In an attempt to open up passing offenses, Kiper wants to outlaw what is known as “Cover Two” or “Two High” coverage, which features two safeties guarding over the top, roughly 10-15 yards from the line of scrimmage, while cornerbacks matchup with receivers.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. made one of the most controversial football strategy takes in recent content history on Thursday morning's episode of Get Up, when he called for the NFL to ban two-high safety defenses. The take has set the internet ablaze.

Kiper just wants NFL passing offenses to get back to the explosive days of, uh, the notoriously run-heavy 1970s?
