If defense is boring then football isn't the sport for you. That's literally half of the game. If you don't like seeing defense, the Harlem Globetrotters are still putting on shows
It's not that simple. Like Pagano said, teams will disguise their 2 high looks pre snap. I suspect the real solution is either more RPOs or these young QBs become way better at post snap processing.
@@davidtyree1543football really can be that simple If those safeties are that far deep, it doesn’t matter who you are, they’re still far away from the LOS to make a play on the run until too many yards are had Those teams with high two high shell are gonna be reliant even more on the front 7 making plays
Not how it works . You can’t give one example of someone showing 2 high off the snap for that exact reason. Check down into short slant or run for 6-10 yards 9/10 times.
Lmfao I am convinced the majority of people who aren’t analyst and just watch sports are smarter than actual sports analyst.. stop handicapping defenses to make offenses look better.
When you know a lot, you can get caught in the weeds about needing to "fix" everything, when in reality, we are just in one side of the ebb and flow of the balance of skill. Evidently, pass defense has gotten much better and now OCs have to figure out how to do better against that defense. The NFL already has 1000x more rules and exceptions than other modern sports, it doesn't need more to bail out people who are paid millions of dollars to play and scheme NFL strategies
@@Acklon Like you said the offense having to adjust to the defense in an era and vice versa is the ebb and flow of the game it’s what makes it beautiful and they are trying to ruin it by making things easier… let the coaches and players adjust the chiefs did and they are three time champs now.
I don’t know what is wrong with people I don’t think there is enough defense, wish defenders could still hit and fly around. Good defense play is real fun.
The NFL draft. No one goes to him for actual analysis of the game because, I mean his take about the safety is awful, and so he needs to find a spot. The draft is where he got noticed and he just took off from there
If there's one thing I like more than a beautiful touchdown pass, it's the stingiest defensive stop. Nay, it's a score that shares it's name with the players being talked about; The safety.
@@blueballedtech If these current trends stay, I could totally see it! I made a joke over the summer that they would debate outlawing certain coverages/offensive schemes, but the fact that could be a reality is scary
So if a defensive formation set challenges these freakish athletic wideouts, and forces the quarterback to make accurate throws into tighter windows than they had to at the college level mean that a rule should force defenses into a vulnerable position to where just any quarterback can dominate. That'll diminish any true sense of accomplishment among anybody at QB if an implemented rule just enhanced your performance drastically with an immediate impact.
He’s not saying don’t play cover 2 or two high coverage he just means the alignment now safeties lineup like 20-30 yards back he probably wants them to start like 10-15 but they just have to get deep after the snap idont agree tho because I don’t think that matters if u run consistently enough the safeties will come down
2 high safety isn't the problem, qb play has significantly downgraded the past couple years, part of me thinks it's because these gms think that rookies qbs should be starting day 1, and also too many qbs have been given too many changes, Daniel jones and DeShawn watson are good examples of that
@@nathanstruble2177 I mean if u can run it 15 yards a carry then do so. But the point is establish a good run game move the sticks and that opens up ways to throw and catch the defense off guard
On Pat's actual RUclips page he has Darius Butler break down cornerback play in a segment called Good D, Bad D. He also has AQ Shipley break down o-line play on Wednesdays called In the Trenches. Coach himself breaks down Thursday night games. Hope this helps!
I knew something like 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 too. Stupid
Mel makes some good points, teams are not folding and bringing 1 safety in the box regardless of how much they are ran against they play the odds of red zone stops, penalties, and turnovers.. OC’s are too afraid of job security to put gameplans to attack 2 high that involve added risk so we get these dink and dunk, bubble screen, gameplans. And offensive lines can’t hold up long enough to attack the deep middle of 2 high
Wow,Tell me you don't understand football without telling me you don't understand football. There are 2 sides to the sport not Just offense, STRATEGY,is what this game is,Tom Brady never had a problem playing against cover 2
non football player here so this is a genuine question lmao. but from my POV, he’s right. that 2 high stuff kinda waters down the game and i get “just run the ball”….would leaving all 5 defenders in the paint in the NBA to protect layups not make the game weak to watch? yea “just shoot jumpers” but like….cmon😂
In much the same way that cramming 5 defenders in the paint would be a losing strategy, the Cover 2 is also a losing strategy, teams just have to actually play the game like they want to win rather than rack up stats.
But deep passes every play would be so much better because why? Sounds like watered down in the other direction... why do you want basketball players to shoot and also drive the paint shouldnt the (deep shot) 3 be the only exciting part instead of boring (run plays) layups. Whos want to see that?
@@SunShine-xc6dh every QB can’t make deep throws. every WR can’t run deep routes. or just straight go routes. every safety can get 30 yards behind the line and just lurk around though. you could grab some random middling athletes off the street and tell em sit in 2 high😂
In all seriousness though what possessed Mel kiper to go on national tv and say something as stupid as banning an entire defensive concept that’s not even hard for high school qbs to decipher🤣🤣
Passing is way down. Mel is right here even though it sounds stupid. Now the game is just pounding the run and throwing short passes. It's been awful to see this season as the whole league goes to deep safety play.
The problem is there is no one in the NFL like Moss, TO, Megatron. True X wideouts. Guys who can punish any coverage. We have talented guys currently but no one on those guys level.
“I used to have a lot of respect for you until I saw that defense you put on tape in Chicago” 😂 one of the funnier segments I’ve ever seen
If defense is boring then football isn't the sport for you. That's literally half of the game. If you don't like seeing defense, the Harlem Globetrotters are still putting on shows
Exactly. Go watch the NBA if you don’t like defense
Or just watch the college games.. which are way more fun to watch than the nfl.
@@williamcowell1889 NFL is 1000x better than College football
@@GreenStrokeHillbilly yeah because yesterdays games were so exciting . 🙄
Without defense it's just catch and that's no game just a leasure activity
Or... people can run the ball when there is 2 high safeties. Just a thought though.
Exactly, when you run successfully teams are forced to bring at least one safety closer to the line of scrimmage.
It's not that simple. Like Pagano said, teams will disguise their 2 high looks pre snap. I suspect the real solution is either more RPOs or these young QBs become way better at post snap processing.
@@davidtyree1543football really can be that simple

