2 high safeties is the current meta defense but it will change as soon as teams start to run the ball well. Then teams will have to change their defensive scheme to defend the run and then that will be the meta. Offenses and defenses always evolve. No reason to force change.
They’ve been playing 2 high safeties since the 60’s and 70’s in the NFL y’all are out of your mind! These Quarterbacks simply don’t know where to go with the football ball when coverage gets cloudy. Most new era QB’s can’t consistently get through progressions as well. They also lack accuracy and anticipation. The lack of big plays down the field in the NFL Literally has nothing to do with defenses running different types of 2 high looks.
@@JACPOT3rdddplaying 2 high safeties isn’t the problem. Neither are the qb it’s just the defenses are really good and the athleticism is over the top. The athletes are coming in a lot faster n bigger. The game is way different a qb like stubach would be hurt in today game.
If you abolish 2 high safeties, then you are getting rid of an instrumental part of Cover 2 zone plays. I mean, sure there are some teams who have the personnel to play Cover 2 Man, but that is very few and far in between. In man to man coverage, your team gives up way too many completions, and the defensive backs have to rely on speed and knowledge of the receivers’s routes. They also must be very disciplined and make the correct judgement calls. Besides, if the offense is allowed to evolve their concepts into a pass happy league, then what is the issue with the defense evolving to try to catch up with the offense?
You’re getting rid of what makes football, football. Such a stupid and outlandish take. Wouldn’t surprise me if the NFL debated it too if offense & passing touchdowns decrease. Casual fans are destroying the game
yeah, all these dudes want to do is say cover to defense has ruined the league no it's not it's actually because the quarterbacks are actually worse than ever before. They can't even do a full field read anymore. There's so many ways to be a high coverage. it's absolutely ridiculous that this man made such a statement and I agree with you. I don't get how it's a problem
Way better idea: Allow CBs to be more physical with receivers in the secondary and soften PI rules. That way, DCs don’t have to sit in Cover 2 all the time and can play more coverages plus you’ll see more competitive plays between DBs and WRs. When you take away physically from the game it becomes 7on7.
Exactly they only bring so much safety help becuase a corner can’t do a lot 1 on 1 without getting flagged despite going against an athletic freak unless he’s an established superstar and even then the refs are ready to make the call in the offenses because the QB and WR complain so much
@@randymarsh6931 … No contact rule has been bad for football … DB’s are flagged so easily like you said, it’s ridiculous … It’s not a concussion issue either it’s a we want more offense issue … NFL competition committee has hurt the game over the years …
The hell with every fan that loves the run game or watching defense. That's what he's saying. Just shit on half the fan base to play football he likes.
I knew this was coming 😂, and it’s exactly why the NFL is going to be unwatchable in the future, because you have too many people that think the league isn’t ‘aesthetically pleasing’ enough, prompting them to make ridiculous suggestions like this, which will cause the NFL to look at changing the rules to cater to the offense even more. You’re taking away what makes football, football, only to appeal to the casual viewer. Only a matter of time before they debate banning running plays. Stupid
@@BruceWaynesFactoryuntrue and absurd. Teams can still run but they don't because they want to be flashy. It's not a a freaking requirement to throw like it's some business memo.
He made no sense but I like how he brought up how offenses can get penalties easier on run plays. This is the real net negative to 2 high safeties. All the other negatives to 2 high mel talked about, the guys in studio humbled him quickly. when offenses pass it’s likely defense will get the penalties when they run it’s more likely offense will get a penalty
Quarterbacks today are more athletic, no longer just pocket passers. Defenses are also faster than ever, making it tougher on offense. With a shorter preseason and longer regular season, teams aren't in top game shape by Week 1 since no one wants to risk injuries in preseason.
@@beazy3364 A. Teams have been playing cover 2 like this for multiple years. He had 4500 yards passing last year. B. They had a 3 TD lead early in the 3rd quarter on Thursday which included a Defensive TD. The Bills were purposely chewing up the clock for the remainder of the game, especially after Tua went down. It's not like he didn't throw because Miami was stopping the Bills offense. Hes completing 70+ percent of his passes. He had a 33 yard connection to Ty Johnson.
7:50 What irritates me is this is an age old thing in football. ITS LITERALLY WHY TOO PASS HEAVY TEAMS RUN INTO TROUBLE IN THE PLAYOFFS. You want the Safeties to move up? MAKE THEM MOVE
@@XanielMarino … Yep, it’s up to the offense to figure it out, it’s the chess match of football… Mel is an idiot … Defenses are already neutered enough so to hear Mel say this is a slap in the face to the game …
Mel kiper is right. There should be a certain distance safeties can't start the play past. This will make the league more exciting. Imagine the hail Mary pass at the end of the game if the safeties have to run at the start of the snap. Deep safeties have eliminated big plays and force teams to run. Once it's a holding call the possession is killed
Here is another alternative: More teams should start running the ball and throwing underneath more often. That is how you bring the 2 high safeties closer to the line of scrimmage. That way, the offenses can deceive the defenses by calling for a play action/RPO.
… He’s not right !! We already have way too many rules against the defense… It’s up to the offense to adjust not the defense to be neutered! You want all offense ? GTFO …
Pause 1:27. Somebody please muzzle Mel I never pick the right draft picks Jr. You can barely touch the QB, certain tackles have been taken away, kick offs have been changed. Mine as well let the cheerleaders get on the field for a play or two.

