best football book of all time written by this guy: "The Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football".

I had to find an old beaten up copy second hand years ago, I don't know if it's easier to find now.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Mans-Guide-Professional-Football/dp/0671602764 Looks pretty expensive on here

Paul Zimmerman's Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football is a must read for serious fans. He does a step by step breakdown of the adjustments defenses and offenses have made from the start of the game to the 80s. It's a great basic starting point.

It's dated now, but still one of the great books about NFL football: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pro Football by Paul Zimmerman

This book, although old, is full of awesome anecdotes, strategy and technique analysis. Can't recommend it enough.

I would honestly shy away from madden unless you know literally nothing. While you learn what plays are and that kind of thing it really doesn't teach you strategy. It's just nice to know when you play.

Okay, I like the sound of this. What else do you read to inform you understanding?

I'm a relatively old and new again soccer/football fan. I spent my youth watching the NFL, I played American Football in high school and some college. So I got fairly educated on the NFL tactics (3-4 vs 4-3, the changing role of the linebacker in the NFL)

I've found that analysis of soccer tactics in this vein are not as mainstream. So how does one get the same sort of information in regard to soccer/football as they would from NFL football from this book (mind you it's quite old, not necessarily outdated)

The New Thinking Man's Guide to Professional Football. While this is an out of print book from 1985, it's brilliant, still relevant, and very well written.
