Bye-week grades: Defense and special teams

The Vikings have improved their defense, especially defending the pass, but the special teams have been the bane of this team. Putting the two on the same report card has created wildly divergent grades.

What are you talking about about. The D has been solid if not spectacular.

This position has taken a serious hit with the loss of E.J. Henderson for the season and special-teamer/prime backup Heath Farwell in the preseason

Who was that guy that tried to convince me that this LB core had not showed significant degradation.

I felt we were paper thin at talent at the position.
