Sideline Intel

The football tendency app that updates every snap.

Sideline Intel is a free football tendency app for game day. It builds your down-and-distance tendency chart from the plays your staff charts and updates it after every snap, so the answer to “what do they do on 2nd and medium?” is never a guess.

Free for every program. No credit card.

Sideline Intel down-and-distance board with the next-snap readout and the run/pass lean in each cell

Down and distance, live

A 4×4 board of down against short, medium, long and extra long. Each cell shows run or pass lean, plays and average gain. Small samples are faded.

A read on the next snap

“3rd & 3 at OPP 29” and what has happened in that situation so far. Tap any cell for success rate, run direction, formations and the recent plays.

Alerts that watch for you

PREDICTABLE flags at 85% one way on four or more plays, plus alerts for formation lock, play repeats, heavy run or pass, and QB cold streaks.

Two views: the press box and the field.

Coordinator view shows everything: the board, QB stats, ball carriers and receivers, formation tendencies, drive log, red zone, explosive plays and motion. Sideline view is a simplified layout for a phone on the field. Switch between offense, defense or both.

  • 3rd and 4th down conversions by run and pass
  • Last-10-plays trend against the game average
  • Live play feed from every collector

How it works

Set up before Friday.

  1. Request free access and add this week’s game.
  2. Chart the game with the Play Tracker. Formation, play type and gain are enough to start.
  3. Open Sideline Intel on a second device and pick the live game.
  4. Choose Coordinator or Sideline view, and offense, defense or both.
  5. Scouting? Log an opponent’s plays or import their CSV and the same board shows their tendencies.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Where does the data come from?

From the plays your staff logs in the Play Tracker, from any of your collectors. There’s no separate data entry step, and the same calculations power the post-game Play Analyzer.

Can I see an opponent’s tendencies before the game?

Yes. Log their plays into a scouting game, or import their breakdown CSV (including Hudl exports), and the board shows their tendencies by down and distance.

How do I know a tendency is real?

Every cell shows how many plays it’s built on, cells with fewer than three plays are faded, and PREDICTABLE only appears at 85% or more one way on four or more plays.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Sideline Intel is included free with every Hashmarks team account.
