The NFL’s recent obsession with high-powered offenses has led to a neglect of one of the most exciting aspects of the game: two-way players. With the return of a certain coach to the league, we’re finally seeing a resurgence of this lost art. The sight of a massive, dominant force lining up on both sides of the ball is a beautiful thing, and we need more of it.
Players like Myles Jack, who have the versatility to excel on both offense and defense, are a rare breed. But what we really need are more of the big, bruising types who can wear a number like 44 and dominate on both sides of the ball. And with a certain coach calling the shots, you can bet that we’ll see some creative packages designed to get these players involved in the action.
It’s particularly interesting to see this approach being taken by a team that’s traditionally been associated with finesse and speed. But with a new coach at the helm, it’s clear that they’re looking to shake things up and establish a more physical identity. And with a player like Scott Matlock, who’s drawing comparisons to characters from epic fantasy sagas, leading the charge, it’s hard not to get excited.
While it might be tempting to call for more teams to adopt this approach, it’s actually more appealing to see it become a hallmark of this particular team. Let them own the identity of the big, bad, two-way players, and let Scott Matlock become a household name. It’s time to embrace the power and majesty of these gridiron giants, and let them take center stage.
