American Football Guide

PREFACE
This book was written primarily with a Global audience in mind. American Football games are
now being played all over the world including several NFL games a year in London. I predict the
expansion of American football will continue for many years to come. I titled this book, “Yank’s
Guide” because many folks in the UK and Australia often refer to Americans as “Yanks”.
American Football is “Yank Football” or “Gridiron Football” to many people around the world,
because if you just say ‘football’, most people outside of America will think you are talking
about​ ​what​ ​we​ ​in​ ​the​ ​USA​ ​call​ ​‘soccer’.
**Having said that, I know there are many men, women and youngsters in the United States who
would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​more​ ​about​ ​the​ ​game​ ​so​ ​this​ ​guide​ ​is​ ​definitely​ ​for​ ​you​ ​too!
Bottom line, whether you’re totally clueless or just want more in-depth info to fill in some holes,
this guide is for you. Let’s face it, not everybody knows what a nose tackle or a shotgun
formation is. Yank’s Guide provides simple explanations of how the game works and translates
the various jargon and terms that are commonly used into plain English. You will learn
everything quickly and easily with minimum fuss. If you read any term that you do not
understand,​ ​just​ ​refer​ ​to​ ​the​ ​american​ ​football​ ​glossary​ ​inside​ ​this​ ​book​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​what​ ​it​ ​means.
