. . Daniel House@DanielHouseNFL I'm working through the #Vikings All-22. Minnesota frequently played with two-deep safeties, so the Seahawks decided to bring in an extra OL and play physical football. It's clear the Vikes wanted to slow drep passing. Seattle perfectly countered through the ground game.

Too many coaches to count with tablets and headsets but seemingly they can’t see it and react.

PFF ranks Eric Wilson #16 of all LBs in the league in run defense. Take it for what it's worth. They rank Kendricks #4 overall, Wilson #13 overall, and Barr #97 overall. Should have let Barr go when he was already going.

On one play I saw Barr get manhandled by DK the sea wr. Zim seems to have a love affair with Barr and Rhodes

We don't seem to mind a death by paper-cuts.

Pete Carroll had done his homework and his offense was ready to take what we gave.

Carol outcoaches Zimmer by using an extra lineman against our 2-deep Safety approach but the minute we change out of our 2-deep safety approach we get burned. The def gameplan seemed odd to me at first but IMO indicated that we had more confidence in offense than our ability to shut down their run attack without exposing our secondary against whirling dervish Wilson. I would say going into halftime on the road against SEA up 17-10 is no reason to change your gameplan. Yes SEAs run game burned us, but slowly ... I suspect Zimmer was not only scheming against SEA but worried about secondary holding up in a fully run committed situation. The third quarter was catastrophic - not because of great adjustments by SEA or lack thereof by us - but because of the turnovers and boneheaded plays. I don’t remember when Cook/ Reiff went out but that didn’t help either. No excuses, we got outplayed badly in the third quarter. Badly. And it sucks to see our run defense shredded by an offense that is broadcast thats it going to run. Get this this defense back on track Zimmer or you are going to be out of a job fast. What can I say, ‘winning’ (with big quotation marks) 3 out of 4 quarters doesnt cut it. Thank God it wasnt a playoff game. I’d love to have that opportunity again with Thielen on the field and the defense playing a little better ... maybe we will.

Put a better option in his spot and bring the safeties up and see what happens. The good teams have been targeting Rhodes since and including Green Bay.

My point is that it was still happening late in the 4th quarter. They drove and took all but 30 seconds off the clock. I didn't see any run-blitzing or aggressive play calls to stop the run. Which is WAY Worse than getting burned by a deep Wilson pass because it leaves no time on the clock.

I really didn’t address Rhodes specifically ... nor did the posts I responded too. It was really about in game adjustments and countering their extra OL.

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/6/2019 1:42:24 PM)
Yeah I think we’re pretty much in agreement

Pager -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/6/2019 3:09:36 PM)
I forget which coach said: The developmental curve - you are blown out of games, you have first learn to play with those teams (lose close ones), then you learn how to win those close ones, finally you learn to blow teams out. Vikings remind me of that with Road games. 3 of our losses came against top 10 teams on the road. All within 1 score. A couple of plays in each game and we had/have a chance to pull it out. I'm much more optimistic about this team, the only game we haven't shown any fight was the Chicago game. To fight back on the road after probably the worst 4 drive (Fumble, TD, INT, TD) sequence I've seen was something else. The noise at Clink was as loud as any NFL game I've ever been to. At the same time, there would be nothing more Viking than to have a 90% chance of making the playoffs with 5 games to play and finding a way to exit ourselves out of the playoffs.

It seems like he makes his defensive game plan and decides to stick with it come hell or high water. Not very smart when you can see that it's not working. We've been getting gashed right up the middle a lot this year. I wish the defensive genius would devise a plan to stop it.

Bill Jandro -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/6/2019 8:36:54 PM)
What would that be now for Zim 2-4 after a bye? He certainly hasn't developed many game plans that actually stifle an opposing offense. Denver game he was able to at least adjust and limited them in the second half. But he got schooled by Carroll. Football 101 tells me he should at least shore up the weakest link.

joejitsu -> RE: General Vikes Talk (12/6/2019 10:01:03 PM)
Barr is fine, as long as we use him in the right way. He's not a cover guy. He is an asset when he plays along the line and is able to pressure the passer and stuff the run. He gets lost in coverage. Zim has to play him to his strengths and stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!

Should have let him go the Jets It’s decisions like these and paying too much for Cousins (a good, not great QB) that keep this organization in that mediocrity mode Just look at the last 2 years. How many wins vs teams that end the season with winning records? This last wild card will get reall interesting. They will probably win easy this week. LA will be no easy game with James and Bosa healthy If they fail to hold on to the last wild card spot Zimmer and Spielman have to go The whole Cousins signing turns in to an epic disaster for a team that was supposed to be a QB away

The fact you have to adjust to Brandon Allen and Denver offense is concerning itself

No he's not a great qb but there aren't a lot of even good qb's if you scan what every other team has. Secondly if you make a list of our last 20 qb's this franchise has started we could do far worse than Cousins. Rhodes certainly is the new whipping boy but it really should be Zim himself. The fact that he plans to keep trotting Rhodes out there and his misusage of Barr are just a couple tipping points.
