Brian Flores

And yes, there are lots of circumstances to it, but they are great at getting to the quarterback.

And Brian Flores is excellent at dialing up.

And they did sack Daniel Jones four times yesterday and pick him up, which is seemingly what they do every single week.

So, like...

Man, oh man, the Vikings.

The Vikings, historically, their defense right now with Brian Flores, I mean, you want to talk about some shady stuff going on in the National Football League.

I mean, how Brian Flores is not a head coach of an NFL team.

I think we all know why, and that's because...

He accused the owners of some racist collusion a few years ago.

I think that defense is spectacular.

I think Brian Flores is arguably, if not definitively, the best defensive mind in the NFL.

And the defenses he coordinates are just so aggressive.

They play that attacking blitz-heavy style.

wins.

Listen, you know Brian Flores.

You have played against his defenses in practice.

And so I'm just wondering, what makes him different? What makes him so special as a D coordinator?

Em, you hit on it.

Well, it's Brian Flores that runs that defense, and their defense keeps them in every game.

Didn't they hold the Bears without a touchdown when they played the Bears? I think they did.

Yeah, it was.

That's a great question.

I mean, here's what I love about Brian Flores, the defensive coordinator of the Vikings, who used to be the head coach here in our area.

They blitzed 85% of the time yesterday.

And I think he's saying, you know what? Somebody 30 years ago sat in a room and said, if you send more than four rushers, we're going to call that a blitz.

Maybe the top offense versus the top defense.

And Mike T, you'll be there on the call.

Does that make Brian Flores potentially an eligible head coaching candidate down the line, or is he just going to go down as greatest defensive coordinator of all time up there with Spegs?

Yeah, if you ask me, he becomes extremely intriguing to be a head coach again because, you know, I can tell you, like, look, I had the privilege of running two teams.

I don't know what the blitz percentage has been since Kyler Gordon's been back in the lineup.

If you compare where Dennis Allen's defense is with Brian Flores, but it feels a lot closer, if not right on par, perhaps even beyond.

and it's not only the actual blitzes but of course it's the simulated pressure yes the stem and disguise and kyler gordon's really unique and rather special ability to be able to drop into the deep third when he looks like he's going to blitz or to time up the snap at a moment's notice as soon as the ball is triggered by the center or even if they do have someone assigned to block him he does have a wide array of pass rush moves to get home, whether that's between the tackle boxes or, of course, when he's able to turn the corner and blitz the edge to get to the quarterback.

He's the movable chess piece.
