I intend to provide correct credit to all sources of media I use in my projects; Sadly though, most times it is extremely hard or near impossible to find the original source of say a 5 second clip I used. So, if I used your media in my project without credit, contact me and I will make sure to credit you!

Absolutely love your 101 videos. You don't just explain what the concepts are, but also the reasoning and intuition behind them. Would love to see a follow up one on d-line fronts and run fit. Keep killin' it man!

[@ChalkTalkFootball]

Thanks for the watch and kind words!! I’ll definitely add those vids to the list!

[@gezaradimeczky306]

Hey! I am relatively new to football (grew up on the other side of the Atlantic playing the ball shaped football) but your videos are really fun and they are super useful for me. I would love to see some content about WR alignments, different receiver roles and route concepts. Keep up the good work!

[@ChalkTalkFootball]

Have you checked out my pass concepts video yet? I’m not exactly sure if that’s what you are interested in but let me know if that is what you are thinking about or if you want something a little different! Thanks for watching!

[@gezaradimeczky306]

@@ChalkTalkFootball yeah, I have seen it, that us what got me going:) I am thinking something similar but a bit deeper than the 101 version. More analysis on what is it good for and how defenses counter it, more advanced stuff involving 12 or 22 personnel or H-backs or motion idk... Or maybe the use of WR packages and alignments' use in different scenarios, against different defenses... Something like that.😉

Watched all ur guide videos and they helped me start watching football. A fun name for ur series can be football 102 as its more in depth than all the other videos but are still watchable by absolute beginners like me

[@MesksFNM]

totally agree. I’ve been trying to find videos that explore the coverages and schemes deeper but I can’t find any.

[@ChalkTalkFootball]

Which coverages specifically? What exactly do you wanna know?

[@ChalkTalkFootball]

I love that you like the videos! That’s exactly what this series is for: an intro beyond just the rules! Also, I love your idea for the name and actually have been thinking about for a week now. My only worry is that if I name it 102 people might think they need to watch a 101 first… and I’m already multiple videos deep. Love the idea though! Might come back to that name for something else in the future…

Phew, scared me there for a second. glad to have you back

[@ChalkTalkFootball]

Glad to be back. However, I will say that I currently do not have a plan for a consistent, constant upload schedule. Due to other ventures, I don’t have a lot of time for this channel. So, since I can’t make a ton of videos, let me know what you want to see the most! Whenever I can make a video I want to make sure it is what the audience wants most! Thanks for watching!

[@mjciavola]

I'd be interested in the rest of the coverages.
