Re: Week Four: Vikings vs Saints @ London
I was unable to get out to the bar to watch the Saints last weekend, but I saw a good chunk of the Vikings game. The silver lining is it gave me a chance to observe the Vikings a little closer before the London game. I'm also in Vikings country, so I am also in a spot to keep a closer eye on them than most others. Here is my pseudo scouting report for the Vikings:
- The availability of safety Harrison Smith should dictate how the Saints offense will attack. The Vikings are a different defense when he isn't playing. - The Vikings o-line seems improved this year, both run and pass blocking. Saints need to bring it in the trenches defensively. - You can take away superstar Justin Jefferson, but don't overdo it like the Lions did and leave KJ Obsorn and the tight ends wide open. They're capable enough. - The Vikings pass rush has a bit more oooomph than last year with Danielle Hunter healthy and ZaDarius playing well. - The Vikings have two solid cover linebackers in Kendricks and Hicks. Not as good as Tampa's but still pretty good. - The kicking and punting for Minnesota has been pretty good and not the usual s**tshow it is for them some other years. - Patrick Peterson has been looking solid. Probably want to pick on the other cover corners instead. - The Vikings feel like a much better home team than road team this year. Traveling to London sucks, but we gotta like getting the advantage of drawing Minnesota overseas. - I've always seen Cousins as a hot and cold QB. Hopefully cold Kirk shows up in London. - I think the defense plays a little more straight-up now than they did with Zimmer and tried to give a lot of different looks. |
