  • It’s good you called out what th me Vikings D usually does and also what they were doing to adjust to the Bears. They basically were showing blitz every play and then dropping 2-4 deep giving away the middle. They were baiting Fields to think himself into turnover chances.

    Most teams really struggle to run against the constant blitz packages. We are only 1 of 3 teams, and we did it twice, to run for 100+ yards against them. So those 6 man box packages are confusing for the line. Then we run motion to help JF1 identify the package. This moves receivers to different routes that take longer.

    I still think the core issue with offensive production is JF1 decision making and pocket presence. Adjustments are then made to help him, but this takes the game plan into very predictable reads for the D.








  • The drop is Justin’s fault. He’s too deep. You’re asking about this play so you will get it scored.

    The play call with the time we had was no more than five steps and boom release to out route. No chance it was seven steps and pray for someone to be open.

    This is how Justin ends up with 18.6 QBR in the final two minutes of halves.

    I say this as someone that knows Justin had a fantastic game against the Lions, but his mistakes were game changers. Maybe more reps and he stops making the same mistakes. I hope so.
