NFL.com is bringing fans even more innovative ways to get closer to football anytime they want and anywhere they are.
  
In a release from the league office, for the first time, Coaches Film of every play from every game will be available to fans through NFL.com’s Game Rewind and Game Pass products. 
 
Two exclusive camera angles, “All-22” and “High End Zone” views, will be available for every play in 2012, as well as every play from the archived 2011 season.
  
The "All 22" camera is positioned high above the NFL playing field and shows a view of the field that includes all 22 players at the same time. This All-22 camera view may be used to analyze all plays and players on any given play in a game.
  
The High End Zone camera is positioned on either side of a field, high above  the goal posts and behind the end zone. This camera angle shows what the play looks like as game action is happening coming toward or going away from the end-zone camera.

NFL.com also is introducing a telestrator function enabling fans to "channel their inner Mayock," analyzing plays by drawing over a still frame with a touch of a finger and then sharing their commentary with friends. The telestrator feature is available exclusively with the NFL Game Rewind and NFL Game Pass tablet apps.  Each app is available as a free download and lets fans take their Coaches Film and telestrations with them wherever they go.
  
In addition, for the first time, the full suite of NFL.com’s subscription products will be available for iPad and select Android tablets starting this season.
  
NFL Game Rewind delivers to fans in the United States every play of every 2012 NFL Regular Season game online in HD and commercial-free, complete with DVR controls (after the game has aired on television). NFL Game Rewind also provides archived games from the 2009 season to present day.
  
NFL Game Pass offers fans outside of the United States every Regular Season game live or on-demand online in HD.  NFL Game Pass offers full DVR controls to let fans pause, rewind, and replay live and archived game action. NFL Game Pass also provides archived games from the 2009 season to present day.
  
Last year, NFL.com introduced the “Condensed Games” feature to both Game Rewind and Game Pass allowing fans to watch every play, plus select replays of the biggest moments of each game in approximately 30 minutes.
  
In addition, NFL Preseason Live enables fans in the United States to watch live and on-demand NFL Preseason out-of-market games. Preseason Live gives fans additional viewing options including picture-in-picture, dual and quad view modes, so fans may watch multiple games on the same screen. Fans may pause, rewind and replay live and archived game action with full DVR controls. The Condensed Games feature will also be coming to Preseason Live this season, allowing fans to watch any preseason game in roughly 30 minutes.

(Note: NFL Preseason Live does not include Coaches Film or telestrator option).
