review 1: As an athlete this book should be given more credit then its worth! The man Ron jaworski, or as many people in the sports world call him "jaws", makes this book about seven key games that changed the game of football to the game it is today. These games were picked picked throughout the 50 years of professional football that has ever been recorded. This book is definitely a fast read. Once you start you don't want to stop. The books point in tell the complexities of the sport of football is on point. Its almost as if you were sitting at home watching a game with jaws commentating a game but really he is tell you a story on the progress of football. He doesn't go deep into the terminology of the game such as the offensive set up and also the defensive set ups on other tea... morems. Also it is hard if you don't understand the players names from the past and present. The way Jaws talks through the story it as if he is back on the field with his seventeen years of professional football background. When you read the book you see what he sees on the field. It is truly a more detailed an fresh look at where the game of football has come from. As in one part he describe real work as, "when I was a young determined player I would give anything to be the best man on the team an because of this I was". I use this because it shows that he knows the generation we live in now doesn't have this ambition. I believe this book was definitely the best book I've ever read. I mean this because I love the way jaws looks at what this generation of athletes are and what they really could be.
review 2: This was a very good football book. Jaworski does a great job of explaining the strategies of these games and showing how they paved the way for the modern day NFL. A lot of great history and interesting football tactics. He has a very casual writing style which is both good and bad. My main problem was that he often jumped back and forth between referring to players by the first name and their last name. This is fine when he's talking about NFL legends like Dan Fouts, but when he's talking about some random safety from the '60s it gets a little confusing. His diagrams were very helpful also, but I could have used more. less
