Boom.
I saw a thing you did with Peyton came out like two weeks ago when you're talking about the no huddle offense.
Yeah.
I actually I was like 11 at the time, so I wasn't really into football.
I didn't know you guys kind of revolutionized that.
And I thought it was really interesting when you were talking about calling your own plays and how you got tired of it eventually because you felt like you had to be an O.C.
Are there any quarterbacks you think in the league right now that have kind of more autonomy over the plays than other quarterbacks?
Yeah, I mean, like a guy like Matthew Stafford can get up there and change a play.
And if you've ever heard Matthew Stafford on the field while he's getting the play from Sean McVay from the sideline and how many words are in those plays.
And Matthew Stafford is trying to call a play in a huddle, and he's going, God.
Damn it, the guy's still talking in my ear.
Shut up, I got it, I got it.
He keeps changing.
And then Matthew says to his teammates, he's still talking to me.
I mean, that's the problem with the quarterback-to-coach communication device.
It's just too much communication.
Back in my day before we had that, we had it when Richie Kotite was here, and he wouldn't hold a button down, but heard every third word.
But before that, it was all you had to know everything by, you know, you had to memorize everything.
At least I was responsible to memorize all of it.
And you know what's funny?
