00:00I despise the mindset that office is only supposed to be good.

00:04Right, I'm with you.

00:05I despise that, you know, and we got, and this is the problem,

00:09we have guys that played the game that are commentators,

00:12and you listen to them commentate, it's like they have an agenda.

00:15I mean, dude, get the hell out the way, let the people play,

00:19and the best team wins.

00:21We can't say, oh, they're catching up with them,

00:23let's give them another advantage.

00:25To hell with that.

00:26People were throwing touchdowns on the Tampa two and two man deep

00:30all the time.

00:31Now you got to get back to utilizing that.

00:34They had started running high safety and man to man so much,

00:38it's easier.

00:39But now you got to think a little bit more.

00:41You can figure it out because let's be real.

00:43Those safeties got a whole half of the field.

00:46All you got to do is get somebody crossing one of them faces,

00:49somebody that's coming around, you can still throw touchdowns.

00:51Totally.

00:52I think offenses are now so focused on controlling everything,

00:59and as they've gotten away from the run,

01:01a lot of these passes are at or near the line of scrimmage,

01:04and everybody's so focused on completion percentage

01:07and efficiency numbers that a lot of just taking a deep shot

01:13has been play called out.

01:17Play called out, but the thing I watch, I watch Miami,

01:22I was watching Kansas City.

01:24They do this all day.

01:26And if you throw a crossing route to Xavier Worthy or to Tariq

01:34and they catch it at 18 and they run another 60 or 45

01:37or whatever hell you want to run,

01:39does that make it any less exciting?
