Pushing the Pile: A CBS Sports NFL Podcast with Kyle Long & Mike Renner

Fine enough podcast, definitely interesting topics and context. Both Kyle and Mike are great but I wish they had more chemistry as a duo. Kyle esp is a gem - I really miss hearing him on Green Light. Any chance he can do both??

Bring back Pick 6!!

Bring back pick six

Hey guys, I have an idea for QBs (or anyone else with the ball) to be able to give themselves up on a play. Why not just give the fair catch signal? There is no situation where a ball carrier would ever waive their hand above their head and it is an immediate and obvious signal that is already in the game. I think you could legislate that the nearest defender must be 3-5+ yards away to be flagged for contact. It allows a ball carrier to clearly signal they’ve given themselves up while still allowing them to brace for incidental contact from an athletic position instead of the compromised position of a slide or a dive. It would also be very easy to institute a penalty for a “fake waive”, where they waive but don’t go above shoulder level, like has been done for some punt returns in the past. Keep up the great work guys!
