Mr. Cody Alexander of match quarters, to pretend I'm the general manager of an NFL front office.

And I come to you and I say, I'm sick of my team,

kicking field goals, running on second and seven. I want Matt Stafford, 5,000 yards,

Eli Manning, 50 touchdowns. I want that back. I'm sick of this cell coverage. I'm hiring you as an outside passing game consultant. How do I get back there? How do I get back to 4,000 passing yards being the

expectation for any quarterback who's any good? Well, I think first it's going to take volume and your run

You know, hopefully we can get it, you know, four yards. You're really going to have to have a run game that's dangerous so you can pull people

back towards the box.

I think that's one of the things that in these kind of shell coverages, these two high

systems, you've got to start draining that safety down. You got to start bringing the safety down.

The only way you can do that is to establish a real run game on early downs. And as though

that sounds counterintuitive, okay, well, but I'm trying to get to 4,000 yards passing.

I'm trying to get to 5,000 yards passing.

I think really looking at this now,

outside isolation is going to come back and vote

because you're going to have so many safeties kind of packed in. You're going to

have to be able to find that. I think that's why when you watch a guy like a Kevin O'Connell with

the Vikings, a lot of dagger routes back inside, getting Justin Jefferson going vertical,
