blacklabel Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 So much for those young, innovative offensive minds, haha. I think Frank Reich probably had more to do with Wentz' monster season in 2017 given how he's completely revitalized Andrew Luck's career right now. Looking at the Vikings scores this season, it seems that when the offense is clicking and putting up points, the defense isn't clicking and they're giving up more points than their offense is scoring. And then if their defense is mostly getting the job done, the offense is non-existent. Kirk Cousins is a bit overrated, IMO. He holds the ball too long, takes a lot of sacks and fumbles way too much. Over the past few seasons he's averaged 10 or 11 fumbles per season. And he can be really inconsistent. He'll catch the hot hand and complete something like 10 of his last 12 passes and then he'll follow that up by completing 1 of his last 9 or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeskillitMoorman Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Feels like there's something up with Zimmer. Norv quit because they didn't see eye to eye, and then there were rumblings this year that it was going on with DeFilippo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OC may be above his skill level right now, but he's the guy that worked with Nick Foles last year and helped him learn to stand in the pocket and make throws instead of his career habit of being flushed out under pressure (or phantom pressure). Wentz also looked better with this guy coaching him. I know "bring him in!" is practically a meme here, but this is one where I seriously do feel it could be an upgrade. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopey Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Minny totally changed their offensive philosophy and kept most of the offensive players from last year. You don't go from how good they were last year and change the offense that dramatically, unless it's a rebuild or you are given time to work a new scheme and QB in. They forgot who they were. Not the OC's fault. Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd love it if we hired him as QB coach. DeFillippo could be a guy that could eventually rise through the ranks here especially if Allen has a monster 2019. Daboll will get hired for a HC job pretty quick.

Kirk Cousins is a QB who needs a stout OL and great WR to succeed. He's got the great WR, but their OL has been hideously disrupted. Among other changes, last year's LG has been on IR with a neck injury, they moved last year's good RT to RG (shades of Marrone and Pears), they are starting a rookie at RT, and most of their line has missed time with injuries. But it's the Vikings D that has truly fallen off Big Time relative to last year, so it's not entirely clear to me why DeFilippo is the fall-guy 6 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Zimmer basically told the media the other day that DeFilippo was refusing to do that Zimmer asked, so this is hardly a surprise.

whatdrought Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I echo what a lot of people are saying- he would be great for Allen. Wentz grew a lot with him as the QB coach, and now he doesn’t look as good. (Reich is undoubtedly part of that as well) You would think a QB mind would be happy to work with Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Definitely a scapegoat here, but I'd welcome him on our staff. The reason I would bring him in is that he took Carson Wentz from a guy with athletic potential, to a guy that was an MVP candidate last year before he got hurt. A hire like that could be huge for Josh Allen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
