Overview

• Mel Kiper Jr. has called for the NFL to ban the Cover-2 defense to boost offensive scoring.
• Kiper argues that the prevalence of two-high safety looks is ruining the game by limiting deep passes.
• Offensive production has dropped to its lowest levels in over a decade, with scoring and passing yards both down.
• Many analysts and former players have criticized Kiper's proposal, suggesting offenses need to adapt rather than change the rules.
• Defenses have evolved with more dynamic and adaptive strategies, making it harder for offenses to succeed.
