That is good to hear since I need simple. I never played football, except for a little flag football. I am a girl, give me a break. These terms float on bye and I don't know what they mean.

This last little informative bit about 3-4 versus cover 2 is far too advanced for me. For instance, perhaps we could start by explaining what the "box" is. I have heard talk of having "8 in the box", but I don't really know what that means. How does 3-4 versus 4-3 work in the "box"?

Please explain the "box" in detail. I need basics here. This is suppose to be football 101 not football 501.

What are gaps? Where are gaps found? Does a gap only refer to the defense or do you have gaps in offense also? It appears that some players have a "2 gap assignment". How many gaps can you add together before something bad happens?

Let's use this as a start. Please define the box and gaps. Thanks.
