off top. Too high. It's the terminology of the week right now. We're hearing about how it's ruining football as we know it.

0:07.3

Even some absurd things are being said like we should ban it so we can have more explosive games.

0:12.1

The problem isn't that too high coverages which is essentially

0:15.6

covered too. There are a few variations of it. We'll go through that, but the problem isn't that it exists. The

0:20.4

problem is the coaches and quarterbacks are cowards so we'll get into this film and I'll let you understand by the way people who are listening

0:27.2
