The hardest thing for me when I started doing FB was that there were 22 guys moving at the same time and what do I look at?

First, learn your keys (what to start watching before and right after the snap).

Then, the big rule: Watch Players Not The Ball. Watch the players in FRONT of the runner. That is where the fouls are. It's hard not to watch the runner when you start out, but you need to break that habit.

Also, it helps to know the classification of fouls within a foul, e.g., The Categories of Holding: Take down, Collar leverage w/restriction, Shirt stretch, Turn and twist, Grab and restrict, Hook and restrict. This will help you know what you are seeing out there.

Try these things and you will surely improve your ability to see the fouls.
