In Season
Opponents
The same tendency work, pointed at the team you play on Saturday.
Who it is for
Coordinators, analysts, position coaches.
How this is handled today
Opponent prep restarts from a blank page every week. Two analysts chart the same team for two coordinators and produce two pictures that do not quite agree, and nobody has time to work out which is right.
Last year's work on the same opponent exists somewhere, in a format that no longer opens or a folder nobody can find, so a staff pays twice for the same charting.
What changes
The same tendency work as the self scout, pointed the other way and held to the same schema, so this week's picture and the one from two seasons ago are directly comparable.
Where their tendency meets your strength becomes something you query rather than something you argue about in a room.

- Personnel groupings and what they signal
- Where their tendency and your strength intersect
What it reads
