Want to know where every Chicago Bears player aligned on every play of every game this coming season? The league has a package for that.
NFL.com will carry the "coaches' film" or blimp view camera angle for every regular-season NFL game played in 2012 as part of the league's “Game Rewind” package. It will be available for full season subscription for $69.99 this season for the first time ever.
The NFL said the “All-22” angle was made available because passionate fans were clamoring for it.
It's the preferred camera angle used by scouts, coaches and league personnel in evaluating players, formations and team tendencies -- such as blocking schemes, play-calling charts and statistical analysis, including team-tracked tackle totals.
The video is edited to show only the play, with timeouts, commercials and pre-snap huddles and distance measurements edited out.
Games will be available after the completion of all games in a given week during the regular season.