Exactly. Teams devalued the running back position and went more spread as a result the defense has gone too more 2 high safety looks.

Lets just get rid of defense all together. 78 - 75 final score!
Two high safety defenses should be outlawed for what Kirk Cousins did to the Eagle's 2-high safety defense alone.

how does kiper still have a job anyways
Cause he's the GOAT at covering the draft
Got everyone thinking... hating, LOL
Remeber, Mel Kiper did not play football.
The hell with every fan that loves the run game or watching defense. That's what he's saying. Just shit on half the fan base to play football he likes.
Mel needs to retire
The Saints have been scoring with two High Safeties! 😂

2 high safeties didn’t help the Dallas Cowboys this week
Mel has never played chess 😅 that’s the whole point of football, figuring it out! There are 11 players on each side on the same size field!
Getting rid of two high saftey just is not fair for defense players.
Or maybe figure out how to attack two high? Mel Kiper sucks
@@PrickFlair … Right ? It’s up to the offense to figure it out not weakening the defense so the offense has an easier time … Mel must hate football
If teams didn’t collude to get rid of the running back, there wouldn’t be 2 high safeties.
They wouldn’t get rid of the running back if their 6th rounder rb did as good as the first rounders in most cases. Defenses can stop the run so easy
And yet theres so many defenses that can't stop the run @BruceWaynesFactory
@@BruceWaynesFactoryuntrue and absurd. Teams can still run but they don't because they want to be flashy. It's not a a freaking requirement to throw like it's some business memo.
@@robertlau8721 who?? Lmao. When’s the last time a team won a superbowl by running lmao.‘I’ll wait:
@@jsm530 you must not watch football lol. Name the last time a team won the Super Bowl being run heavy
Outlaw tackling that’s all that’s left
I love watching Dan get on the screen. He gets so into it 😅
If you get rid of 2 High Safeties, Get rid of the ball being spotted at the place of the foul on Defensive PI calls 😂
So we might as well outlaw running the back postion all together and just make it a passing league. What a joke.
He made no sense but I like how he brought up how offenses can get penalties easier on run plays.

QBs are softer and dumber. Maybe faster but way dumber and can't read defenses and need coaches to literally tell them how to think. Rip
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Stick to your draft commentary for a guy whoever never wore Jock Means a lot coming from you
That 7 yard average through 2 weeks... OUCH!
Might as well just stop playing defense all together at this point🤦🏾♂️
And these oline play this year is terrible
Why play defense with that logic
Josh Allen has no trouble with it. Just sayin.
He threw for like 125 in his last game
