The PBUC red book and blue book are mechanics along with pretty much everything else you could need to know such as what time to arrive at the stadium to the process to signal substitutions to the scorer. The thing is, PBUC writes the books for use by their umpires, there is no equivalent to PBUC in football officiating so there aren't any training materials. I would think the NFL would have a comparable book, but as far as I know it is not available to the public if there indeed is one.
