnt really matter on a play. But on certain plays like GT where everyone is blocking someone on the playside, or our pass protection, i like to watch each guy individually from the snap of the ball. I have tried watching the line as a whole but it just isnt as good. You cant see exact steps. The biggest problems i try to correct are the wrong steps, pad level, finishing blocks One thing i do that helps when i watch film is chart the plays. I chart ever offensive snap so that when i watch film i know before the play what it is going to be so i know what to look for when i watch film |

1. did you line up in the proper alignment with proper stance?
2. did you react to your keys and/or step properly according to the play called or play run?
3. did you execute your duties fully with proper technique and full effort?

I'm with you - in high school, there are only so many hours in the day. When I coached college though, I graded film in much more detail, focusing more on assignment errors rather than technique. |

We used to break it down on a scale from 0 to 4 in college, with a zero being on that play you more or less won the game and a 4 being you directly lost the game. Ideally, scores average to around 2. A game average of 1.8 to 2.2 would mean you did your job pretty much every play with the kind of effort we needed to have a positive result. An average of 1 would mean you played like Lawrence Taylor against a 100lb Pee Wee team. Coaches would distribute sheets and since we'd watch each play at least 4 times in review, we'd get told what our score for the play was.
As far as on my own as a staff, I try to watch every play as many times as necessary to determine whatever needed applauding or fixing for that play. Could be four, could be thirteen.

I only grade for offensive linemen and I use 2 grades. The first is a simple %. Did you block your assignment. The second is a number ranging from 0-4. 0 being completely screwed up 4 an elite play. The goal is to have a % > 90% and a score of 2.

I grade out offensive line on two things one assignment they get a 0 or a 1 1 for if they picked up the right guy. the second thing is how they carried out their assignment a 0 for bad and a 1 good. When it is done add up and divide by number of plays we strive for the entire unit to score over 80%

I dont think 80% is good enough.
.80^5 = .33. Thats a 33% chance that the play is blocked correctly each play. Add in a TE and it drops to 26%. Thats why I demand over 90%. At 90% its a better than 50/50 at 59% no TE 53% with TE.
I cant help it I'm an engineer by trade. When that 10% is factored across the whole line it makes a huge huge difference.

I'm with you guys as well. We don't give out grades, just watch the film and correct what is wrong and praise what is right. The time factor plays a big part in it and also the film quality is a hurdle to giving a real grade. If I had nice end zone shots where you can see what is going on with every play then I might be more into grading. We have places we play where the box is basically the top row of bleachers so the film isn't always the best to look at. We catch the mistakes we can and make sure we correct them and move on. |
