Post Game Review the Next Day

[packersowner]

A few years ago, I would e-mail my partners the next day if we had a post game discussion that never got resolved, based on what I found in a mechanics manual or rule book. I started to feel like I was holding on to these things too much and that it kind of made me look like an ass if I was sending out the rule book even though I was trying to learn and help my partners continue to evolve. I should also note that I almost always work with different partners and rarely work more than 1 or twice in a season with the same officials.

So this got me to thinking.....

Do you appreciate getting a follow up e-mail to clarify the discussion/ruling/mechanic/etc. or does this just make me look like an overzealous partner?

If, during a post game discussion, a question is left unanswered, I would eventually like to get it resolved.

I am in your boat...I want to learn, so I research and share what I find. I have found that not everyone shares my desire to learn and improve. But I'll continue to be the ass that learns and shares rather than the ass who is apathetically ignores opportunities to improve.

Why are things not resolved in post-game? Don't you have the rules, mechanics and case book with you?

If you find the proper ruling during the post-game and your partners don't believe you / don't allow the issue to be resolved, I'm probably dropping it and getting out.

Why would I expect them to suddenly agree the next day after getting an email from me?

There's likely a play or two I want to discuss in a post-game, but by the next day I've moved on to that night's game.

Unless we walked away from the post-game with what turned out to be wrong, I wouldn't want a follow up email. I can't recall leaving a post game with anything unresolved, tbh.

Post-game review is great, and we sure do it and do it comprehensively as possible. Kinda like the Eagles and their famous "Circle of Fear", as we each take turns expressing a play or two we'd individually like to take another look at, and then offer the same critique about partners and plays we think they might want to take a reflective look at.
The next day and the day or so after is also important because that's the soonest the game video can be downloaded and play clips cut and sent and reviewed and discussed.

I usually just email our supervisor if I can't get a good answer from the books.

He'll bring it up at our monthly meetings.

Most of the time I'll just put my research in my personal post game review in the appropriate area(s)

I just sent an email to my partners after a call last night led to some questions between us. I won't get into it, as it's been covered around here ad nauseum (hence why I knew what the call should be, and made sure it was called correctly at the time).

I had my rule and case books with me, but couldn't find the proper citations. However, I found them this morning and emailed my partners to clarify the call.

I don't like it when people simply tell me "that's what it is" without some explanation as to why. Knowing the "why" is oftentimes more important than simply knowing the end result.
