Lattimore vs Cooks (I trust Lattimore on Brandin).
Kamara vs ? (Hightower is 50/50 to play)
Blitz often --> send at least 4,5 guys consistently.
Bracket Cooks, deal with Gronk. I'm still not believing in the Pats supporting cast of WR's at the moment.
Hopefully we see more man coverage. Our run D will limit any of the Pats RB's. Safety play must be better (Kenny V). Dome needs to be loud (force communication errors). Get off the field on 3rd down.
Our Red Zone offense will be much better. Pats aren't nearly as effective defensively in the r/z as what we saw from the Vikes.


It sounds cliche' but the NFL is a week to week league. Players get better each week & our guys will be up for the task at hand.

Let's get the dome rocking early!

Let's hope Gronk remains quite. Eric Berry (before season ending injury) put on a clinic of how you defend against the leagues best TE.

I hope Kenny Vaccarro took plenty of notes in that "DB's only" meeting .

I like Lattimore on Cooks too but only in a man defense. With the way they were playing zone the other night, Cooks will have a career game. A split second hesitation from zone assignments and he'll be half way down the field before they can recover.

I expect Allen to have a different game plan. Payton knows how to effectively limit (jam off the line) the big play ability of Cooks.

Vikes were a bad match for us. We'll play a lot better on defense.
