Viking Defense

[plasticman]

Tied for 1st place in sacks with 21. Leading sackers are LB Danielle Hunter, a 1st team All Pro in 2019, and Everson Griffen, who played for the Cowboys last season until being traded. Hunter has 6 sacks while Griffen has 4.

Vikings opponent passing percentage is 7th lowest in the league. They are also very good at limiting passing TD's, ranking 6th in this category.

Another familiar name on the Vikings defense is Xavier Woods who starts at safety. Thus far, he has one INT and one forced fumble. He is 3rd place among his teammates in solo tackles.

Wood's INT was against the Cardinals, a game the Vikings would have won but their kicker missed a 37 yard field goal as time expired. The Cardinals won 34-33.

Since then, the Vikings have won 3 out of their last 4 games.

This will not be an easy game for the Cowboys going into the Viking's stadium and playing before a national audience on Sunday Night Football.

Cousins is the type of QB that could dissect our defense too.

Doesn’t take much. He’s also the type of QB that will throw an INT.

Challenge accepted
- Dak (probably)

 

[AsthmaField]

No, it isn’t an easy game. The Vikes are pretty well coached and they have some good players.

Dallas will need to play well and limit mistakes in order to walk out with a victory. They can’t skate through this like they’re much better than Minn. They need to be focused.

Their edge rushers are pretty good and can make Dak move off his spot… which is more of a concern now because of his calf. The OL will need to be sharp.

The Cowboys defense needs to limit Cook’s impact because the Vikes system is difficult to stop in the running game. Just shut down the run and hit Cousins some.

Dallas is such a tough, physical team though. I feel like they’ll wear Minn. down and kind of pull away some in the 4th if they can limit any mistakes.

I’m really looking forward to this game.

hope the cowboys offense is ready this will be a shoot out

vikings have a lot of weapon on offense and cousins is very good.

He's actually doing pretty good in that area this season. He's only thrown two against some pretty stout defenses.

Four of the six Viking opponents this season have top ten defenses at this point.

Thankfully we should have DLaw back, which should help keep Cook at bay, plus give Gregory and possibly Parsons more one on one matchups.

Yeah, I’m hoping they let Parsons have some chances to make some plays in the backfield on both Cousins and Cook. He’s just so dynamic. Like @CATCH17, I want to see him more going forwards and less in coverage.

Agreed but he’s also the type to make the big mistake at the end. Let’s hope so.

 

[Bullflop]

I think there's no question but what both the Cowboys and the Vikings will have their hands full in their upcoming game. Their defense and our offense will be in an intense dogfight, by the looks of things.

As usual a scared Cowboys fan left out that the Vikings will be without their top cornerback. The Vikings are an average team that has holes. They should have beaten the Cardinals but should have lost to the Vikings. They are headed to a 9-8 or 8-9 season. We should beat them.

Dlaw back vs Vikes ? .... i've not heard or seen any note of that at all ... and i thought i heard Stephen say that both DlaW and Gallimore are still a ways to go ...

Vikings rush defense is not good and Dallas will be able to run the ball which will open up the passing game.

I could be mistaken, but I thought DLaw was expecting to be back after the bye week.

I just checked and it looks like I was mistaken. Probably a few more weeks for DLaw, but Gallimore should be a bit sooner. I was really looking forward to getting them back. That sucks.

 

[Zordon]

They better stop Cook. If they do that everything else will take care of its self.

Thanks for the info, good stuff.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

It's a wonder what DQ would have done with Griffin. I think the entire defence knew Nolan was not the guy to lead them.

MM needs to take ownership of that awful hiring. It was his buddy and it absolutely destroyed their chances last year before Dak even got hurt

 

[AKATheRake]

Calvin Cook is no slouch and they are very talented at WR. Cousins obviously playing well.

Hope we get Gallimore back. Gallup a bonus. We need to hit Cousins and run the ball well this game. I can say that much.
