It opened up how I would describe it as the Canadian football field.
If you think about that size of field, that's what happened to the NFL.
It got bigger because people couldn't move as fast.
They couldn't cover as much ground.
They couldn't patrol as much ground.
So what happened?
Innovative offensive minds said, oh, wow, we have more space.
Let's start doing some more cool stuff, more college-like stuff we can get away with now.
And how are we going to do it?
How can we put more pressure on defenses, run similar schemes instead of the slot receiver doing it?
Let's have the hat back to it.
Let's get rid of the I formation.
Let's get the jet sweep going.
Think about all the innovations over the last 10 years that have come because the rule changed and innovative minds jumped into it in the space.
Again, I'm getting to your Trevor Lawrence answer in a second.
But you have to understand the buildup for how it happens.
And so the teams that figured it out before I mentioned, and then as the coaches went out and spread, they recognized that you could, with the new rules of safety, create an environment where it's much more difficult for the defense to deal with people coming from all over the field and creating new spaces and areas for different combinations to take advantage of.
And so we put the onus on the defense, the pressure on the defense.
The rules have constantly gone against the defense.
And so it's made it so much harder.
