Me, the whole thing with the finger under between the legs, antiquated. Arcane. And weird. I mean, the whole thing is freaking silly. It's Felger and Maz. Presented by Draft King Sports Book on 985, the Sports Hub. As here from our town for Atari Studios in Waltham. We're brought to by the Draft King Sportsbook on 985, the Sportsup and the simulcast. It's broadcast on NBC Sports, Boston, across New

0:22.0

England and the country. Sort of on this kick, Maz, this take about Belichick being a defensive

0:29.1

coach in the direction of the league and how it's really sort of just, you know, hit me in the face,

0:34.2

how the league is evolving in a certain direction and you're not. And is that going to make it more difficult for you? Or does that mean, you know, you're destined to fail until you get with everybody else? I don't know. I don't know about that last piece, but I do know for sure. The league's heading in a certain direction and you're sort of stuck in one place. And, you know, how do you feel about that?

0:55.3

And, you know, we talked about the number of offensive coaches in the league and defensive

0:59.8

coaches in the league.

1:01.4

And it's the breakdown, I believe, is 18 to 13 and 1.

1:07.7

One is the John Harbo as a special teams coach.

1:10.3

There are 18 offensive coaches in the league, 13 defensive. So you would look at that and say, well, it's pretty evenly split. It's not too bad. So you can get away with the defensive coach. But then when you start to look at the playoff teams and the deep playoff teams, it's like none of the defensive guys survive. Of the final eight teams, that divisional round, which again, the line where I delineate the wheat from the shaft, is that the expression?

1:31.6

I think so.

1:32.7

Of those eight teams, seven head offensive coaches.

1:35.9

So, and the final four, all offensive coaches, final two offensive coaches.

1:40.7

And if we want to bear it down further, not only the offensive coaches, they all either

1:44.8

come from the Shanahan McVeigh tree or the Andy Reed tree. So it's like, well, what are you?

1:50.2

And they now on top of it all, they have athletic quarterbacks and mobile quarterbacks and

1:55.2

they are PO and spread and like they play a certain way with a certain quality of quarterback and style of

2:02.2

quarterback.

2:02.6

And I look at all that.

2:03.3

I say, you've got none of it.

2:04.5

Like you've got none of it.

2:05.7

You don't have a McVeigh guy.

2:07.3

You don't have a Shanahan guy.
