I'm in college, a freshman, going to school for Coaching next year at Uconn (hopefully), and I'm going to try to get a volunteer job at a high school in the area for the summer / fall. I have maybe 5 or 6 New York Giants football games on my TIVO and I tried "grading" linebackers in certain games, but can someone explain to me how to break down the tape, or have a link to give me directions? I just need to know how to start. Thanks very much.

I think it would be hard to grade a position or a group of a different team if you don't know what they've been taught, what the call is, etc.
I know that I shared film with one person who told me our Mike backer was running a zone dog wrong, but he was running it as we taught it, which we got from the college staff we visited, who in turn got it from Tampa Bay. So I think if you don't know the total scheme and call, could be tough to do.
I used to prefer grading on a 0-3 schedule with a 3 being very rare. I've since found that I like grading on a +/- schedule and dividing the number of plus scores by total plays they had. That gives you a percentage which most high school kids can easily associate with since they are being graded on scales every day.
Finally, and I believe this is most important, you can't grade a person down for doing something that wasn't thoroughly taught. Yes, the linebacker SHOULD have done this, but was it expressly taught? If not, I don't think you can grade that down. If you never play a team that runs trap and thus never teach your LB how to play it, and then in week 4 someone runs it on you, he does it wrong, and it's a long TD run, you can't give him a zero for playing it wrong because you never taught him to do it right. You can only grade what you teach. If too many of those things come up, you need to teach more.
My opinion.
