These days, when a football player wants to dissect an opponent's tendencies or techniques, he goes past the clackity old projectors, beyond even the VHS tapes, and straight to digital information. Some are even making the DVDs - which have just recently found a home with NFL teams - a thing of the past. MP3 players, Play Station Portables, and a variety of gadgets and gizmos that increase capacity along with portability are now the hand-held film rooms for professional players. And on some teams - such as the Jets - the quest to deliver the information in a user-friendly package is almost as important as the message itself.
