Or... people can run the ball when there is 2 high safeties. Just a thought though.

[@janos5408]

Exactly, when you run successfully teams are forced to bring at least one safety closer to the line of scrimmage.

[@davidtyree1543]

It's not that simple. Like Pagano said, teams will disguise their 2 high looks pre snap. I suspect the real solution is either more RPOs or these young QBs become way better at post snap processing.

[@camsuperman1]

@@davidtyree1543football really can be that simple If those safeties are that far deep, it doesn’t matter who you are, they’re still far away from the LOS to make a play on the run until too many yards are had Those teams with high two high shell are gonna be reliant even more on the front 7 making plays

[@CYMotorsport]

Not how it works . You can’t give one example of someone showing 2 high off the snap for that exact reason. Check down into short slant or run for 6-10 yards 9/10 times.

[@Acklon]

When you know a lot, you can get caught in the weeds about needing to "fix" everything, when in reality, we are just in one side of the ebb and flow of the balance of skill. Evidently, pass defense has gotten much better and now OCs have to figure out how to do better against that defense. The NFL already has 1000x more rules and exceptions than other modern sports, it doesn't need more to bail out people who are paid millions of dollars to play and scheme NFL strategies

[@CtFletcher-eg5zj]

[@MURKGOAT860]

So if a defensive formation set challenges these freakish athletic wideouts, and forces the quarterback to make accurate throws into tighter windows than they had to at the college level mean that a rule should force defenses into a vulnerable position to where just any quarterback can dominate. That'll diminish any true sense of accomplishment among anybody at QB if an implemented rule just enhanced your performance drastically with an immediate impact.

[@AcrobaticAlien88]

Gus Ferrotte LMFAOOO

[@ErWoody99]

2 high safety isn't the problem, qb play has significantly downgraded the past couple years, part of me thinks it's because these gms think that rookies qbs should be starting day 1, and also too many qbs have been given too many changes, Daniel jones and DeShawn watson are good examples of that

Mel makes some good points, teams are not folding and bringing 1 safety in the box regardless of how much they are ran against they play the odds of red zone stops, penalties, and turnovers.. OC’s are too afraid of job security to put gameplans to attack 2 high that involve added risk so we get these dink and dunk, bubble screen, gameplans. And offensive lines can’t hold up long enough to attack the deep middle of 2 high
