One statement hits close to home.
Cunningham said college programs -- such as the University of Michigan, for example -- have been forced to get away from the classic pro-style, run-first formations.
"It takes so much time and it's physical. You've got to spend time at the run game, getting all of those linemen on the same page with the back and how he runs the ball,'' Cunningham said. "It's easier to just drop back and throw it. It's easy. You talk about protection, but if the quarterback takes the snap at five yards (deep) and takes 2 1/2 steps, he's at 9 1/2 yards deep.
