Scouting The Vikings

[Jimmy]

I hope their MLB blitzes a lot...only gives Olsen more room to operate in the middle.

I've been reading through some Vikings forums.....some of them are aware that the Broncos are the only team that beats us on a regular basis.......and believe that their defense is pretty close to the Broncos defense.

We will see. However, I remember giving it to you guys pretty good in 2014. Lots have changed since then.

Vikings defense is going to be a tough task, but panther should be able to spread the ball and get the run game going. Looking for the TEs to make some big plays against the LBs corp.

Alexander who I fell in love with. Dude will not play for some time but he has the cover skills you love. His attitude scares me as he is a big talker and may be prone to taunting penalties

So basically, you have Josh Norman waiting in the wings.

I've always wondered what a team with zero holes and pro bowlers everywhere looks like.  Now we know

Not unless they're significantly improved over last year, when they finished around the middle of the pack.

I missed the news that Baltimore traded him back to Minnesota after signing him to a 2 year contract on March 15. Unless we're playing both the Vikings and Ravens this Sunday

You focus on stopping Torrey Smith and Randy Moss, then Jamaal Lewis bludgeons you up the gut. Its a no-win situation come Sunday.

You are mistaken :). He is nothing like Miller or Mack. He can be but not in our Scheme. Both of those guys are edge rushers. We rush Barr up the middle when we send him. Also, he graded out as the best cover LB last season. I'll try to find the PFF report. 

Ok, I don't watch many Vikings games, I'll take your word on how they use him as a rusher, but https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-anthony-barr-makes-the-difference-for-minnesotas-defense/ says top 3 coverage, not #1.

I'm not paying for PFF to find out exactly where Luke lines up, this is what I could find from them about his coverage https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-why-luke-kuechly-thomas-davis-comprise-nfls-best-linebacker-duo/

And this is all assuming PFF is a credible source of evidence, which I don't believe. Point of the matter is Luke is hands down the best LB in the league, and the best the NFL has seen in a long time. The only recent players that might even compare are Urlacher and Ray Lewis, and I think he's already surpassed Urlacher and maybe also Lewis (if he hasn't, he's at least past what Lewis was at this stage of his career and will easily once his whole body of work is behind him).  To try to compare any LB in the NFL to Luke is an exercise in futility.

As for the Panthers, it comes down to two things:
- Bracket Diggs
- Keep Bradford in the pocket

I'm not sure what I said that got everyone thinking I think my team is on beatable. I think I was pretty clear on what I was I will strengths andAnd weaknesses are. My analysis of are devens breaks down to One good corner, One elite safety, one great lb, one up and coming, and an old guy that a limited. 3 pass rushers at DE. An elite NT and a guy who can't stay health next to him. 

In fairness, im probably telling you guys about players you know nothing about.

Hahaha, unless they start headhunting, no they're not. Cam was punishing Denver's D until the pricks started playing dirty. So if that's their game plan too then they better watch out because Minnesota aren't media darlings. Dirty shots will result in suspensions for them.

Least penalized team last season. We play clean, hard football.

Nowhere near the cover skills yet. The mouth is legit though.
