Ralph MarlboroughHost
Dave CarielloHosthow are we feeling about this Viking game? You know, we talked about it on the, on the big show, but we're getting closer and the saints still have a bunch of injuries.
Um, uh, Look, here's one of my main things is if we didn't run the football and don't do a better job of running the football, that affects so many other things.
And when you're going up against a defense like Brian Flores, he's going to just tee up on Shuck all game because he knows you are zero threat to run the football.
I don't know what's going to happen between what we just saw on Monday night and Sunday.
So I'm concerned that it's going to be – the defense is going to kick our butt.
Thomas is going to put up these stats that I should have sent to you, Dave.
But these pressure rates for Minnesota are – insane that I'm going to send to you so you can look at them so you can understand what Thomas is showing on the screen to the people.
This is like defensive pressure rate versus blitz rate, which is like pressure rate is like, do you get pressure? whether you rush two or five or 10, Minnesota, they blitz on 71% of plays.
Like Brian Flores, he blitzes a ton of times, five, six, and they get home because they confuse people.
