ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. made one of the most controversial football strategy takes in recent content history on Thursday morning's episode of Get Up, when he called for the NFL to ban two-high safety defenses. The take has set the internet ablaze.

Lou Holtz once said, "On television, you talk until you think of something to say." The endless jawboning of morning television is 99.9 percent verbal garbage, but every once in a while the 0.1 percent produces something smart... or, alternatively, something so dumb that it leads to smart discussion.

Kiper just wants NFL passing offenses to get back to the explosive days of, uh, the notoriously run-heavy 1970s?
