More and more football fans are watching the NFL each week, but many of them don't know exactly what they should be watching. What does the offense's formation tell you about the play that's about to be run? When a quarterback throws a pass toward the sideline and the wide receiver cuts inside, which player is to blame? Why does a defensive end look like a Hall of Famer one week and a candidate for the practice squad the next? These questions and more are addressed in Take Your Eye Off the Ball 2.0, a book that takes readers deep inside the perpetual chess match between offense and defense. This book provides clear and simple explanations to the intricacies and nuances that affect the outcomes of every NFL game. This updated edition contains recent innovations from the 2015 NFL season. Review: This book will teach something new to even the most experienced fans - Really one of the best educational books about the game that I've ever read. Pat Kirwan (a dude who's spent his entire adult life in football) does an excellent job of breaking things down and making them easy to understand. His close attention to detail is also something to behold as football is a game of endless variables and schematics. Kirwan has a chapter on each and every position along with chapters detailing the business side of the game (contracts, the draft, player trades, etc.) Diagrams pop up every few pages as he breaks down different plays and formations and really illustrates just how a play unfolds on the field. Even if you're a casual fan or have never really watched the sport, Kirwan's writing is easily digestible. Read this and change the way you watch the game. Review: Be treated like - I am a woman from South Louisiana. We love football and Women here know a good bit about the game and the personnel . My husband is envied by some guys because I am interested and have a grasp of a bit more than the obvious. Reading this book has added tremendously to my enjoyment of the game! , I know and understand a lot more. Now the guys I know are blown away by my understanding of the game and I have actually taught several of them a thing or two! . Watching and understanding who is winning the battles at the line of scrimmage is absolutely key and lots of fun! However I would think it is important to have some knowledge and feel for the game before reading this one. I would suggest starting with Football for dummies by Howie Long and a collaboration with someone else. It is a wonderful book from which to pick up the basics and then some. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,118 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Sports Reference (Books) #9 in Sports Encyclopedias #38 in Football (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,057 Reviews | ## Images ![Take Your Eye Off the Ball 2.0: How to Watch Football by Knowing Where to Look - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714-nINehjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book will teach something new to even the most experienced fans *by G***P on July 4, 2016* Really one of the best educational books about the game that I've ever read.

It is a wonderful book from which to pick up the basics and then some. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but poor editing *by A***R on October 2, 2018* This book is very informative on almost all aspects of professional football from position descriptions/strategies, to scouting, to salary cap concerns, and beyond, which is exactly what I expected and wanted when I ordered it. In that way, it is great. However, there are more than a couple very obvious mistakes that should have been picked up by an editor on review of this book. I started taking notes on the more egregious mistakes that I noticed, but there were also a few that I suspected of being wrong, but gave the benefit of the doubt and didn't note; someone who knows more about football than me could also probably pick out more than this, but here are a few: 1. "Think Randall Cobb or T.Y. Hilton or the two who have filled Welker's old role in New England, JUSTIN Edelman and Danny Amendola." (p.80) Should be JULIAN Edelman. 2. "You could maximize the image of an offensive tackle's foot, then show your defensive line THAN every time this player lines up with his foot turned out, he's setting up for a pass block." (p.198) Probably should be "then show your defensive line THAT every time this player lines up" 3. "Another owner might look at another prospect and decide, 'No way. My wife doesn't me taking a player with any connection to domestic violence issues.'" (p.246) There's an obvious word omission here. It probably should be "My wife doesn't WANT me taking a player" None of these issues ruin the content of the book for me, obviously, but it's a bit concerning to see such easily-correctable mistakes in a book that is published and sold. The grammar mistakes simply seem unprofessional, but completely botching a prominent player's name might cast doubt on the validity of other information in the book. I was able to catch that mistake because Edelman is still in the league, but it makes me wonder if there are mistakes like that on past eras of football that I'm not so familiar with. E: I'm editing this review to attach a picture of page 260, in which a paragraph is just cut off midway through a sentence. I'm not sure if I simply got a misprint or what, but I haven't really seen other reviews mentioning this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Take Your Eye Off the Ball 2.0: How to Watch Football by Knowing Where to Look - The Essential Smart Football - The Art of Smart Football --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/18043671-take-your-eye-off-the-ball-2-0-how-to](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/18043671-take-your-eye-off-the-ball-2-0-how-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
