Its hard to explain, but I think the simplest way is; There is more strategy involved in football than anything, especially on the coaches part. They develop very in depth and articulate game plans for every game, essentially a different play to call in every situation, and the coach is the one who determines that. Than the athletes themselves have remember every single play, which could be anywhere from 30 plays to 500 plays, depending on the coach. So between every play, they have a "huddle" where the play is called in by the coach to the quarterback and then to the whole team. |
It's really hard remembering all the names of the plays and what it does.
Think of this way...you have 30sec and your coach calls the play "Blue 42" (used in every US football movie..LOL). Now you have to get in position and hope all of your teammates understood that call. There are no ifs or buts when your coach calls the play...just do it. Watching it on TV it's hard to understand all the complex things going on. It's a good game though...I love watching and playing it.
