We are getting read to play for the region championship this week and I've go 8 out of the 10 games our opponent has played this year on film. When you've got this much to look at can you over prepare? Can you out think yourself? I've always heard that you prepare to stop their 3 best run and pass plays, everyone agree?

You can over prepare. Teams change over the course of the year, and that can mean personel, style, and scheme.

Try to watch them in order, get a sense for how they evolved.

Focus most on the most-recent games; use the rest of the film to try to find out what they do against teams with similar offenses/defenses/personnel etc. Also, make sure you sort out all the special teams and gadget plays... if they're in the reperatoire, they only need to get used once to make an impact.

I agree, find the trick plays.

schemes - focus on most recent 3 games
use the others to look at personnel - who is weakest lb, best pass rusher, worst cover guy, etc. offensively, who is best receiver, who do they prefer to throw the ball to on 3rd down, who is the weakest lineman in pass pro, etc.

Agreed on look at last 2-4 games -- and write up a simple scouting report on players by number. You can overanalyze 'tendencies' at the cost of making things complicated and ignoring what players create mismatch problems. Is it really that useful for your players to know they run speed option to the field 62% of the time they run it? It might be more important to know "#25 is a frickin speedster"

As a DC if we're playing somebody we're not familiar with the first thing I want to do is figure them out. I like to watch the tapes all the way through without stopping to break them down the first time. Get a feel for what the playcaller's like. Is he a risk-taker? Does he stay on schedule? When does he like to take a shot (after we score? After a takeaway?) Does he have some type of pattern? How stubborn is he (how much will he change if things aren't working)? Where do their big plays come from? Stuff like that.

I think not only what was said above, stopping their 3 best plays and 3 best pass plays, but also finding out their best plays against certain down and distances. We play a certain team that runs this TE delay route in almost every critical 2nd and long and 3rd and long play, they are very effective with it because they run it out of so many formations. So like above with coach huey, focus on schemes and concepts.
