New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce · Ballpark Food Debate, Masters Recap & Troy Aikman on NFL QB Play, Drafting Mendoza & More | Ep 187 · 15 Apr 2026 podcast

We got so into the spread sets and throwing the football, the rules favored the receivers, you know, it was tougher on the defensive backs.

And that really goes back to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and some of those games because New England just went after the Colts physically.

And so they changed the rules.

It became more favorable for the receivers.

So we saw this influx in teams wanting to throw the football.

And now it seems to kind of be coming back to the middle where teams are running the ball more.

And I love that.

You know, I mean, my career, I would have loved to have thrown the ball more than I did.

But if I was a coach today...

I would do it the same way we did the 90s Cowboys.

I mean, a power running game, the play action game.

And we see that.

We see that from a lot.

We see that in San Francisco.

We see it with the Rams.

We've seen it with a lot of other teams, Chicago.

And they're kind of coming back to that, which I really like, which is only going to benefit the quarterback.

So I like where the league is right now.

I love these young quarterbacks and all the greatness that we've been able to see from that position.

There's so many quarterbacks that have come into this game that came in as high draft picks, high expectations, and then it just never quite happens for them.
