Yes. I believe the philosophy will be stop the run and prevent big pass plays, keep everything in front of you. Make the other team dink and dunk their way down field hoping they are tacked short, miss a pass on 3rd and 5 etc. Make them grind it out every drive. A more conservative approach.i don't think it will be an issue. It will look different. Our D this year will be more about stopping the run than about rushing the QB especially on the early downs. So you won't have 4 guys rushing the passer every play, gettign out of run lanes and losing containment on every single play. The Viking D consistently outperformed the Cowboys in sacks per year duing the Zimmer years.
They’ll need to do play real good red zone defense though for this team to have success with this philosophy.
