Are we getting close to elite territory with this defense?
Green Bay torched the defense for a half, but the last 5 halves are close to the best defensive performances I have seen in my lifetime. Granted you have the scheme, but you have 1 elite pass rusher in Turner followed by a plethora of other options. The linebackers are extremely effective if not flashy with a rejuvenated Pace, Wilson, Cashman and now Van Noy. The DL other than Van Ginkel is incredible young and talented. Turner, Williams, Rodriguez, Redmond, Orange, Banks and TID are starting to dominate games and win either with pass rush or stopping the run which has been the one weakness of FLO's defenses in the past. You have the beef up front that by the end of the season the rotation of the D-line and linebackers is going to be overwhelming most teams. The D back is solid enough.
Banks looked good in limited snaps. Redmond is always in the backfield disrupting plays. I think with the guys we have and the coach we have, all we need is a bit of offense and we definitely could be in elite territory.
The in game adjustments from Flo are stellar.
How the D coaches and scouts work so well to bring in the right players for this scheme is right more than wrong (Allen, Hargrave aside)
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
The #Vikings have recorded a sack in 31-straight games dating back to 2024. It is the team’s longest sack streak in franchise history.

LIVE WELL ~ LOVE MUCH ~ LAUGH OFTEN
As good as they are we need average QB play and not much more to make a run. They’re not the 85 bears but certainly very very good. The good thing is we have 2 average QB’s in the room and Murray has upside in this O
