Not quite, not quite.
We're going to give you 40 seconds, Troy.
Air out any complaint you have with the modern game of football.
Do you have anything that right off the top of your head you can think of?
I guess what I don't like is โ and I'm a former quarterback, of course.
I don't like the extent of some of the protection on the quarterback is probably โ
Probably my biggest complaint just because, man, the whole objective for a defense is obviously to get to the quarterback.
I mean, if you do that, you've got your chances of winning go up.
And these guys, man, I've never played defensive line or any of that, but I can only imagine that you're fighting through 300-pound offensive linemen, you're getting twisted and torqued in all kinds of directions, and yet you're trying to get to the quarterback.
And if you get there and you don't do it exactly the right way,
Then there's a penalty, and I just don't like that.
I don't like that at all.
Now, there's so much that's been done to try to protect players, and I'm all for it.
But you talk about a wide receiver going back prior to the 2000s.
I mean, if you went over the middle, it was up to the quarterback to protect the receiver.
And now quarterbacks will just throw it anywhere because they know the receiver's not going to get hit.
And what I see a number of times is defenders, they don't know how to play it.
Like they're caught in no man's land.
They don't know whether to try to make a play on the ball.
Just, just try to tackle the receiver.
