  Chris, does it make it a nightmare for defensive coaches and position coaches to
• 0:04
  now really re examine how to teach tackling If that makes sense. It's been
• 0:10
  a nightmare for a while, so it's a recurring nightmare. Yeah, I
• 0:15
  mean, it doesn't make it one. It's been made one. And yeah,
• 0:19
  and look at this is why two fans need to understand that. You
• 0:25
  know, that's the media needs to understand that. This is why we have
• 0:28
  to judge defenses differently. You can't sit there and compare stats too years ago
• 0:34
  because you can't do the same things defensively. You've got every rule is really
• 0:40
  the benefit offense. So when people say, yeah, well defense is not
• 0:43
  as good as it used to be, what's wrong with Chris? That's number
• 0:46
  one. That's it. We just spent time talking about why it's more difficult
• 0:50
  to play it. So when you can play defense and give up twenty four
• 0:54
  points a game, that's good, that'll get your beat in the seventies,
• 0:59
  I mean twenty four you know, twenty four points is going to win your
• 1:03
  most games in the seventies. Twenty four points today probably not unless you're playing
• 1:10
  a bad offense, which is kind of why things have changed. It's why
• 1:14
  you know everything is going to okay, who the playmaker quarterback? Then playmakers
• 1:19
  offense, and then who can get the who can affect the offense, who
• 1:23
  can beat the pass protectors. It's the pass rushers and the cover guys.
• 1:27
  So yeah, it's a nightmare for defensive coaches. And it's another reason why
• 1:34
  people don't look as fondly. And I think this is wrong about defensive coaches
• 1:38
  for head coaching opportunities because a lot of them do a good job, but
• 1:42
  fans just call. But I saw, you know, his team get beat.
• 1:47
  Yeah, join the club, you know. The Just because you're a
• 1:51
  really good coach doesn't mean you're going to be able to shut out people defensive
• 1:53
  and unless you're playing a bad offense. And if you're a good leader,
• 1:57
  you can become a good head coach, whether you're coaching offense, difference of
• 2:00
  special teams. But it this is not new, This is not we're not
• 2:06
  making news today. What we're doing is re emphasizing and put the stamp on
• 2:12
  old news stories about how the game has changed over the years. Well,
• 2:15
  it's only going to continue to do so in the same fashion that it has
• 2:20
  for quite a bit of time,
