BREAK IT WITH BOYD
ELITE DEFENSIVE SAFETY FILM STUDY WORKBOOK
12-Man Canadian Edition Offensive Identification • Pairing & Matching • Run/Pass/RPO • Tendency Recognition • Self-Scout
WHAT THIS IS
The Break It With Boyd Elite Defensive Safety Film Study Workbook is a college-level defensive film system designed to teach safeties and defensive backs how to study football the way coordinators do.
This is not a highlight worksheet. It is a structured, question-driven companion built for 60-minute film sessions, guiding players through offensive identification, defensive alignment, pairing and matching rules, run/pass recognition, and self-evaluation.
This is how safeties learn to eliminate explosives, communicate clearly, and earn trust.
WHAT IT TRAINS
Athletes using this workbook will learn how to:
Identify offensive structure and intent before the snap
Break down OL splits, TE alignments, backfield sets, and QB behavior
Recognize run, pass, play-action, and RPO using real keys
Understand pairing, matching, and coverage conversions
Diagnose formations, motion, tendencies, and tells
Anticipate and jump routes correctly — not recklessly
Self-scout with honesty using a college / pro grading standard
Translate film study directly to game-day decisions
This workbook teaches players to think in systems, not just assignments.
