#2This is very exciting, as there's a lot of strategy to American football that isn't plainly visible when the camera just follows the ball as it does on television. It's not going to showcase technique very well, but it'll go a long way towards explaining e.g. why some wide receivers are always open, why some players always seem to be in the right position to interrupt a pass, etc. I'd actually find it very interesting to see something like a Coursera course using film from this to explain different plays, packages, etc.
However, I'm not sure it's of wide interest to HN. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one here who likes NFL football.

HN users probably aren't much into football, but they do seem to enjoy finding out about strategy involved in things they haven't thought much about.

I'm interested in this as well, specially being able to see the Tampa 2 defense in action.

#5What I would like is an API to better track players for my Fantasy League. Or a chat feature in the Mobile App to trash talk on Sundays.

"HN users probably aren't much into football"
Why do you think this? Are we too busy cleaning our pocket protectors and playing Dungeons and Dragons?

#7Are we supposed to already know what "All-22 tape" is?

Additionally, why can't we play Dungeons and Dragons and watch football? I heavily enjoy both. Not to mention Fantasy Football, which is a strategy nerds dream, that they can actually play with their non-nerdy friends. Come to think of it, why don't we have HN Fantasy Football leagues?

There is a chat feature in apps (iOS)…it's called matchup smack of league smack or something like that.
