Don't forget Brian Robbins Jr. from the Washington commanders will join us coming up at 9 o'clock.

That's just about 35 minutes from now. Keep listening for him.

So we wanted to get into the discussion about sliding in the NFL because it's been a big topic this week in the wake of the Trevor Lawrence concussion, that vicious hit that he took

in the game against the Houston Texans.

And we have some audio of Rex Ryan talking about sliding and how effective it is.

And is it the right move for quarterbacks in 2024?

I am so sick and tired of seeing people teach, you know, hey, slide.

When you're running out here, you slide.

The hell you do, not when you're going full speed down the field and the defenders come in full speed at you.

You don't slide.

I can see this happens over and over and over again. All you have to do

is watch every Saturday college football. Two to three of these happen every single week.

I'm sick and tired of it. You are not protecting your quarterback when you teach him how to slide

when it's not in the open field. Open field, of course. That's great. Absolutely not here.

If you want to get a concussion, you slide like this when contacts come.

What should they be taught to do?

They should be taught to dive at the ankles of the defender or run the football and keep your head out of it.

I mean, trust me, I would take the ankles of the defender. Run right there,

dive at his ankles. Immediately, the guy's going to go to protect himself. He's not worried about

tackling you. Look, the kid, absolutely, it was awful, all right? And yes, he's going to be

suspending and things. But also, this happens all the time when the guys just trying to make a

tackle.