They are and have been the run games been making a comeback the last year or 2
Subjective pass interference
Subjective catches
Subjective roughing calls...
And Mel is mad that teams might have to run the ball to earn deep passes?
Why are they allowed to play defense at all? Boring.
Just wait till Kiper sees Cover 3 shell 2 high it's only been around for like 40 years
Looks like it's time to bring back strong O-Lines with running backs and full backs. I'm down for bringing back the ground and pound.
Yesss.
Boston Conner looks like one of Belichick's sons.
First class improv by Ty. Can only imagine the things he holds back from saying 😂
They should invest in a wig for these bits. It's not Mel without the insane haircut.
He probably got a haircut recently and couldn't slick it the way he does when he knows to prepare (draft spectacular)
Man broke out a Gus Frerotte 😂
That Mel impersonation is beyond SNL quality
The worst generation of QBs to ever play the game are ruining the game, not 2 high safety.
Such a funny segment! Thanks for the laugh guys!!
Mel Kiper Jr. also thought Patrick Mahomes was a horrible pick for the Chiefs.
In his defense he had a losing record at Texas tech if I'm correct. Also his coach was a pretty boy and played a conference no one played defense
he also thought the same of the legion of boom
Just make the defense play with only 10 guys if you want to see more offense.
I’ll stop watching if cover 2 gets banned
Same here
This applies to cover 4 & cover 6 as well, since they’re all two high safety shells. But I 1000 % agree
Lmfao I am convinced the majority of people who aren’t analyst and just watch sports are smarter than actual sports analyst.. stop handicapping defenses to make offenses look better.

Game is already stacked against defenders. Let them have a few yards.
“Purdy jacked the ball off”
Personally, I like seeing the resurgence of Kamara and JK Dobbins.
I don’t know what is wrong with people I don’t think there is enough defense, wish defenders could still hit and fly around. Good defense play is real fun.
How is Kiper even relevant anymore.
The NFL draft. No one goes to him for actual analysis of the game because, I mean his take about the safety is awful, and so he needs to find a spot. The draft is where he got noticed and he just took off from there
Still waiting for Mel to live up to his Jimmy Clausen promise
You know for a guy who watches guys play football for a living, you’d think he would understand the Xs and Os more
Mad Mel is my spirit animal
Nice to see Mel back now where is donny Don Don in the rumor mill!!! 🏭🏭🏭
The fact this gold is 9 days old with only 38k views is proof of something.
The little head shake before he talks with the mouth movements is literally perfect by mad mel
The NFL will look into this too if the lack of passing TD’s stays on this trend. Casual fans are ruining the game.
If there's one thing I like more than a beautiful touchdown pass, it's the stingiest defensive stop. Nay, it's a score that shares it's name with the players being talked about; The safety.
“Casual” fans ruin every sport
@@dsz2448 I concur, because football isn’t the only sport with ongoing rule changes favoring the offense
I'm not sure if this is trolling, but part of me is a little scared that the NFL might consider this.
This is crazy!

