Schooled With "the Professor" John Clayton

The NFL is undergoing an amazing change. About 18 teams have quarterbacks who are 26 years old or younger. Many of those quarterbacks are runners, making it tough on defensive coordinators to figure out how to stop them. Steve Mariucci of the NFL Network joins us on Schooled to talk about the changing quarterback landscape. We discuss whether it’s better to plan man coverage or zone coverage to stop these running quarterbacks. So far, no one has figured out how to stop Jackson. Steve likes Russell Wilson as the league’s MVP so we discuss his season and his value to the Seahawks. We talk about the pocket passing quarterbacks, particularly the older ones such as Philip Rivers and Tom Brady. Do those kinds of quarterbacks have a place in the NFL anymore? Steve Mariucci educates on Schooled about quarterbacks.
