00:00I want to get your opinion on today's quarterbacks.
00:03He said technology is ruining the quarterbacks of today on teaching them the game because of what they do by
00:09telling them in their ear where to go and throw the football with their pre-snap reads.
00:15I had to get to the line of scrimmage, Bernie said, and I had to dissect the defenses myself.
00:20You just said it, Jim.
00:22You came to the line of scrimmage.
00:24You had to come up with the play yourself.
00:26You had to know your pre-snap.
00:28You had to know where to go with the ball.
00:30Do you think that's missing in today's game on teaching the young quarterbacks on how to see progression reading it
00:36today?
00:37Yeah.
00:38For me, when I played, I had to come up with not only the play, but I had to come
00:44up with formation, pass protection.
00:47As I yelled it out, a good example, I would say 4-4-4.
00:51I'd throw a number out there, and that was our formation.
00:54And then if it was a pass play, I would call the pass protection, Cubs, Cubs, or Bears, Bears, or
01:00Broadway, Broadway, or whatever the case may be.
01:03And then I'd have to come up with a play, 91 double switch, 91 double switch.
01:08And then the snap count.
01:10Now, I had to come up with, oh, if you just take, for example, okay, I completely passed a second
01:17on your five.
01:17I have to do it in a hurry-up style.
01:21I had to give them the play, the formation, everything within five seconds in my brain trying to do that.
01:28And I would go at all these, and we'd go boom, boom, boom.
01:32Every 15 seconds, we'd be gone.
01:35And at times, sometimes I'd come off the sidelines, and I thank the good Lord that I had Ted Marchabrode
01:41as my coordinator.
01:42And also, Frank Reich was my backup, who helped when I needed his help.
01:48But the bottom line, I don't know.
01:53Bernie said that.
01:53I don't know that, I thought that once 15 seconds goes off the clock, the microphone already shuts off in
02:05your headset.
02:06So, I don't know.
02:07Maybe they've changed that.
02:08But I just know, I'm not sure.
02:12I don't think that there would be quarterbacks out there that would want to call all their own plays.
02:17I think they would rather get it from the sidelines and then be able to audible if they wanted to.
02:25I think that more than anything, I think that's what they would want to do.
