|BlackJesus| Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think this one will be a rout. Vikings have no offense at the moment and may be without Jefferson. Bengals just need to keep it simple, run game, screens, limit turnovers, and they can easily win by 20+. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so, hope the more he plays and gets tape on him doesn't change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ray Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 OK Nick Mullens is a guy who can pass the ball but he's no threat to run it. I think most defenses can seal with that. It's the mobile guys that are hard to prepare for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothD Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 From my untrained eyes, it seems as if the DBs are playing much better and understanding the schemes and their assignments. Besides the 30 yard pass play to Pittman, they held everyone else in check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texbengal Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think Vikes have a few OL starters who are out too. Guys like Tre and DJ need to dominate their matchups, especially against a pocket pitcher like Mullens. That said, Minny has some very good skill guys like Jefferson who I’m sure will play, and TJ Hockenson at TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Trying to find some info on Mullins. He’s a pure journeyman—but started 16 games for SF during his 3-year time there. Did break Farve’s single season opassing records at Southern Miss, so has some game it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Brian Flores will definitely be trying to confuse the inexperienced Browning at the line of scrimmage with different pressure packages. Minnesota uses the fewest standard 4 man rush packages in the NFL. Per Sports Info Solutions, the Vikings have sent the most three-man and five-man (blitz) pressures in the National Football League. On the same accord, they have sent the least amount of four-man pressures in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
