Again you don’t “chip” with safeties

Haha for whatever reason this reminded me of our linebackers in college... they called chipping a "reroute" when they were in zone. Whenever one of them effectively "rerouted" someone - for them this meant leveling a freshman slot receiver running a crosser - they'd all start yelling "REEEE ROUTTEEE" in a Mr. T voice.

I'm sure you couldn't get away with that these days.

And yea I'm not sure in what context a safety could chip though I'm sure there is some weird situation where a strong safety is down in the box and playing a shallow zone

That was what is infuriating - Jake was basically saying if you don’t know what a “24 blast, over front, non sequitor, coverage gap” is you have no business critiquing. No casual fans know the jargon, and even many football players don’t apparently.

I'm going to have to go listen. I usually really like this show! If know what's happening it's more helpful to explain the reason in simple terms so everyone is on the same page.

A super simple example is I was watching football with my dad. Receiver catches a hitch. My dad is badmouthing the corner who had bailed to a deep third. I explained "that's not really his responsibility... he's got to go to the deep third and the inside receiver was running a fade... if he didn't go, you'd be badmouthing him about the touchdown thrown to the pylon...". Very simple situation many casual football fans would understand, but those types of discussions help everyone vs. trying to gate keep and being like "if you don't know cover 3 you can't enjoy football".
