Failure to Close

Well, to give up 7 sacks against a Titans team that had not rushed the passer well so far, seems like we have a serious flaw in picking up blitzes and scheming against it.

 

Nickel and edge blitzes continually go unpicked. If the QB cannot do it, the OC has to help out. How many weeks of this do we have to see before an adjustment is made to such blitzes?

 

These coaches have to go.

Exactly!  I have been saying this for 4 or 5 weeks now.  Any DC of the opposing team can see that an edge blitz will be effective 90% of the time.  Then you do a simple stunt blitz in the middle gaps and they again are 90% effective.  Same stuff every game....Philbin I hope you are reading this!

I counted eight.  I could be wrong, though.

One was lame though. It was one where he took off and slid for a half yard gain, but they said he slid before the LOS so it counted as a sack. 

 

To me it was 7 sacks...as if that's any better..lollol

    • Exactly. The kid had a bright future to look forward to.  And this happens. It is very sad for everyone.   Enjoy life! Don't drive after drinking, folks. 
    • I would still love if we signed Simmons but normally players get better in year 2, in Nicks case it will be year 3. Looks like Ballard trusts who he has + we still have Moore .
    • They want to give the young DBs a chance, like they've been saying since the end of the season. Maybe losing Daniel Scott (again) changes things a little, making it slightly more likely that they add a veteran at some point. But it's been a month and they haven't done anything, so I assume they'll wait and see what camp looks like.   I personally would prefer that they sign a qualified veteran, even if he's not an incredible game changer. Any of the vets whose names we've been throwing around since March would be nice to have. But they obviously aren't eager to do that, and I don't think it's about cost at this point. I think it's about giving the young players room to prove themselves.    There a few veteran established safeties and corners still unsigned. I think they have options, at least for now.
    • This really bothers me because many people don't know this, but the Vikings are my 2nd favorite team because my father was a diehard Vikings fan. I have never really posted that I don't think, maybe I did to @NFLfanat one time? I liked Denver too when Peyton went there but who didn't lol. I grew up having to hear my dad talk about Fran the greatest QB ever and in 1998 when they had Cunningham, Moss, Carter, Smith, and Randle - it was nonstop. So this hits home with me pretty deep. That is another reason why, I always barked backed at people talking bad about Kirk, because he was actually good. 
    • I had him 3rd round too. He was possibly winning a starting job on the Vikings outside of Byron Murphy if I remember right. Had a bright future. Hate when this happens. As you said, only 24. Way too young to die. I just turned 37 July 1st, so that's scary to think about.
