Mel Kiper suggests Two High Coverage be outlawed so NFL avoids becoming boring to watch.

But wouldn’t it just make people miss more shots. Or make the best placekickers more valuable. But not impact the actual play

They need to move it back far enough that more teams regularly consider going for two.

First, it’s a dumbass take and anybody who has watched football as he claims to should be slapped for saying something like that. The underlying thing he’s saying is casual fans don’t like smart football that isn’t flashy. If you want flashy plays all the time go watch CFB.

So they still need a run game in the NFL

It's all cylical, nothing is new, and everything comes back around. Been watching the NFL for over 40 years, it's still just football

 

[Braman]

The only regular show I watch is the Get Up and he used to be good. A rare straight forward legit sports brain without the fukkery

But clearly ESPN is desperate and instructs their talent to stir the pot. So now this ngga is the worst. Every minor sports take he hypes it up like a fukking carnival showman.

I was talking about Greenberg here but yea. They’ve been corrupted.

Klint Kubiak doesn't have that problem

Who Dat!!!

I agree. If you become a below replacement level hitter because they put the SS in shallow right field, you are not good enough to be in the majors.

Exactly, if folks moving slightly to the left or coming closer to the infield throws you off that much go back to the minors

I know this is a football thread but the philosophy on hitting is different in baseball. It's all about launch angle and getting the ball in the air. Hitting to get on base isn't a priority anymore. Teams want HRs.

To illustrate this point, the number may have changed but as of a few days ago, there were only 8 hitters hitting over .300 in the entire league with enough at bats to qualify.

Tom Brady was right. These new QBs can’t read a basic defense that’s been around for decades?

 

[NYC Rebel]

I give my squad (Lions) a lot of credit for one of the few places that is still teaching. Drafting projects, not expecting them to contribute and just developing them. That's the best model. It's what Philly did with Jordan Mailata, and they have a great o-line coach like we do.

Coaches get fired too frequently for that type of patience

It’s not basic defenses. It’s different.

 

[Bigwhite2498]

God awful dog shyt take.

Tell OCs do the job they're paid for. Shyt been in existence since forevere mf

Tell coaches at both the college & pro levels to start developing QBs better to beat it...

Not to mention it's so much bad OL play that mfs can't even stay upright long enough to try & dissect it

O line play is the players fault they wanted this

 

[Copy Ninja]

Why would they ask Mel how to solve a 2 high safety defense. ESPN is such a shyt network

Tampa 2 has been around forever. We played that in High School in the 90s.

 

[NYC Rebel]

The fact that play action was employed for that play to be a success shows everything as far as why the threat of A competent running game is the best thing to kill these two high safety shell defenses

Yeah you don't have guys like Pete Rose or Tony Gwynn any more

O line play has more to do with these garbage spread offenses
in college

 

[billsburydoughboy]

lmaoooo.. OF FUHKING COURSE MY TEAM THE ONLY TEAM THAT CANT USE IT PROPERLY

Lmaooo riiight! Using this as a prime example to beat it when it’s just incompetent safety play. I told myself I wasn’t going to cheer for this team no more and yet here I am.
