Format:Taschenbuch
Ich habe dieses Buch verschlungen. Viele interessante Kleinigkeiten machen dieses Buch zu einer Goldgrube an Infos für Football-Fans, die es gerne etwas genauer wissen wollen. Beispiele: Warum schaut der Quarterback nach jedem Spielzug an die Sideline? Wie sieht das übliche Wochenprogramm von NFL-Spieler aus? Wie funktioniert Game-planning?
Wie gesagt, sehr interessant. Jedoch muss ich meinem Vorposter zustimmen, für den normalen Footballfan, der nur mit einem Bier gemütlich ein bis zwei Spiele auf der Couch ansehen möchte, ist dieses Buch wahrscheinlich zu tiefgehend. Sprachliche Verständigungsprobleme sollte es keine geben, da das Buch in sehr einfachen klaren Englisch geschrieben ist.

Pat Kirwan führt uns hinter die Kulissen von NFL-Teams. Äußerst detailliert beschreibt er Spielvorbereitung, Taktik, Fachausdrücke und Abläufe, die essenziell für den Erfolg eines Football-Teams sind. Wer dieses Buch liest, wird die nächste NFL-Übertragung auf jeden Fall mit anderen Augen ansehen.
Das Buch ist nur etwas für wirkliche Football- bzw. NFL-Fans, die wirklich regelmäßig die Spiele verfolgen. Sie werden eine große Freude daran haben und das Buch - so wie ich - innerhalb weniger Stunden verschlingen. Für alle Gelegenheitsfans jedoch, die nur die Super Bowl gucken, heißt die Devise "Finger weg!", denn für Einsteiger ist dieses Buch nicht geeignet.

Succinct and very informative
2. September 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
So glad that I got this book. I never played football myself, being the proverbial 80 lb weakling. But, I love football and try to find cost effective matierials like this whenever I can.
The author assumes that the reader is a somewhat proficient student of the game and doesn't waste time with simplistic explanations of what the positions are called or what the rules of football are. This book is aimed at fans familiar with the game.
'Eye Off The Ball' gives some of the best descriptions of position strategies, player responsibilities, why responsibilities developed the way they did and what attributes are important in the player for a given position. It explains the coaches eye for the game, how fans can misinterpret what is happening on the field and what they should consider as alternative points of view.
Pat is amazingly succinct and there are times that you'll find yourself wishing he had spent more time on a subject. Otherwise, the book is very quickly paced, well organized and will be easy to refer to later.
I feel like I gained some football acumen with this one. It's the best book on football I've read, not to dry and not biographical. I'll be looking for other stuff by Pat in the future.

Fantastic Book for the Football Purist
27. Juli 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a fantastic book if you're a football fan and you want to know more details of how the game is played. I've been interested in football (I love the game) for more than 20 years and was itching to get a better picture of what goes on inside teams. For example, how they prepare for games, what are the responsibilities of the different coaches, etc. This book opens up a whole new level of understanding presented by someone who is clearly an expert and who has the resume to prove it. It has some great tips on just how to watch the game. I highly recommend this book!

Pro football for the layman
6. September 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
While I have never played a down of organized football myself, I still like to think of myself as a Hall Of Fame armchair quarterback. Not sure there are too many people I could convince on the veracity of that objective, but that's beside the point.
Over the past few years, I've listened to the Sirius Radio NFL channel quite a bit. Pat Kirwan is a co-host of the Sirius show called MOVING THE CHAINS. I've been impressed by his football intellect as well as his understanding of the business side of the game of professional football. As a former NFL GM, he was kind of the anti-Matt Millen in the scope of his football erudition.
It's for that reason that I was intrigued to buy this book, and it did not disappoint. While I fully understand the basics of football, Kirwan helped me to see how all the Chess pieces on the field fit together on both the offensive & defensive sides of the ball.
There is a significant gap in the terminology of the game between what the players know & what spectators understand. I will admit that I've learned quite a bit from playing NCAA Football 09 {football video games are WAY more complex and authentic these days than when the 1st MADDEN games came out in the early 90s}. Kirwan's book has augmented my understanding of the terminology to the extent that if I heard Payton Manning spout out a play call I might be able to decipher(!) at least part of what he's saying.
For myself, college football is my game & Michigan State is my team. Pro football uses a great many more sophisticated schemes ~ I get that. Nevertheless, I've found that this book has helped me appreciate the complexity of the college game as well as the NFL. After all, at the end of the day, football is football be it high school, college or pro.
The book also delves into how NFL prospects are rated & why some players are a much better "fit" for one system than another. I used to think that a cover corner was a cover corner until I read this book. Kirwan has illuminated to me that many of my preconceptions were way off the mark.
Reading this book is kind of like listening to your favorite symphony with Leonard Bernstein sitting on your couch pointing out to you all the nuances of the chord changes & musical phrases. Pat Kirwan has done for the football spectator what Carl Sagan did for the layman science enthusiast. Just as Sagan opened up the frontiers of science for all of us to comprehend & appreciate, so too has Kirwan laid bare the nuts & bolts of what epitomizes the game of football. Well done.