Someone suggested Mel should propose CB's have to tie their shoe laces to each other on every 1st down to make it fair from his point of view
Nah the quarterbacks will still strut around like they’re the second coming of Brady and Montana combined 😂😂😂
Mel: don’t draft a running back
Also Mel: we need to ban 2 high safeties
The best way to beat cover 2 is RUN THE BALL
Mad Mel needs his own daily show on ESPN.
He’s not saying don’t play cover 2 or two high coverage he just means the alignment now safeties lineup like 20-30 yards back he probably wants them to start like 10-15 but they just have to get deep after the snap idont agree tho because I don’t think that matters if u run consistently enough the safeties will come down
Mad Mel Kills it Everytime. Lol
I love it
Why does Mel feel bold enough to even say something like that. Never played a snap of football. 😂
I like Field Yates just smiling and trying not to laugh and Mel going on his rant 🤣😅 he poked the bear and he knew it... shataht
2 high safety isn't the problem, qb play has significantly downgraded the past couple years, part of me thinks it's because these gms think that rookies qbs should be starting day 1, and also too many qbs have been given too many changes, Daniel jones and DeShawn watson are good examples of that
Qb play is so bad because everyone has excuses for them being bad and and a lot of getting qbs who's feature skill set isn't passing the ball...
They need to have Mad Mel on First Things First 🤣
Or build a strong run game and open up play action from that…
Yeah, just run the ball for 15 yards a carry if they're gonna give you that much space
@@nathanstruble2177 I mean if u can run it 15 yards a carry then do so. But the point is establish a good run game move the sticks and that opens up ways to throw and catch the defense off guard

I think he be ok with it. I mean mike ryan from the Dan Le batatd show does a good mel kiper as well
@@herecomesdatrain yeah i think he will love it ill have to check that one
hilarious segment
My 2nd time watching this already, can’t get enough of mad Mel. Especially when the e real Mel has such a mad take.
Are there any YT channels that break down film like this?! This was great

@@jddavidson4 ABSOLUTELY! man thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Sure outlaw two high safeties. But only if you outlaw wrs touching n initiating contact with wrs

I'm more impressed by Mel's influence than anything. Everyone is talking about this.

Remember.. this doesn’t just mean outlawing cover 2. It applies to cover 4 & cover 6 as well, since they’re both 2 high safety shells
Dumb take!! How about get good !
Priceless
I think it’s time for the real Mel to retire. It’s a simple fix to the problem… RUN THE BALL
Gus Ferrotte LMFAOOO
Mel is the result of someone who’s never played the game but starting to believe his own hype
Mel kiper is a joke. Just retire
11:29 Woah woah, you got too much dip on your chip there lol
Yeah let's just put more rules in place that helps the offense its not like we have more than enough already
Even if you ban 2 high 9:50 will defeat that rule
Mad mel is eating good
You can’t out pizza the hut
Lmaoooo hilarious segment
Spot on😂😂😂
The dude on the left is definitely 💯 on some speed or something 😂😂.
If 2 high safeties was such a problem, why’d the Saints score almost 50 on the Cowboys despite playing 2 high safeties most of the game?
Mel makes some good points, teams are not folding and bringing 1 safety in the box regardless of how much they are ran against they play the odds of red zone stops, penalties, and turnovers..

ESPN cut Todd McShay and now Mel is going wild
I've been waiting for the 5 banana rule before rushing the passer. It's only a matter of time.
This is great 👍🏾
Mel just stick to college ball then. 60-21
Wow,Tell me you don't understand football without telling me you don't understand football. There are 2 sides to the sport not Just offense, STRATEGY,is what this game is,Tom Brady never had a problem playing against cover 2
Or, ya know, adjust to the game.
Dumbest take ever by Kiper
The fact that I was listening to this a really thought it was Mel 😂
At first I wanted to say WTH is Dan Le batard doing on ESPN lol
Mad Mel always have me crying
Mad Mel is the best Mel
There’s been 2 safeties in the NFL for decades. This isn’t arena football. You need 10 yards in 4 plays. Not far. Get it done
Mel kiper needs to be fired immediately for this

It's also on the QBs. A lot of the rookies are just being thrown out there, without any development.
@@gregoryfuller9736 not saying it can’t happen ever now. Just that there isn’t a current receiver playing today on their level.
