question regarding redskins game tapes

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

i was wondering (and god knows why) how these teams get game footage (like actual good game footage so you can see everything) and if there was anyway to obtain copies of the 16 skins games this season. is there some hacker website that sells bootlegs of the games, or is there somewhere i can get this stuff? any ideas are welcome, thanks guys.

you mean coaches film?

a DVD on every team, with every angle we don't get to see, is delivered to every team, every week

now can fans get their hands on this? I've heard no, they are available only to the teams, and I've also heard they are way too expensive even if one of us did want to buy em

Fans can get copies... if you have a boatload of cash. It's simply not affordable to the casual fan.

I have a buttload of cash, one time I stuck 10 dollars up there but I think I could fit alot more....

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

that sucks. i wonder why its so expensive just to get like aerial views of plays from a camera? pretty lame.

how much is "a boatload of cash". like 20 bucks per tape? or 200 bucks per tape?

Give them time.

When someone figures out that they can actually sell game review tapes and make enough money...

I would LOVE to be able to see that stuff, but many coaches and many players would HATE it. Imagine the press conference;

"Coach, it looks like Brandon and Randl El and Cool and Clinton and Ladell and Rock and Patten and James were all open by a step or more on that one play in the third quarter. Any reason why Mark threw it to the popcorn guy? He was definitely not even looking."

thats what im talking about. id love to reveiw game tapes just to see what our problems/strengths are. obviously im not a coach, but that kinda stuff interests me. this is why baseball is so much easier to dissect, you can see everything.

Around that range $200-500 per tape (if I recall correctly).

I called NFL Films about 2 years ago asking for it. I was surprised when I heard the cost... but you have to take into consideration that that NFL owns the right to the films... and they aren't in the business of selling them directly to fans. They're not in that market.. and they don't particularly want to be.

That's why you don't see individual games (back from 1930) for sale - at least by NFL licensed outlets

They'd really rather not sell... so if they have to... they're going to charge you for it.

yeah i wouldnt pay upwards of $8,000.00 to watch the redskins get drilled 16 times from different angles. itd probably make me cringe even more. although still, id love to get my hands on some of that stuff.

You honestly don't think someone in the NFL has thought about that? Trust me. It's been brought up already I was told by Redskins employees that Dan Snyder has already inquired.... and he was rebuffed. And he can't do anything about it... because the league owns the rights.

All we can do is shrug our shoulders... and wonder why the heck they'd rather sit on the gold mine.

because they dont want to see threads like this:

"if you thought kenny wright was bad on Fox broadcasts, take a look at this!!!"

You got me there! I guess I meant to say "Make enough money to overcome everyones objections..."

Man, I remember seeing the Browns and Kosar at RFK last century and I was up high enough and at a good angle to see really well the separation receivers get from defenders and I learned that an offense really cooking with a solid qb and receivers is unstoppable if the qb has passing lanes to get rid of the ball.

Thing is, we'd need to know the calls and the scheme to know what a given player was supposed to do on a given play and the learn the adjustment reads and then...!!!!

It would be cool though just to be able to zero in on guys.

Think about this; with the information age being what it is, the Redskins could have 50,000 extra coaches and scouts breaking down film on free agents! The key would be some sort of collating and sorting matrix so that input was usable and reference-able.

Before long it could be common knowledge what players go hard on every play, what players make alot of mistakes, what players react well or poorly. Hell, the TO's of the world would be forced to shut the hell up unless they were truly playing as hard as they could all the time!

Coaches would never have to be the bad guys again!

:laugh: Rotflmao! I agree. Don't think I'd want to spend that money seeing us lose 10 games.

Amazing original post - I have always wanted access to these kinds of tapes, too. I will follow up with NFL Films and see what their current asking price is....
