What’s the future of special teams in football? As Nate Oliver explains, if you take away special teams, you will take away jobs. We get into the importance of special teams and what it takes to be a special teams player — or as Nate calls it, a War Daddy. What is a special teams war daddy?!
After a weekend of games that saw many leg injuries (it seems like that’s every week now), we talk about defensive backs going low. Football is trying to eliminate head injuries and for good reason, but this is leading to a significant number of lower body injuries. We have to talk about it.
