This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show. I'm Robert Mays. Really excited about today's show.

I think it was two weeks ago,

Nate, right? It was two weeks ago that you and I broke down the lessons that we learned from watching the best offenses in the NFL. We went through and, you know, watched five to ten of the

best units in the league. What were the big picture takeaways? What were some things we thought

could apply to the sport moving forward? Things we might see in 2021, stuff that has defined the sport over the last year or two. And we wanted to do that on the defensive side of the ball, but you and I are completely unqualified to do that properly. So in order to do it the right way, we decided to have on the one, the only, Deontay Lee from

PFF. DeAte, thank you very much for joining us, my friend.

It's an honor to be on the show. Nate is in the mystical group chat of a whole bunch of

online football guys, and we always talk about, you know, trying to get on each other's show

and talk about what we've seen,

what we like, what we don't like in football.

So I'm more than excited to be on today.

I shudder to think at the slander toward me that exists on that group track with a bunch of

people who know a lot more about football than me.

But I will, I digress.

Somehow I will survive.

So we are going to, we're not structuring it the same way

with this. It's not going to be specific lessons. We really just wanted to pick your brain about

some more big picture general concepts, ideas, the tide, more or less, about the way the game is

going. So let's start with just your general takeaways.

I know you dug into a little bit of this just as a project when I told you we wanted

to do this, which I sincerely appreciate.
