I hope Ed starts blitzing more. We have a really young secondary overall so sending some more pressure at the QB to get the ball out quicker would really help our young guys. I think Jared Goff was terrible when under pressure last year too

Darth Bobo

You can’t just rush 4 and expect to put pressure on Hurts especially with how good that O-line is and how he scrambles.

    Hue Yang

    I think those middle DT for the Vikings are weak. 👍

    Dpeezy

    ​@Hue Yang he just said they have a really good o line smh if they were weak they would have never got to AR the way they did..packers have a weak o line , so i would assume it would be tuff against a good o line especially when they we’re doubling Danielle on edges and z in the middle at times

Joe B.

If you don’t blitz, you don’t win.

Shanenlifts

The shell defense didn’t work all game and he says he would do it again but it needs to be executed better? Sounds just like Zimmer blaming the players, refusing to learn or change anything

    seems like a trend for old coaches…maybe we need to stop trying to squeeze things from old fruit and grow new fruit

    Eric Larsen

    he has no choice, he doesn’t trust the secondary to press tight coverage

City Tonight Productions

Ed, your scheme was horrible the other night. Just own it. You call the plays, you gave the Eagles receivers a 10 yard cushion from your CB’s right off the line of scrimmage and the slot passes killed ya as they should. They took what you gave them. Ya didn’t blitz at all. Cmon man, you need to do better in the NFL.

    You said it perfect man, same shell cover 2 cover 3 bs and they made hurts look like Aaron Rodgers last year 🤦‍♂️ Blocked field goal and a very lucky pic have taken the eyes off how awful the defense played. You can’t expect smith and Hunter to get pressure every single attempt. Own up and fix it

    God Of Sniping

    Bruh you do understand that the big plays weren’t scheme. If we didn’t throw the big touchdown to go down 14 – 0 we would’ve been fine. The scheme was setup to not get burnt by big plays and a scrambling QB.

    Against those QBs you have to keep everything in front or you’ll get torched even worse all game

    Dantzler ran the opposite direction three times that game and it resulted in big points and our offense had no time of possession which also impacts your defense

Wassergekuhlt

Eagles took their foot off the ⛽ 2nd half.

    Eric Larsen

    we missed a lot of oportunities to make a come back, the block kick, the interception, besides if irv would catch the ball if would be a different game, at that time the game was 21 – 7 if we score then it is 21 -14 a different game

playing scared isn’t a good game plan

Greg Hakes

The Defensive plan against Philly was laughable at best.

DC

Don’t play scared u had guys 10 yards deep on 3rd& 2 and 15 yards deep on 1st & 10 🤦🏾‍♂️

WM

Just blitz and stuff the box, it’s Jared Freaking Goff!

Killa B

Gotta switch up the looks I believe in the scheme but it’s way too easy. Can we not play some type of press zone coverage I get we don’t have man corners…also we got Z and D hunt but maybe try more blitz packages ?

Kevin Balcer

Excuses he played that same scheme though out the game and didn’t bother switching it up when it obviously wasn’t working. Keep playing like this and season over

Florence Dahl

Need to fix the defense add blitzing to it can’t win games that way Skol 😤

Cole Trickle

Oh man, this oughtta be good.
Execution was off????? Really???? This defense is going to suck all season. I am having hc leslie frasier press conference vibes.

Casey James

Can’t take constructive feedback, in denial, Defense was atrocious…I’m seeing a lot of similarities😏

Jimmie Snooka

PLEASE FIRE ED EARLY!!!
#FireEd

Steve Fioco

You can’t cover NFL receivers lining up 10-15 yards off the ball I thought Zimmer prove that if we don’t beat the Lions this weekend we’re looking at another eight and nine season at best

ThePurpleUFO

Watching the Vikings pass defense, I had the impression they were still practicing social distancing…stay 6 feet apart from other people.

xbraiden13x

What adjustments are you talking about. Philly took their foot off the gas there was no adjustments made from the first half to the second

SLC Norseman

Ed here taking credit for special teams. 👏 Maybe dial up a blitz every now & then, you have freaking Za’Darius & Hunter!
