It's a creative time in the NFL. Scoring is up. Offensive innovation is at the max. And timing is everything. Doug Farrar just published a book that hits on the current trends and the history of schematic changes in the National Football League -- Genius of Desperation: The Schematic Innovation That Made the Modern NFL.

On this week's Schooled with the Professor, Doug educates us on the current run, pass option trends and how it plays into the game. He goes into great detail on how tough it is to defend and he talks about its staying power in the league. Farrar takes us through the desperation that led to many of the changes in the NFL. He talks Bill Walsh. He talks Doug Pederson. On Schooled, we dig deep into the strategy that has made the game of football great and what is working today.
