Run Defense Better Show Up Sunday

[foozool13]

With the Vikings firing their O Coordinator and a lot of that being based on the fact that he did not embrace running the ball, you can bet your ass that Dalvin Cook will be running the ball atleast 20 times this week. Considering he player here at FSU and we didnt draft him, I'm sure thats some more motivation for the kid.

Dalvin Cook will be ready to rock and roll. Hope the starting 7 can finally mange that **** or its going to be a long day.

By the U, you mean FSU right?

FU FSU

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

How about we stop them from throwing the ball all over us, instead? Getting them in 3rd and 7 doesn't matter a whole lot when they can convert 3rd and 7 with ease.

 

[Danny]

our run defense has actually been better than our pass defense as of late. It's hard to watch time after time all those guys wide open and the QB having all day to pass.

 

[NorthernFin]

We did a solid job containing the run against the pats.

I say play ALL OUT balls to walls!

In a game like this challenge a few peeps on D to make nasty on the field.

I'd like to see a LOT more aggression via run blitz (especially getting #20 involved)

and pass blitz and start the game attacking and do NOT let up for 60 minutes!

Play like it's the end of the wOrld and there ain't no tomorrow

because if we lose it's OVER!

IMO this is a defining game for Gase.

Throw caution to the wind and play all out aggressive with very bad intent!

Ya my bad, just meant he was local.

The pats were rushing the football very well until they went up against us..

In isolation Kiko and Raekwon played beautifully violent together

I am a huge fan of Dalvin (if you cant tell), but he honestly doesnt look all the way back from the injury. Hes a threat but Im not that worried, hes not breaking a lot of tackles right now. As bad as their passing offense looked, those WRs and TE will absolutely obliterate us if X isnt back and we get our usual nonexistant pass rush.

Priorities are our offensive line showing up to slow that pass rush and our pressure on their quarterback.

The Vikings present less problems than the Pats, and I had a feeling about the Pats game...

My only concern is that Minnesota punches us in our mouth and we give in to their physicality. Last night gives a skewed vision of that game. The Vikings were on Wilson's a** all game as well. He busted a long run that broke the game open. To that point it was 6--0 and nobody could move the ball.

 

[Awsi Dooger]

Keep it close and let Adam Gase's late mastery of the scoreboard show up again.

It would be hilarious if Minnesota missed a field goal or several.

Dolphins a play for me at +8 after Minnesota lost last night and fell to 6-6-1. That's the old angle of going against a .500 or worse team giving 6 or more at home, after at least 4 games have been played.

Basically the theory is that the won/loss record of the favorite is supplying a greater hint toward the caliber of that team than the power rating and pointspread are.

Line is now down to -7. I had to scramble for that +8 last night once it was obvious the Vikings would lose.

I agree, Vikes fired their OC because they werent running enough, so I'm gonna bet they try to run the hell out of it on sunday.

That said, we simply cant let Diggs and Theilen run rampant through our secondary.

I hope X is back (And Burke finally reads a book about scheming a defense.)

 

[mrbunglez]

I’m worried more about them attacking that shoddy ass secondary and linebackers.
