The product

The opponent brief

An opponent game plan for your staff, quoted per opponent or per season. It starts with a one-page summary and call sheets, then breaks down each phase with the plays behind every number.

What’s inside

  1. Executive summary

    The handful of findings that matter most this week, and the suggested call for each of your units, with the play count beside every claim.

  2. Call sheets

    Offense, defense and special teams by situation, from 1st & 10 to the 2-minute drill. Each box gives its play and game count, the suggested call and the facts behind it.

  3. Unit pages

    For special teams: every kick, punt and return in the opponent’s season, their alignment from your film, a drawing of their look and the call. Offense and defense unit pages are expanding.

  4. Situations

    Fourth-down decisions by field position and distance, and field-goal range, with every short fourth down listed play by play.

  5. Clips to watch

    When your staff sends cut-ups, the plays behind each finding are listed by game, quarter and clock, numbered to your clips.

  6. Diagrams

    Every example call is drawn, so your staff can compare it with its own call and swap it out.

Built for game week

The brief is built from recorded play-by-play of every game your opponent has played this season, then checked against fixed sample-size rules before anything reaches your staff.

Your staff tells us the opponent and the questions that matter. The brief answers them first.

What the brief leaves to film

  • Formation, personnel, alignment, coverage and technique. Play-by-play doesn’t record them, so we don’t guess them.
  • Called plays. A scramble recorded as a rush is reported as a recorded rush.
  • Predictions. The brief reports what happened and what it could mean, labelled as an inference.

In development

Planned work, not a commitment or a date.

  • Postgame decision review. Fourth downs, two-point tries and clock decisions from your own game, compared against a drive-value model, with the few worth a second look flagged.
  • Your charted data. Tendencies built from the film tags your staff already keeps, held to the same sample-size rules.
