Add in the weekly testing requirements and you held your breath till the day before the game to know if you were eligible to work or not.

What do they send in? Are they preparing you for possible trick plays they might run?

Coaches like to send in plays from the previous week where they feel we missed things or called them incorrectly. Also, they will send in plays for clarifications. Sometimes teams will send in plays from the team they are playing the following week to highlight items they feel the team does wrong.

Alignments, tendencies, problem players...a lot of times you can get tipped off whether a play is a pass or run based on alignments of certain players. Tackles who are slow afoot tend to try to get deeper in their alignment. If I notice a team has a quick DE, that might also cause it too.
How do the DBs react during pass coverage. Are the TEs prone to create contact and push off. When blocking low...do the linemen or RBs also try to grab the ankles or legs of whom they are blocking.
Those are just a few things.
