00:00And not sliding and how it's affecting football and what he would change in regards to the whole quote-unquote

00:06Protecting the quarterback stuff here was Tom Brady

00:10There's an aspect that I don't like about some of these defensive rules

00:14I think I've been pretty outspoken

00:16Not just on broadcast but just in general over the last bunch of years and the reality for me is offensive players

00:22Need to protect themselves

00:24And if they're running full speed and the defenders are coming up

00:28The only way to turn the ball over is to create force, right?

00:31you're not gonna blow on the football and gonna knock its way out of a running backs hands or a quarterback since when

00:38Quarterbacks become running backs and they're out of the pocket. They should lose their protection in essence

00:44We're trying to say we're trying to protect the quarterbacks

00:47But coaches are calling more quarterback runs than ever in the history of the game

00:53So who's protecting the quarterback? We're trying to say the referee should do it. You can go down

00:58You can run out of bounds

00:59But you can't in essence have the defensive player come in at half speed

01:04And then you run over the defensive player because he's afraid of getting a penalty and I think it's a just a disservice to the

01:10Game, it's something that I would hope that people would really address

01:14Nailed it. I like Curtis's suggestion. I think it was Curtis yesterday who suggested that

01:19Once you're out of the pocket your fair game

01:21Yep, as a quarterback, I'm all for that

01:26It is it's something that is being he said Tom Brady was spot-on when he said it is being taken

01:33advantaged of the

01:35Quarterbacks are taking advantage of it and I would hope that they find a way to change that

01:41Well, I think that's the perfect thing is like what Curtis said

01:44And if you if you want to slide then it'll go back to you'll slide a lot

01:49Earlier like we talked about that whole Trevor Lawrence situation, right and when quarterbacks know like, all right

01:54Once they leave the pocket and they become runners. They have no like there's no protection for you

02:01Yeah, unless you're giving yourself up, you know way early. I think this is a great idea

02:06How quickly would quarterbacks be able to adjust to that though?

02:09Easily immediately really because I think that that that you always say the game comes at you so fast

02:15To be able to adjust into that. I think you're gonna see more quarterbacks get hurt before they're able to figure it out
