Run your franchise like a real front office.

What's inside

Four tabs, one front office

Scout once and it flows everywhere: your reports feed the depth chart, and your notes carry from season to season. Here's exactly what's on every tab, with real samples.

• 01

  Start Here

  Quick start, the grading scale, and a legend for every field so you can be scouting in two minutes.

  • A 6-step setup checklist — name your franchise, set the year, pick your team, and you're live
  • The 1-5 potential scale spelled out in plain language, with what each grade means for playing time
  • A colour legend: blue cells are yours to type in, grey cells calculate themselves
  • A worked example player you can delete once you've seen how a full report fills in

  Sample — grade scale

  5 - Cornerstone

  Build around him. Extend early.

  4 - Starter

  Locks a starting spot within two seasons.

  3 - Rotational

  Useful depth, replaceable.

  2 - Camp body

  Cut candidate unless he jumps.

  1 - Pass

  Don't spend a pick or a snap.

• 02

  Scouting Reports

  One detailed report per player: attributes, dev trait, a 1-5 potential grade, strengths, weaknesses, and your verdict - all with dropdowns.

  • Room for 200+ players, one row each, so a whole draft class and your roster fit in one tab
  • Position-aware attribute columns (speed, acceleration, awareness, block shed, route running, and more)
  • Dev trait dropdown - Normal, Star, Superstar, X-Factor - and an age/experience field
  • Free-text strengths, weaknesses, and a one-line verdict you'll actually re-read in year six
  • Conditional formatting flags any player whose potential grade outruns his current rating

  Sample report - WR, rookie

  Overall / Age

  74 OVR - 22

  Dev trait

  Star

  Top traits

  94 SPD - 91 ACC - 88 Deep Route

• 03

  Roster & Depth Chart

  Type a name and his rating, grade, and verdict pull in automatically from your scouting reports.

  • Full offence, defence, and special-teams depth chart with starter through 4th string
  • Lookup formulas pull rating, age, dev trait, grade, and verdict from tab 02 - no re-typing
  • Contract year and cap-hit columns so you can see the roster and the bill in one view
  • Automatic position-count check so you never walk into a season two linebackers short
  • A holes list that surfaces every spot where your starter grades 2 or lower

  Sample - depth at RB

  RB1

  84 OVR - age 25 - Star - grade 4

  RB2

  76 OVR - age 23 - Normal - grade 3

  RB3

  68 OVR - age 29 - Normal - grade 2

  Flag

  RB3 is a cut candidate - draft or sign depth

• 04

  Season Notes

  A decision log that carries across seasons, so you remember why you cut, kept, or traded anyone.

  • One dated row per decision: signed, cut, traded, extended, drafted, injured
  • Season and week fields so the log sorts itself into a franchise history
  • A reasoning column - the part you forget three seasons later
  • Outcome field to revisit whether the call was right, and a filter by player or season

  Sample - log entries

  Y2 W6 - Trade

  Sent 2nd + LB2 for 24yo edge. Needed pass rush.

  Y2 offseason - Cut

  Aging RB3, $4.1M. Freed cap for OL.

  Y3 draft - Pick

  WR at 41. Graded 4, best on the board.

  Y4 - Outcome

  Edge trade: 12 sacks, worth the pick.

• 01

  Formation Counters

  Every opponent formation mapped to your 1st call, change-up, and blitz option - plus their most dangerous play out of it.

  • Their full formation list, ranked by how often they actually line up in it
  • Three calls per formation: base, change-up, and pressure
  • Their most dangerous play out of each look, and the tell that gives it away

  Sample - Gun Bunch

  1st call

  Cover 3 Sky - buzz the flat

  Change-up

  Cover 2 Invert, drop the hook

  Blitz

  Nickel Double A Gap, spike one

  Danger

  Bunch flood - eyes on the outside release

• 02

  Run Concept Counters

  Gap fits and line slants for the runs this opponent actually leans on.

  • Concept-by-concept: inside zone, outside zone, duo, counter, draw
  • Line slant or pinch call plus the run-fit assignment that plugs the gap
  • Which of their backs gets which concept, and on which downs

  Sample - outside zone

  Front

  Pinch, slant to the tight-end side

  Fit

  Contain edge with the LB, don't crash

  User

  Play the cutback lane, not the ball

  Tell

  Wide split from the H-back

• 03

  Pass Concept Counters

  Coverage calls and the pre-snap tells that give the concept away.

  • Their money concepts listed by frequency, not by theory
  • Best coverage call against each, plus a second option if they adjust
  • Pre-snap tells: motion, splits, back alignment

  Sample - mesh

  Coverage

  Man match with a hook defender sitting

  Backup call

  Cover 6 - take away the sit route

  User

  Play the low crosser, not the QB

  Tell

  Two-man motion into a tight split

• 04

  Down & Distance Defaults

  Your go-to call for every situation, decided before the chains move.

  • A default call for 1st & 10, 2nd short, 2nd long, 3rd short, 3rd medium, 3rd long, 4th down
  • One alternate per situation so you're not showing the same shell every snap
  • Their tendency percentage in each situation so you know what you're defending

  Sample - third downs

  3rd & 1-3

  Goal-line personnel, plug the A gaps

  3rd & 4-7

  Cover 3 Match, rush 4

  3rd & 8+

  Dime, 5-man pressure, cap the sticks

  Their tendency

  Pass on 78% of 3rd & 4+

• 05

  Personnel Grouping Matches

  What to line up against each of their personnel packages.

  • Their 11, 12, 21, and empty usage rates
  • Your matching package for each, with the substitution named
  • Who to shadow and who you can leave one-on-one

  Sample - vs 11 personnel

  Package

  Nickel, big slot on the TE

  Sub

  Fast LB in for the run stuffer

  Shadow

  Their WR1 - bracket on 3rd down

  Leave alone

  WR3 - single high is enough

• 06

  Red Zone Defense

  Calls broken out by yard line, because the 18 and the 3 are different games.

  • Separate call sets for 20-11, 10-6, and 5-goal
  • Fade and corner-route answers plus a goal-line pressure
  • Two-point conversion call, decided in advance

  Sample - 5 to goal

  Base

  Goal-line, press everything

  Fade answer

  Cover 2 with the safety over the top

  Pressure

  Overload the tight-end side

  2-pt

  Man press, user the middle

• 07

  2-Minute / Late-Game Calls

  Clock-aware calls for the drive that decides it.

  • Calls by time and score: up 4, up 8, tied, down late
  • Sideline and boundary rules to keep the clock running
  • When to rush three, when to bring pressure, and when to burn a timeout

  Sample - up 4, 1:40 left

  Shell

  Cover 4 drop, no big play

  Rush

  Four, no blitz until 3rd down

  Sideline

  Squeeze the boundary, force the middle

  Timeout

  Save it - use only to fix a bad personnel match

Includes the pre-game 3-read prep and a 4-step pre-snap sequence so you never freeze at the play-call screen.
